A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Fort Myers Shores rides in a black SUV or climate-controlled private van at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. One driver, one group, no shared seats — your chauffeur meets your cruise party curbside at PortMiami and drives door-to-door across the state to Florida’s Gulf Coast, luggage loaded and fare locked at booking.
Every fare below is per vehicle for the whole group, one-way, with tolls, SunPass, and fuel already inside the number.
The top way is a private door-to-door transfer booked in advance in the vehicle that matches your group. Five or fewer cruise passengers ride the Black SUV; groups of six to nine take a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, and parties of ten to fourteen take the larger Sprinter. There is no shared ride and no shuttle to wait for — the vehicle is held for your group alone. After you clear the ship, your driver is already at the terminal curbside, holds a name sign when you request one on WhatsApp, helps load the cruise bags, and drives straight through to your Fort Myers Shores address. Reserve by WhatsApp, email, or the website with your ship name, disembark date, terminal, group size, and drop-off address, and you receive a confirmation before journey day.
Send your ship name, sailing date, cruise terminal, passenger count, and Fort Myers Shores address by WhatsApp, email, or the website. Book at least 24 hours ahead for confirmed availability; a shorter-notice request is reviewed manually. You receive driver, vehicle, and plate details by text the day before your pickup.
Each passenger travels with one checked bag plus one carry-on, and there is real room for cruise luggage in both the SUV and the private vans. For extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp before trip day and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van.
We run private ground transfers only, so the vehicle you book carries your cruise party and no one else. The flat rate is locked at booking and never surges for traffic, demand, or the hour of your pickup — the price you see is the price you pay. Your bilingual driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps arrival-day logistics simple for families and mixed-language groups. You reach a real person on WhatsApp for the booking, the name-sign request, and any change to your plan. The service is built around cruise timing: driver details land the day before, luggage is loaded and unloaded for you, and the vehicle waits at the terminal rather than making you find a curbside queue. Available 24/7, year-round, with five-plus years moving cruise passengers across South Florida.
Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese. That makes the meet at the terminal, the luggage handoff, and any change to the pickup time straightforward for international cruise families arriving at PortMiami who would rather not sort out plans in a second language.
The per-vehicle rate is locked the moment you confirm. It does not move for rush hour, disembark-day demand, or heavier highway traffic across the state. There is no surge model and no per-person add-on — your whole group rides for the one flat number shown in the price sheet above.
The transfer runs west across the Florida peninsula, from the PortMiami cruise terminals to the Gulf-Coast community of Fort Myers Shores. It is a genuine cross-state drive rather than a quick in-town hop, so plan it as a longer leg of your journey day. Timing depends heavily on when you leave the terminal: mid-morning disembark waves, when several ships empty their passengers at once, load the terminal roads and the outbound highway and stretch the run, while an off-peak departure moves more freely. Your driver plans the pickup around your ship’s actual disembark, so the vehicle is ready when you are and you are not paying for a car sitting in a jam it does not require to be in. Because distance and traffic vary by day, we offer you a realistic window at booking rather than a promise we cannot keep.
Yes. When multiple ships dock the same morning, the terminal exits and the roads leaving Miami are busier, which lengthens the drive. We build that into your pickup window and time the car to your ship’s release rather than a fixed clock, so a busy disembark morning does not leave you stranded on the curb.
Fort Myers Shores is a riverside residential community in Southwest Florida, set along the Caloosahatchee River east of downtown Fort Myers. The region reads as easygoing Gulf-Coast Florida — waterfront homes, boating and fishing access, and quiet neighborhood streets rather than a high-rise resort strip. It works well as a calm base for exploring the wider Fort Myers region, with its historical sites, riverfront dining, nature preserves, and the Gulf beaches that draw visitors to this corner of the state.
It is a laid-back river community, more neighborhood than nightlife. Expect canal and riverfront homes, boat docks, and slow suburban streets. Cruise travelers who want a restful Gulf-Coast stop after a busy sailing tend to like the quieter pace here compared with the busier tourist cores nearer the coast.
The surrounding Fort Myers area offers riverwalks, museums and historic estates, nature and wildlife preserves, and the Gulf beaches farther west. For planning, the region’s official visitor guide at Visit Fort Myers travel guide and the Town of Fort Myers Beach official site are good starting points.
Every choice is a private vehicle held for your group alone — no shared ride, no pooling.
The flat rate covers the private vehicle and your bilingual driver end to end. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all inside the price, so there is nothing to settle on the road. Your driver helps load and unload the cruise luggage at both ends and texts you the vehicle model and plate the day before. Courtesy waiting is included — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for a hotel pickup; beyond that window, extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks. If your ship’s disembark runs late, the pickup is re-timed at no added cost. The rate is per vehicle for the whole group, not per seat, and it does not change for traffic or demand.
Food and drinks, driver gratuity, parking costs, and unscheduled stops are not included. Gratuity is optional and always appreciated. A short nearby stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated, though a small fee may apply. Anything not listed in the inclusions is simply not part of the flat rate.
Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot in the vehicle. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and must travel in a pet carrier. Let us know before trip day so your driver has the right vehicle set up for your group and your travel companion.
Payment is by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round journey is merely double the one-way fare shown in the price sheet. For pickups starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, you confirm the booking with a 50% deposit and may pay the remaining 50% to the driver on journey day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther out — Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond — are paid in full ahead of time. This keeps the arrival-day handoff clean so you can focus on getting your group and bags settled into the vehicle.
A pickup starting at PortMiami or the Miami side confirms with a 50% deposit, and the balance is paid to the driver on trip day, cash fine. Pickups from farther areas such as Broward or Palm Beach are paid in full in advance. A full refund applies with 48-plus hours notice.
Cash is accepted for the driver-day balance on Miami-side pickups, but full cash at pickup is not accepted as the whole payment. The booking is secured beforehand through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link, so your driver is not handling the entire fare in cash on a busy disembark morning.
The last stretch runs on rural two-lane roads where tractors, produce trucks and cattle transports move slowly and passing places are few. It is a calm end to the day rather than a fast one. Nothing about the flat rate changes, but if somebody is waiting for you at the house it helps to warn them the final miles are unhurried.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM carry no surcharge. Pickups scheduled outside that window add a small fee to the journey.
Your pickup is re-timed at no extra cost when the ship docks late. The driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing and adjusts to when you actually clear the terminal, so a delayed docking does not cost you the ride or trigger a new fare. There is nothing to re-book.
Your driver waits curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal and meets your group as you exit, holding a name sign when you request one on WhatsApp in advance. Courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes from the agreed pickup time. The driver helps load your cruise luggage before the drive to Fort Myers Shores.
Yes — disembarkation-day pickups at PortMiami are the core of what we do. Book at least 24 hours ahead, share your ship and terminal, and the driver plans your pickup around the vessel’s disembark timing. The vehicle is at the curb when your group clears the terminal, luggage handled, ready for the drive to the Gulf Coast.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under five, and each extra child seat carries an extra fee confirmed at booking. Tell us your children’s ages and how many seats you require on WhatsApp when you reserve, so the correct seats are installed and ready before you reach the vehicle.
Our private vans seat 6 to 14 passengers and are priced per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group rides for the one flat rate listed in the price sheet above. There is no shared shuttle — the van is yours alone. A round journey is merely double the one-way fare.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Rural rentals almost always use a keypad or lockbox, and the code is often sent in a message thread that scrolls away. Screenshot it before you sail and check with the host that it has not been reset for the new season. Standing at an unlit door trying to remember four digits is the one avoidable ending to this journey.
