Ride private to or from Port of Miami and Select Vacation Properties: roughly 164.4 miles, 175–183 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.
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.
From the pier it is one run along I-595 — about 164.4 miles — ending at the door of Select Vacation Properties.
The booking terms fit on one hand — deposit, balance, refund window, done.
the J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge and Bowman’s Beach sit within easy reach of the stay, with Blind Pass and Captiva Village also nearby in Sanibel & Captiva.
Hotel pickups happen at the lobby door at the agreed hour. Terminal pickups are timed to disembarkation, with half an hour of free waiting so customs lines never cost you the ride.
On a run this long the difference between a packed shuttle and your own vehicle is the whole day: you set the departure, the pace, and the playlist.
Choose by headcount and luggage — every option is private and runs direct between the terminals and Select Vacation Properties.
No high-rises on Sanibel: just the lighthouse, the refuge’s mangroves, and sand that surrenders more shells than anywhere else in Florida.
Anything about the stay itself lives at Select Vacation Properties’s official page; the ride to the ship is our part.
Child safety seats are part of the service:
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
Budget 175 to 183 minutes between Port of Miami and Select Vacation Properties, depending on the hour.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s rush — thousands of passengers walk off the ships at once — so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with the I-595 traffic already priced into the plan.
We keep it personal: one group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a better experience from the first message to the terminal curb.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
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:
An app assigns whoever is nearby, in whatever car they drive, at whatever the surge says. A reservation assigns a specific vehicle to your group at a fixed fare, staged for your ship’s arrival — a different product for a morning when everyone leaves at once.
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.
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 Select Vacation Properties 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

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.
