A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Hilton Garden Inn Fort Myers Airport / FGCU runs about 142.8 miles in 140–153 minutes via I-595, at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle — a private SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
Pricing is flat and per vehicle for the one-way run — the group travels together for a single locked fare, tolls and fuel included.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a private SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes I-595, so the roughly 142.8 miles to Hilton Garden Inn Fort Myers Airport / FGCU is a single, direct leg.
The booking terms fit on one hand — deposit, balance, refund window, done.
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.
For early arrivals and late flights we run flexible, private hourly tours straight from the cruise terminals — the luggage stays locked in the vehicle while you explore.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
Hilton Garden Inn Fort Myers Airport / FGCU is based in Miromar Lakes, within the Naples–Fort Myers coast; the transfer serves the property’s own entrance, not a corner nearby.
For rooms, parking, and check-in questions, the property itself is the source — see Hilton Garden Inn Fort Myers Airport / FGCU’s official page.
Whatever the group size, the vehicle is exclusively yours for the run from the port.
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — better service, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
Count on roughly 140–153 minutes terminal to door, light traffic to heavy.
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.
Every reservation carries free wait time:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 140 to 153 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.
When the schedule falls outside 7:00 AM–9:00 PM, this is the only adjustment:
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.
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.

Van confortável para a família toda depois do cruzeiro Recomendo muito.
First time in Miami, showed up right on time. even with traffic the route was sensible. Took a shuttle last time, this was a different league. (the $80 rate stayed firm)
