Ride private to or from Port of Miami and Matanzas Inn: roughly 157.4 miles, 166–178 minutes by I-595, reserved ahead at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. One group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a pickup staged for your ship’s arrival — never a shared shuttle.
Each rate below covers the whole vehicle one way, to or from the cruise terminals — never per person, never surge-priced.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation becomes the easy part: your private SUV meets you at the terminal and runs straight to Matanzas Inn, no stops.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes I-595, so the roughly 157.4 miles to Matanzas Inn is a single, direct leg.
Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine for us:
Fort Myers Beach lines Estero Island with seven miles of shallow Gulf water, the pier district at Times Square, and Lovers Key’s wild beaches next door.
For a clean, surprise-free total, here is what stays outside the quoted price:
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
Every booking gets its own vehicle and chauffeur — a higher level of service built around your sailing, not a pooled shuttle making the rounds.
The trip normally runs 166–178 minutes for the 157.4-mile route.
Disembarkation mornings stack up fast at the terminal exits; your driver is staged before you clear the hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours, and I-595 does the rest.
Guests here often fit in Estero Island and Times Square and the pier once they land ashore, with Lovers Key State Park and Matanzas Pass also nearby in Fort Myers Beach.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
Most cruises start with a flight — we also run the MIA and FLL airport legs on the same flat-rate, private basis, so the whole travel day can sit under one booking thread.
From Matanzas Inn the port is a genuine road trip, and that is exactly when a private vehicle earns its keep — space to stretch, your own climate zone, and stops only when you ask.
With Fort Myers Beach right on the coast, a beach afternoon after the cruise is the natural next move — drop the bags at Matanzas Inn and walk to the water.
At your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island — the driver is coordinated by message as you exit the hall and meets your group at the curb. Tell us the cruise line and we stage at the correct terminal.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
As soon as your group clears the terminal — self-assist walkers are often out within the first hour, checked-luggage groups a little later. Your booking includes 30 minutes of complimentary wait, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride.
Yes. One seat for a child under 5 rides free on every booking; additional seats carry a small fee listed in the add-ons section of this page.
We watch the port schedule and shift the pickup to the ship’s actual arrival — no penalty, no re-booking. The same applies to delayed flights on airport legs.
When the schedule falls outside 7:00 AM–9:00 PM, this is the only adjustment:
Disembarkation mornings are exactly when app prices spike: thousands of passengers request cars at once and an Uber or Lyft fare can multiply at the terminal curb. A reserved transfer to Matanzas Inn is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
After a week at sea, certainty beats convenience-on-demand: the reservation carries a built-in wait window, luggage help at the curb, and a driver who has run these terminals hundreds of times.
Uber and Lyft are trademarks of their respective owners; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by either, and any comparison reflects publicly available pricing.
Send the date, group size, and your ship and we confirm the vehicle to Matanzas Inn with the pickup staged around your arrival.

Curbside pickup is our main approach. Just message us your exit gate and the driver will roll up within minutes — typically quicker than the classic sign-holding option.
Should you rather have the driver wait in the terminal holding a sign with your name, we can set that up too for $20
The day before your ride, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and its license plate, plus step-by-step curbside pickup directions.
No need to stress. We’ll message you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will automatically make his way to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll locate you; we never leave anyone stranded.

On international flights, the courtesy window stretches to 120 minutes.
For hotel pickups, there’s a 15-minute grace window.

This is uncommon, given that two complimentary hours of waiting are already built in. If you remain inside the airport past that point, the ride can be treated as a no-show. You may also ask for more waiting time, priced at US$ 30 for every additional 30-minute block, paid in cash straight to the driver.
Yes. Our drivers give a hand loading and unloading your luggage.
The standard limit is one large suitcase plus one carry-on for each traveler.

Muy recomendado. un viaje largo terminó con un trayecto tranquilo al hotel. no hubo que buscar a nadie, el auto estaba donde dijeron. Contentos con haber elegido esto.
Made the booking from the gate, punctual within the minute. they confirmed by message the night before. Perfect way to land in Miami.
Our group of six, was already at the curb when we walked out. no surprise tolls, no upselling, just the ride.
Got there fine. No drama, no rushing, no last-minute changes.
A bachelor party trip, easiest part of the whole travel day. no waving down anyone, the car was where they said. Smart way to start a trip.
