Naples Municipal Airport sits about 3 miles east of downtown Naples, Florida. The short distance keeps costs low for trips into the city itself, but prices climb quickly if you are heading south to Marco Island or north to Bonita Springs.
Why there is no fare table on this page
APF has no taxi rank and no regulated airport fare — no authority sets one. Your two realistic options price themselves in completely different ways:
- Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is dynamic. The app quotes you before you confirm, and that quote moves with demand, time of day and season.
- A pre-booked private transfer fixes the price when you book.
Any range printed in a guide is a snapshot of one moment on one day, and Naples is precisely the market where that snapshot is least reliable — see the season note below. So the numbers worth knowing are the distances, and then the quote you get yourself.

Other destinations
Downtown Naples is a short enough hop that the cost is modest whichever option you take. Marco Island is where the decision starts to matter.
What affects the price
Season matters more here than at most airports. Naples is a major snowbird destination, and from January through March the population nearly doubles. Rideshare demand goes up, wait times increase, and surge pricing becomes common. If you are visiting during high season, a pre-booked transfer removes the pricing uncertainty entirely — that is its whole value proposition here.
Time of day also plays a role. Late evening arrivals may face limited rideshare availability — APF is a low-volume airport, so there may not be drivers nearby after dark. Thin supply and dynamic pricing are a bad combination.
Bottom line
For downtown Naples, the cost is modest either way — check the app and go. For Marco Island or anywhere beyond a 15-mile radius, get a transfer quote before you fly and compare it with the app on the day. During peak season, a guaranteed price is worth more than it looks in a quiet month.
When a private transfer from APF is the right choice
- Three or more people: a 4-seat car to Naples is from €120, about €30 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.
- Going to a specific address rather than the main station: the car goes to the door, so the public-transport fare is not the whole cost of the trip.
- Arriving tired or late: the driver waits at arrivals with your name, included for 60 minutes after landing.
