Three airportstwo cruise ports

It depends far more on your destination than on distance. Miami International (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), Palm Beach International (PBI) are the main options, and the drive times differ enough that the cheapest ticket is often not the cheapest arrival. The table above sets out distance and typical drive time for each, and every airport has its own page with terminal detail and pickup arrangements.

In the designated pre-arranged pickup area for your terminal, with the chauffeur calling as you reach the doors. Pickup zones at MIA change during construction and reorganisation, so the operator confirms the current meeting point on the morning of your flight rather than relying on anything printed in advance. Being met inside arrivals on your name is a paid add-on.

Between 20 to 30 min off-peak and 35 to 65 min in weekday peak traffic, door to door from the arrivals kerb. Published figures shorter than that usually describe a quiet Sunday morning. Each route from the airport has its own page with the roads used and the times worth avoiding.

Yes. Bridge, tunnel and expressway tolls, express lane charges, airport access fees and taxes are all inside the price quoted at the time of booking. Ride-hailing apps and taxis add these to your fare per trip, which is why two apparently similar quotes can settle very differently at the end of the ride.

Yes. Every vehicle is run by a for-hire operator licensed in its own jurisdiction, with licensing and insurance verified before they can take a booking rather than checked per ride.

Sixty minutes of free waiting from the actual landing time, tracked against the aircraft rather than the schedule, which covers immigration, baggage and customs. Every other pickup includes 15 minutes. Beyond the free window, waiting is billed in 15-minute increments at the vehicle class rate and you are told before it starts.

At least 3 hours before pickup so the operator can assign and brief a chauffeur, though RYDES takes reservations up to a year out. For group vehicles and for the busy weeks noted above, book as early as you can, because availability runs out long before price becomes the problem.

Add your flight number and we track the aircraft. A delay moves your pickup automatically and costs nothing, with free waiting starting at the actual landing time. A diversion is handled by dispatch, who will re-brief a chauffeur to the new field where the operator has coverage. Dispatch answers around the clock on +1 888 881 7933.

Yes, with a two-hour minimum in 30-minute increments. The chauffeur waits between stops and nothing runs while you are inside a meeting. Once a day involves three or more stops, hourly hire is usually cheaper than separate transfers once you count the waiting you would have done anyway.

Yes, both, and they are among our largest Florida bookings. PortMiami is twenty to thirty minutes from Miami International and Port Everglades is ten to twenty from Fort Lauderdale, which is worth factoring into which airport you fly into. Bookings are timed to your boarding window rather than the clock, luggage handling is included, and on a Saturday morning in season the roads into both ports are saturated from early, so we build that into the pickup time.

Miami is the international gateway and the right answer for Brickell, the Beach and Coral Gables. Fort Lauderdale is the better field for Port Everglades sailings, Las Olas and most of Broward, and often the cheaper flight. Palm Beach is genuinely closer for Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Jupiter, which are an hour and a half from Miami. Choose by destination rather than by which name you recognise.

Yes. South Florida's expressways are all-electronic with no cash option, and the Dolphin, the Turnpike, the Airport Expressway and the rest are charged to the vehicle. On a RYDES booking those charges are inside the price quoted at booking along with airport access fees. On most runs here the tolled route is significantly faster, so the operator takes it as a matter of course.
