About this route
Private transportation from Miami Airport to FLL and Fort Lauderdale
This route is useful when your flight arrives at MIA but your next flight, hotel, residence, or event is in Broward County. Your vehicle is assigned to your party, with capacity checked against both passengers and luggage before confirmation.
FLL and Fort Lauderdale are not interchangeable pickup instructions. For FLL, provide the airline or terminal details. For a city pickup, provide the full hotel, residence, or venue address so the driver can coordinate the correct entrance.
Plan the connection with enough margin
- For MIA-to-FLL connections, allow time for immigration, baggage claim, road traffic, airline check-in, and security at the second airport.
- A transfer reservation cannot guarantee a flight connection. Choose flights with a realistic interval and share both flight numbers.
- North Fort Lauderdale Beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FXE, Pompano Beach, and farther-north destinations use different zones and rates.

Connecting flights between Miami Airport and FLL
MIA and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport are separate airports. When booking an airport connection, provide the arriving and departing flight numbers, travel date and full passenger and luggage count. Your driver coordinates the MIA pickup after you collect your bags and takes you to the confirmed FLL departure area.
Allow for the complete connection: airport arrival procedures, baggage collection, road traffic, check-in and security at FLL. Travel time changes with conditions, so leave a generous margin. For the reverse trip, reserve FLL to MIA as its own one-way service and include both sets of flight details.
Fort Lauderdale hotels, Port Everglades and the correct fare
We serve FLL, Port Everglades, Hollywood, Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and Pompano Beach. Enter your exact address to calculate the fixed distance-based fare.
For a Port Everglades cruise, include the cruise line, ship and terminal when known. For a hotel or residence, provide the property entrance and any security instructions. Our private SUV and van service can also collect your group at these locations for a separately booked trip back to Miami Airport.
