A private transfer to or from MIA and Pelican Bay covers 125.4 miles (201.8 km) in about 121 to 137 minutes door to door, at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver runs the journey largely along I-75 north out of Miami in a black SUV or a climate-controlled private van, straight to your Naples address.
The flat rate depends only on your vehicle size, not the number of passengers or when you book:
Payment is split so you are never covering everything up front. We accept Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though card and link payments carry the bank fee noted above. For a pickup on the Miami side — the main direction of this route — a 50% deposit confirms your booking and the remaining 50% can be paid to the driver on the trip day, cash accepted. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas are asked to pay in full ahead of time; we tell you which applies when you book. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare, booked as one reservation with both legs locked in. Cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund; inside 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable.
Door to door, the ride runs about 121 to 137 minutes, off-peak to peak. Off-peak — mid-morning or early afternoon on a clear day — you can expect the lower end, close to two hours flat. Peak windows around Miami rush hour and holiday weekends push the trip toward 137 minutes, since traffic building on I-75 north is the main variable on a route this long. The distance itself does not change; only the congestion does. Weather along the Gulf side and construction near the interchanges can add a little more time. Because this is a long-distance transfer, one short comfort stop for a restroom or snack can be arranged on route if you ask your driver ahead of time. Building a small buffer into your pickup time keeps everything relaxed, especially if you have a dinner reservation or a check-in waiting for you in Naples.
These are the questions travelers ask most about the run between the airport and Naples’ Pelican Bay.
You have nothing to do. The driver follows your inbound flight live and shifts the curbside pickup at no charge whenever you run late or land early. With 2 hours of courtesy waiting on international arrivals and 1 hour on domestic, a typical delay is already accounted for and your driver stays put.
The included pickup happens at the curb, not inside — your driver is waiting there, ready the moment you step out with your luggage. Prefer a terminal greeting with a name sign? That in-terminal meet-and-greet is a paid optional extra. A day ahead we text the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate so you know exactly who to look for.
You pay per vehicle, never per passenger — the whole group travels on the single flat figure shown above, whether two of you ride or the van is full. A round trip runs exactly twice the one-way fare, arranged as one reservation with both legs fixed when you book.
Yes. This is a private point-to-point car service linking Miami International with Pelican Bay in Naples, operated with a black SUV or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van and a bilingual driver. One named driver, one flat rate — never a shared or scheduled service — delivered to your exact address.
Yes, service runs 24/7 all year, backed by more than 5 years on this route. Rides between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM carry no surcharge; outside that window the small night surcharge above applies. Reserve at least 24 hours out; shorter-notice requests are handled manually, though availability on that timeline is not guaranteed.
Yes. Groups travel in a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van sized for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 passengers, keeping everyone in one reserved vehicle instead of separate cars. Share your headcount and luggage total at booking and we assign the van that fits your party.
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.

Pelican Bay is an upscale, master-planned residential community on the Gulf coast in Naples, Florida. Its character is quiet, green, and coastal: mangrove preserves, boardwalks, and a stretch of private beach set the tone, with resort-style tennis, golf, and dining tucked among the neighborhoods. Visitors come for the calm, the racquet and beach clubs, and the walkable luxury shopping and restaurants at the district’s edge, where high-end retail meets Gulf-view patios. The Pelican Bay Foundation community site is the best place to read about the amenities, beach access, and member facilities that define the area. Whether you are arriving for a seasonal stay, a family visit, or a business trip, a private transfer drops you directly at your residence, club, or rental address, so the last mile is as easy as the highway miles before it.
Pelican Bay lies along the northern Gulf-front stretch of Naples, close to the greater North Naples area and its beach districts. Since our transfer is private and door-to-door, we deliver you to whatever precise address you name — a home, a club, or a vacation rental — anywhere in and around the community, never a fixed central drop point.
The Gulf shoreline is the main attraction: private beach access, mangrove boardwalks, golf and tennis, along with upscale shops and waterfront restaurants on the district’s edge. Days tend to run outdoors and unhurried. Your driver can deliver you to the beach tram, the shopping district, or your dinner table as part of arrival — no detour to any shared route.
Every trip is a private ride reserved for your group only — no pooling, no detours to collect strangers along the way. The fare is a flat rate locked when you book, so the price you agree to is the price you pay, regardless of traffic or demand. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and tracks your inbound flight so the curbside pickup lines up with your real landing time, not the scheduled one. Drivers help load and unload your bags at both ends, and the day before the trip we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate with clear pickup instructions. You reach us directly on WhatsApp for any change — a later pickup, an extra bag, a question about your drop-off — and a real person answers. That direct line and a single named driver are what make a two-hour run to Naples feel genuinely handled.
The most direct way is a private door-to-door transfer booked ahead: one driver, one vehicle, straight to your Pelican Bay address with no transfers and no waiting on other riders. Start by choosing the vehicle that fits your party — a black SUV for up to 5, a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or a larger private van for 10 to 14. Booking takes a single message on WhatsApp or email with your flight number, pickup time, and drop-off address. We confirm availability, then text your driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate the day before, along with curbside pickup instructions. On the day, your driver meets you at the curb, helps load your bags, and drives the full route north to Naples. You settle in and let the highway miles pass — the whole trip is arranged as one booking, so there is nothing to sort out along the way.
The flat fare already covers the essentials of the drive. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are built into the rate, so nothing is added for the highway itself. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, and sealed bottled water is available on board. Your driver helps load and unload luggage at both ends. The standard luggage allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger; if you are traveling with extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van. Courtesy waiting is included — 2 hours for international arrivals, 1 hour for domestic arrivals, and 15 minutes for hotel or residence pickups — and your pickup is re-timed at no charge if the flight is delayed or lands early. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on if you would rather be met inside the terminal.
Several items fall outside the flat rate. Paying by card or payment link adds a 4% bank fee. Rides outside daytime hours carry the night surcharge described below. Waiting beyond the courtesy window is charged in 30-minute increments. Unplanned stops are excluded, though a brief stop organized in advance can usually be arranged. Tipping is optional and always appreciated.
With advance WhatsApp notice, small pets are welcome and must travel in a pet carrier. For kids, the first child seat for a child under 5 comes free; every further seat has a small fee confirmed at booking. Share ages and seat counts beforehand so your vehicle arrives fully prepared.
Send your flight number, pickup date and time, group size, and Pelican Bay drop-off address, and we will confirm your vehicle and lock the flat rate. Message us on WhatsApp for the fastest reply, or email to reserve your private transfer to or from MIA and Pelican Bay.

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.
Got us to the conference 20 min before the keynote. Couldn’t have gone better.
Buen precio. Reserva fácil. Viaje cómodo.
Nice service, professional attitude the whole way.
Well organized: easiest part of the whole travel day, made small talk only when I wanted, showed up right on time. The $80 rate stayed firm
Got there fine. No issues, no surprises, no hassle.
