Skip parking and traffic stress
At Amerant Bank Arena parking lots fill quickly, especially when playing rivals, on the weekends and playoff games. It doesn’t take long for traffic to back up and navigating unfamiliar lots can cause frustration.
When booking with a private transportation company you can rest assured that you’ll be dropped off close to the arena and pickup up after the last play. No circling, rushing or debating who’s driving home. Arrival and departure is meant to be stress free so you can enjoy the game without the headache of transportation.
Enjoy a comfortable, direct ride
Naples to Amerant is a haul, especially when traffic increases. Booking a ride with a professional transportation company allows you to stretch out, chat or grab a drink. You can enjoy the ride without studying GPS routes or traffic apps. Door-to-door service makes your trip enjoyable rather than a chore.
Ideal for couples, families, groups, and corporate outings
A Panthers game provides an experience just about everyone can enjoy. Couples enjoy a stress-free night, families can avoid parking chaos with kids. Groups can ride together on a mini or full sized charter bus without having to coordinate multiple vehicles. Corporate outings feel all inclusive from the beginning to the end.
Recommended Departure from Naples
Timing is everything when you’re heading across the state for a game. Leaving too late adds stress. Leaving too early wastes time. The sweet spot depends on the day and the demand.
Weeknight games
Traffic can be unpredictable, planning to leave about 4 hours before game time gives you enough time to find your seat, grab some food and drinks. Leaving with plenty of time helps to avoid pre-game chaos.
Weekend games
Weekends bring heavier traffic and fuller arenas. Like weeknight games, leaving 4 to 4.5 hours before game time is usually a smart choice. The ride stays relaxed and allows for some flexibility to stop for drinks or arrive early and enjoy the pre-game activities.
Playoff or high-demand games
Everything usually takes longer when it comes to playoff hockey, from traffic to entering the arena. It is wise to leave up to 5 hours early to ensure you aren’t rushing.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Tips at Benchmark International Arena
Knowing where and how you’re dropped off and picked up can make or break the end of the night.
Smoothest drop-off zones
Professional drivers are familiar with the arena’s preferred drop-off areas and traffic flow. A clean curbside drop means you’re steps from the entrance without battling parking attendants or foot traffic. It’s one of those details that makes the night feel seamless.
Post-game pickup strategies
After the final buzzer, crowds move fast and cell service can be spotty. The best strategy is a pre-planned pickup point and timing. Your driver tracks the game and traffic conditions, so when you’re ready to leave, your ride is already in motion and not stuck blocks away.
Best Places to Stop Along the Route
One of the perks of a private ride is flexibility. Turning the drive into part of the experience makes the night even better.
Las Olas Boulevard dining and drinks
Las Olas Boulevard is a popular stop for a quick bite or drink before the first play. Whether you want a casual meal or a relaxed cocktail, it’s a quick drive from the stadium to stretch your legs and fuel up before the game. YOLO is a popular restaurant serving a steaks, cocktails and a welcoming social crew.
Everglades Holiday Park for the kids
Everglades Holiday Park is about 12 miles from the arena, making it a convenient stop for the family. Located west of Fort Lauderdale this park offers a true Everglades experience. Airboat rides are available where you can spot alligators, birds and native wildlife.
Quick stretch and snack breaks
Sometimes you just want a quick stop, coffee, snacks, or a restroom break. With private transportation, those stops are easy and planned without throwing off your arrival time.
