Southwest Florida International
RSW Airport Auto Transport
Most snowbirds arriving in Southwest Florida fly into RSW and want their vehicle waiting. Here is how we coordinate a shipment with a flight — and where the realistic limits are.
What "airport delivery" actually means
RSW is the gateway for the entire region, and a large share of the Minnesota families we move fly in through it. But no car carrier delivers to an airport terminal. What people are really asking for is a vehicle that is available when they land, and there are two clean ways to do that.
The first, and the one we recommend for anyone with a Florida address, is a door-to-door delivery timed to your arrival. The second is a scheduled handoff at an agreed commercial location in the Fort Myers area near the airport, for people who have no address ready or whose community cannot take a full-size trailer.
We will tell you which of the two fits your situation when you call, rather than selling you the one that sounds more impressive.
Compare
Door-to-door versus near-airport handoff
Door-to-door (recommended)
- Driver comes as close to your address as equipment and streets allow
- No second trip, no rental car gap
- Works for the great majority of Southwest Florida addresses
- Where a community cannot take a 75-foot rig, we agree a safe nearby meeting point
- Someone you designate can receive it if your flight moves
Near-airport handoff
- Scheduled meeting at an agreed commercial location in the Fort Myers area
- Suits arrivals with no Florida address ready to receive a truck
- Suits condominium and marina addresses with no trailer access at all
- Scheduled handoff, not open-ended storage
- You will need a ride from the terminal to the meeting point
Drive times
From RSW to your Southwest Florida address
Naples · Collier County
About 45 minutes
Our home market and the single heaviest Minnesota destination on the corridor. Seasonal demand here concentrates between late October and the week after New Year's.
North Naples · Collier County
About 35 minutes
Closer to RSW than central Naples, which makes it a natural fit for customers pairing shipment with a flight into Fort Myers.
East Naples · Collier County
About 50 minutes
Mixed housing stock and a strong year-round population, so carrier availability holds up better here in the shoulder months.
Bonita Springs · Lee County
About 25 minutes
Sits between Naples and Fort Myers on the same run, so it is rarely a detour for a driver already delivering in Collier County.
Estero · Lee County
About 15 minutes
The closest priority market to RSW, and the easiest place on the corridor to line a delivery up with an arriving flight.
Fort Myers · Lee County
About 20 minutes
The regional freight hub. More trucks pass through Fort Myers than any other point in Southwest Florida, which usually means the shortest delivery windows in the region.
Fort Myers Beach · Lee County
About 35 minutes
Island geography changes the plan. Deliveries here are commonly completed from a mainland meeting point rather than at the residence.
Cape Coral · Lee County
About 35 minutes
Enormous residential footprint with canal-side streets. Most deliveries are simple; the far northwest quadrant adds drive time for the driver.
Marco Island · Collier County
About 65 minutes
Bridge access and a heavy condo mix make this the market where planning the handoff matters most. It is also a strong enclosed-transport destination.
Punta Gorda · Charlotte County
About 50 minutes
North of the main SWFL cluster and directly on I-75, so drivers often handle it on the way in rather than as a separate leg.
Ave Maria · Collier County
About 45 minutes
Inland and comparatively remote. Fewer trucks route through it, so the delivery window is typically a day or two wider than coastal Collier.
