The short answer
RSW is easy to navigate, but seasonal Southwest Florida traffic can hit hard. Treat two hours as time in the security line, and add the long-term-lot shuttle before that clock.

Ground transportation
Don’t stand at the wrong curb
Uber and Lyft pick up on the Arrivals level. Follow the airport's rideshare signs after baggage claim rather than waiting at an arbitrary curb.
The on-airport Rental Car Service Center is on the ground level of the parking garage directly across from the terminal; off-airport companies use shuttles.
RSW has one main terminal, but Concourses B, C, and D use separate checkpoints. Verify the airline concourse before screening because moving between concourses may require another TSA screening.
