Ride private to or from Port of Miami and Sanibel Captiva Beach Resorts: roughly 173.8 miles, 195–201 minutes by I-595, reserved ahead at a flat rate from $505 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.
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.
Your driver follows I-595 for the 173.8-mile hop and drops the group at the entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
the J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge and the Sanibel Lighthouse sit within easy reach of the stay, with Blind Pass and Captiva Village also nearby in Sanibel & Captiva.
Staying at Sanibel Captiva Beach Resorts puts the shoreline steps away — plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark.
Docked in the morning with an evening flight — or in town early? Our private hourly tours run from the port with your luggage stored securely in the vehicle the whole time.
If your itinerary includes MIA or FLL, ask for the airport leg when you message us: same vehicles, same flat pricing, one coordinated plan for the day.
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 Sanibel Captiva Beach Resorts’s official page; the ride to the ship is our part.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
Count on roughly 195–201 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.
We keep it personal: one group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a better experience from the first message to the terminal curb.
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
The flat rate is honest because its edges are clear — these are not included:
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 195 to 201 minutes terminal to door, depending on traffic and the hour.
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.
For dawn embarkations or late-night returns, a modest after-hours amount applies:
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.
There is also the wait itself. A rideshare is requested only after you clear the hall and hauls you to a pickup zone; our driver is coordinated by message as you exit, with 30 minutes of courtesy wait already included, and a schedule change on your side is a message, not a new fare.
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 Sanibel Captiva Beach Resorts with the pickup staged around your arrival.
Message first rather than calling — we are often mid-service with other clients and answer texts fastest.

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 $20
The day before your ride, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and its license plate, plus step-by-step curbside pickup directions.
No need to stress. We’ll message you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will automatically make his way to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll locate you; we never leave anyone stranded.
On domestic flights, we allow up to 60 minutes of waiting after arrival.
On international flights, the courtesy window stretches to 120 minutes.
For hotel pickups, there’s a 15-minute grace window.
For port pickups, we hold up to 60 minutes beyond the scheduled time.
This is uncommon, given that two complimentary hours of waiting are already built in. If you remain inside the airport past that point, the ride can be treated as a no-show. You may also ask for more waiting time, priced at US$ 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.

Yes. Small pets are welcome, provided they remain in a secure carrier. Please give us a heads-up in advance.
Yes. One free child car seat comes with the ride for kids under five. Need an additional seat? Request it ahead of time; it runs US$ 15.
We’d appreciate it if you didn’t eat while traveling. Only water in sealed bottles may be brought on board.
Unplanned stops aren’t part of the base fare. That said, if a short, nearby stop is set up in advance, we’ll do our best to work it in. A modest charge may apply depending on the extra time.
Yes. Give us a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and, subject to availability, we’ll move your pickup time.

Nossa família de quatro chegou tarde e chegou alguns minutinhos antes, o wifi funcionou, as crianças se entretiveram no caminho, feliz por ter escolhido essa opção.
Precio fijo justo por la recogida en el puerto.
Pontuais e atenciosos. não tive que ficir ligando pra achar. mesmo com trânsito a rota fez sentido. Tudo certo no geral.
Comfortable van for the whole family after the cruise . Highly recommend.
Despedida de solteiro, saiu mais barato que o Uber Black da viagem passada.
