A private transfer to or from MIA and Iona covers 152.5 miles (245.4 km) in about 151 to 164 minutes door to door, in a Black SUV or private van at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. The ride runs the length of I-75 across South Florida, with a bilingual chauffeur who tracks your flight and meets you curbside — one booking, one reserved vehicle for your whole group.
Every fare below is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price, locked at booking.
Nothing changes on your end. The driver tracks your inbound flight in real time and re-times the curbside pickup at no extra cost whether you land early or late. Courtesy waiting covers 2 hours for international arrivals and 1 hour for domestic, so a normal delay is already built in.
Trips outside the daytime hours of 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM carry a modest surcharge, applied once per trip and confirmed at booking.
A better-organized, premium ride — fixed price, an assigned driver, and a pickup timed to your flight — for a significantly lower overall price than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

A single reservation and one synchronized pickup, at a significantly lower price than a surging Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
Uber, Uber Black, Lyft, and Lyft Lux are the trademarks of their respective holders. We have no affiliation with, sponsorship from, or endorsement by any of them. The comparison draws on publicly available pricing as of 2026.
The flat per-vehicle fare covers the whole drive with no add-ons needed to complete the trip.
Certain items fall outside the base fare. The in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optIonal paid add-on. Once the courtesy waiting window ends, further time bills in 30-minute blocks. A first child seat for a rider under 5 comes free; every additIonal seat has a small fee confirmed at booking. Gratuity is optIonal and always appreciated.
Pick your vehicle by group size and luggage — every option below is private and reserved for your party only.
The included pickup is curbside: the driver watches your flight and is ready at the terminal curb as you come out with your bags. The night before, you get a text with the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate. An in-terminal meet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on.
The most direct way is a private point-to-point transfer that leaves MIA the moment your group is ready and drives straight to your Iona address via I-75. You choose the vehicle by headcount: a Black SUV holds up to 5 passengers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter fits 6 to 9, and a larger Sprinter takes 10 to 14. There is no shared seating and no mid-route detours — the car is reserved for your party alone. Because it is a single long-distance run of roughly two and a half hours, one short comfort stop for a restroom or snack can be arranged on route if you ask ahead. The driver loads your bags, sets the climate control, and covers every toll along the way so the trip is uninterrupted from the terminal curb to the front door in Iona.
The driver follows your inbound flight and stages the vehicle at the terminal curb for the moment you walk out with your luggage. A text the night before gives you the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate, so you know precisely which car waits at the door.
Share your flight number, group size, and Iona address over WhatsApp or email, and the vehicle and pickup time get confirmed. Reserving at least 24 hours out guarantees a slot; requests under 24 hours still receive a manual review, though availability then hinges on driver schedules.
A private vehicle reserved for your group is the core of what we do — no pooling, no strangers, no extra pickups on the way to Iona. The rate is a flat fare locked at the moment you book, so a delayed flight, heavy traffic, or a busy travel weekend never changes the number you agreed to. Your chauffeur is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths every step from the curb to your door. Booking and coordination happen over direct WhatsApp, so you reach a real person rather than an app queue. Drivers help load and unload luggage at both ends, and the car is climate-controlled the whole way. With more than five years running these routes and 24/7, year-round availability, the service is built around one reserved, coordinated ride from MIA to Iona.
A vetted bilingual chauffeur takes your route. The day before travel, a text delivers the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate together with curbside pickup directions, so spotting your car and driver on arrival takes no guesswork at the terminal.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the single flat price shown in the fare list above, whether it is two passengers or a full van. Nothing is charged by the head, and the number is locked at booking with no surge for traffic or demand.
The ride runs about 151 to 164 minutes door to door, depending on traffic. Off-peak — early mornings or midday — the trip is closest to 151 minutes across the 152.5 miles of I-75. During peak windows, mainly weekday rush hours and holiday weekends, the same distance can push toward 164 minutes as volume builds on the corridor. Because your fare is fixed at booking, that swing never costs you more; the meter does not move with the clock. On a run of this length, the driver keeps a steady pace and can arrange one short comfort stop if you request it in advance. Plan your day around the peak-side estimate when you have an appointment or reservation in Iona, and give the earlier figure when you are simply heading home to unwind.
Yes. Weekday rush hours and holiday travel days account for the gap between the off-peak and peak figures above — around a quarter hour on the long I-75 corridor. The fixed fare never changes regardless, so heavy traffic only shifts the arrival estimate, never what you pay.
A private shuttle to Iona is our Sprinter van, priced per vehicle at the flat van rate in the fare list above — one price for the whole group, never per seat. Outside daytime hours a small surcharge applies. It is a private van reserved for your party, not a shared or scheduled service.
The standard allowance is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and the driver loads and unloads it all. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance — we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van so everything rides comfortably.
Yes to both. Small pets ride with advance WhatsApp notice, in a pet carrier. The first child seat for a rider under 5 is free; each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Let us know your needs ahead so the right setup is in the car.
Iona is a residential community on the Southwest Florida coast in the greater Fort Myers area, close to the Gulf and the causeway roads toward the barrier islands. The character is calm and suburban — waterfront homes, marinas, palm-lined streets, boat ramps, and easy access to riverside dining and small shopping plazas. It draws seasonal visitors, families settling in, and boaters, rather than a dense downtown crowd. Travelers searching this name sometimes mean other places entirely, such as the Iona University campus in the New York metro area or the P&O Iona cruise ship — but this transfer serves the Iona community here in Florida, reached from MIA along I-75.
The character here is coastal and outdoor-minded — marinas and boat ramps, riverside waterfront restaurants, nature preserves, and the route out toward the Gulf beaches and barrier islands. It rewards a slower rhythm: fishing, paddling, sunsets on the water, and long unhurried meals over nightlife.
Places to stay spread across the greater Fort Myers and south Lee County areas, from riverside neighborhoods to the districts closer to the Gulf and the island causeways. Pick your spot by how near the water you want to be; whichever area it is, we drop you at any address you name.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; card or link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare above. For a pickup on the Miami side — the main direction of this route — you confirm the booking with a 50% deposit and pay the remaining 50% to the driver on trip day, in cash if you prefer. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas are arranged with full payment in advance instead. Whatever the method, the amount is the flat figure you agreed to at booking, with nothing added for traffic or timing.
On a Miami-side pickup, a 50% deposit secures the reservation and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on the day of travel. A full refund applies with 24 or more hours’ notice of cancellation; inside 24 hours of pickup, the booking becomes non-refundable.
Send your flight number, passenger count, and Iona address, and we confirm the vehicle, the driver, and your pickup time. Book at least 24 hours ahead for a guaranteed slot; you can move a booked pickup time with 24 or more hours’ notice, subject to availability. We run 24/7, year-round — message us to lock in your transfer to or from MIA and Iona.

Aim for a full day — 24 hours — before pickup. Around holidays and packed weekends, the sooner you reserve, the more vehicle options we can hold for you.
Of course. Bookings come in from every corner of the world; international payments are no problem, and updates reach you over WhatsApp and email.
We operate on advance reservations only. Four hours ahead is the practical minimum, and a same-day slot depends entirely on availability — it can’t be promised.
A part-payment locks your reservation: 50% when the total is under $199 USD, and 30% once it reaches $200 USD or more.
Not fully. The vehicle is secured with a 50% deposit sent by Zelle or our payment link; whatever remains can be handed to the driver in cash on arrival.
Not at all — hotels, cruise ports, train stations, restaurants and private homes are all regular stops for us.
The fleet runs from XL SUVs for small parties to 12- and 14-seat vans, plus full-size buses holding 40 to 54 riders — a fit for big events.
Gladly — weddings, corporate conferences, VIP outings and similar events all get a tailored quote; just message us.
Part of the fleet carries Wi-Fi and USB outlets. Flag it when booking if you depend on either, and we’ll assign a vehicle that has both.
Never — every transfer is private. The vehicle belongs to your group alone from pickup to drop-off.
Relax: we follow your flight live and slide the pickup to match, with no fee for the adjustment.
Send over the new details the moment you have them; we update the booking and keep watching the revised flight.
Standard pickup is curbside — text your exit door and the car pulls up within minutes, typically faster than a sign-holder. An in-terminal greeting with your name on a sign is available for $20 if you prefer it.
A day ahead you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle model and its plate number, plus step-by-step curbside instructions.
Stay calm — a message goes out to you as soon as your plane touches down. No quick reply? The driver walks to the international arrivals hall to look for you there. Nobody gets left behind.
Sixty minutes after a domestic landing, a two-hour courtesy on international arrivals, 15 minutes at hotels, and up to an hour past the agreed time at the port.
With two free hours already included it’s rare, but beyond that the trip can be treated as a no-show. Extra waiting can be added at US$ 30 per additional 30-minute block, paid in cash directly to the driver.
Yes — loading and unloading your bags is part of the driver’s job.
One large case plus one carry-on per rider is standard. Extra suitcases, instruments, mobility gear or strollers? Tell us beforehand so the right space is set aside; a supplement may apply.
Small pets ride happily — inside a secure carrier — as long as you mention them ahead of time.
One seat for a child under five comes free; additional seats are US$ 15 each when requested in advance.
Please hold the food for later — only sealed bottled water is fine during the ride.
They’re not part of the base fare, but a brief nearby stop arranged beforehand can usually be worked in; a small time-based fee may apply.
Sure — with at least 24 hours’ warning we’ll re-slot it, subject to availability.
None — the quote is the final figure. Tipping the driver is optional, always appreciated, never required.
