Airport Transportation Options

If you are flying into the Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers, FL, there are several transportation options to get to the host hotel – the Naples Grande Beach Resort at 475 Seagate Drive, Naples, Florida, 34103.

Uber or Lyft

The estimated fare for a one-way ride between the airport and the hotel using Uber or Lyft is around $30-35. You have to download the Uber or Lyft app to use these services. To find your Uber or Lift driver, exit the terminal on the arrivals level (the lower level). This is where all Uber/Lyft driver-partners at RSW meet travelers for pickup. Note: You can tip directly from either app, which also emails you a receipt of payment.
