Cape Coral side

What happens on the Florida end

  • Cape Coral has more than 400 miles of canals, and the streets that follow them are narrow, dead-ended and often lined with parked boat trailers. A 75-to-80-foot carrier physically cannot turn around on many of them.
  • Gated communities — Sandoval, Entrada, Cape Royal, Coral Lakes, Bella Vida, Tuscany Isles — want the carrier on the vendor log before it reaches the callbox. Give us the community name when you book and we clear it in advance.
  • The Cape Coral Bridge and Midpoint Bridge are tolled; the Caloosahatchee (US 41) bridge is not. Carriers coming from I-75 usually route Colonial to Veterans or Pine Island Road, which is why north-Cape addresses often get an earlier arrival window than the south end.
  • Season matters on the ground too: between January and March the Cape's arterials carry double their off-season traffic, so drivers prefer early-morning windows before 10 a.m.
