This is a terminal-to-door private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Anchor Inn Cottages — about 148.1 miles and 166–176 minutes along I-595 — booked in advance at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle, with a bilingual chauffeur and full luggage assistance included.
Pricing is flat and per vehicle for the one-way run — the group travels together for a single locked fare, tolls and fuel included.
Skip the taxi line and the luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble — reserve a private SUV in advance and the terminal pickup is planned around your ship, not around app availability.
Your driver follows I-595 for the 148.1-mile hop and drops the group at the entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
Estero Island and Lovers Key State Park sit within easy reach of the stay, with Matanzas Pass and Bowditch Point Park also nearby in Fort Myers Beach.
Leaving for the ship, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and loads the bags; coming off the ship, the car is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit — with 30 minutes of courtesy wait built in.
From Anchor Inn Cottages 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.
Ships rarely clear all passengers at one exact minute, so the pickup is planned around your ship’s arrival with the included 30-minute wait absorbing customs and the luggage hall — you walk out, the vehicle is there, and Anchor Inn Cottages is next.
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.
Child safety seats are part of the service:
The flat rate is honest because its edges are clear — these are not included:
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
Budget 166 to 176 minutes between Port of Miami and Anchor Inn Cottages, depending on the hour.
Traffic on I-595 is the only variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute.
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — a higher level of service, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 166 to 176 minutes terminal to door, depending on traffic and the hour.
Yes — the same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg. Book both directions together and each pickup is planned around your ship’s schedule.
Plan on one checked bag plus a carry-on per passenger in the SUV; the vans carry proportionally more. Message us about oversized items and we confirm the right vehicle.
Yes — book both legs together (each priced at the flat one-way rate) and the return pickup is scheduled for your sailing date.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
The difference shows at 8 AM on a turnaround Saturday: app queues and climbing multipliers at the port exits on one side; on the other, a chauffeur already staged at your terminal at a fare set days ago.
Coming off a ship with the whole passenger list, the calculus is simple — a locked fare and a driver already assigned, instead of hoping the nearest car accepts a trip from the port at rush hour.

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
