Here is a secret seasoned Miami visitors figured out years ago: flying into Fort Lauderdale is often the smartest way to start a South Beach trip. FLL is smaller than Miami International, security and baggage move faster, and fares into the airport are frequently cheaper. The only missing piece is the 26-mile ride south, and that is exactly what we do all day, every day.
Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name sign, helps with your bags, and takes the quickest route down I-95 and across the MacArthur Causeway. As you roll over Biscayne Bay with the cruise ships of PortMiami on your left and the Miami skyline behind them, you will know you made the right call. Most rides take 35 to 50 minutes door to door, and we track your flight so a late arrival never costs you your ride.
We drop you anywhere in South Beach: hotels on Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue, apartments in the Art Deco District, or a rental near Lincoln Road. No shuttle stops, no ride-share surge pricing after a long flight, just a clean car and a set fare you saw before you booked.
The route
From Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL): I-95 South to I-395 East over the MacArthur Causeway, arriving via 5th Street.
What to expect on this transfer
- Meet and greet inside the FLL terminal, with 60 minutes of free waiting time on international arrivals
- A direct run down I-95 and across the MacArthur Causeway, the fastest route to South of Fifth and Ocean Drive
- Drop-off at any hotel or address between South Pointe and 23rd Street
- Bottled water, phone chargers and free WiFi on board
Good to know before you ride
Timing tip: weekday afternoons between 3 and 7 pm are the slowest window on I-95, so a ride booked outside rush hour often lands at the lower end of the 35-to-50-minute range. Weekend mornings are usually a breeze.
If your hotel sits below 5th Street in South of Fifth, mention it in the booking notes; the one-way streets there reward a driver who approaches from Ocean Drive rather than Alton Road. Heading home, we suggest leaving South Beach three hours before a domestic departure from FLL, which still beats fighting for a taxi on Collins Avenue with suitcases in tow.
