FLL to Key Biscayne
Over the Rickenbacker to island calm
Distance

Travel time
45-60 minutes
Fare
from $109
Key Biscayne is where Miami goes to exhale. Past the tollbooth on the Rickenbacker Causeway, the city noise fades, the water turns that impossible green, and the speed limit stops mattering quite so much. Getting there from Fort Lauderdale Airport takes a little planning, which is precisely why a pre-booked private car beats any alternative.
The trip runs about 34 miles and takes 45 to 60 minutes, first south on I-95, then out over the causeway with Biscayne Bay on both sides, across Virginia Key, and finally into the village. The causeway toll is already in your fare, along with airport fees and waiting time, so the price you see at booking is the price you pay on the island.
Families bound for Crandon Park, couples at the Ritz-Carlton, and regulars with condos near the Village Green all ride this route with us. If your plans include Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park at the island’s southern tip, mention it: the lighthouse at sunset is worth building an evening around, and your driver can drop you within a short walk of the trailhead.
The route

Good to know before you ride
Big weekend events like the Miami Open at Crandon Park tennis center put pressure on the causeway; if your dates overlap a tournament, book the earlier end of your window and your driver will manage the rest.
Cell coverage is solid on the island but building layouts can be maze-like at the larger condo complexes, so a unit number and lobby name help enormously. For the trip back to FLL, islanders usually allow 75 minutes before they want to be at the terminal; the causeway rarely misbehaves, but when it does, there is only one road out.
