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.
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.
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 handles your route. The day before the trip, we text the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, along with curbside pickup instructions, so you can recognize your car and driver on arrival without guessing at the terminal.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your driver watches the inbound flight and positions the vehicle at the terminal curb as you come out with your bags. The night before, you receive a text with the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate so you know exactly which car to look for at the door.
Send your flight number, passenger count, and Iona address by WhatsApp or email, and we confirm the vehicle and pickup time. Book at least 24 hours ahead for a guaranteed slot; an under-24-hour request is still reviewed by hand, though availability then depends on driver schedules.
The flat per-vehicle fare covers the whole drive with no add-ons needed to complete the trip.
A few items sit outside the base fare. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on. After the courtesy waiting window, extra time is billed in 30-minute blocks. A first child seat for a rider under 5 is free; each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Gratuity is optional and always appreciated.
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.
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.
For a Miami-side pickup, a 50% deposit locks in your reservation, and the other 50% goes to the driver on the day of travel. Cancel with 24 or more hours’ notice for a full refund; within 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable.
Pick your vehicle by group size and luggage — every option below is private and reserved for your party only.
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 add the difference between the off-peak and peak figures above, roughly a quarter hour on the long I-75 corridor. The fixed fare stays the same regardless, so slower traffic only affects your arrival estimate, never the price you pay.
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 more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

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 area leans coastal and outdoorsy — marinas and boat ramps, waterfront restaurants along the river, nature preserves, and the road out toward the Gulf beaches and barrier islands. It suits a slower pace: fishing, paddling, sunsets over the water, and unhurried meals rather than nightlife.
Stays cluster in the broader Fort Myers and south Lee County areas, from riverside neighborhoods to the districts nearer the Gulf and the island causeways. Choose a spot by how close you want to be to the water; we drop you at any address you provide, whichever area you pick.
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.
