Fixed prices per vehicle
Where are you going from Miami Airport?
MIA sits west of the city, so almost everything is a twenty to forty minute drive. Fixed rates per vehicle, not per person.

Arrival instructions, step by step
MIA is big. The one thing to get right is that everything happens on Level 1, and Level 1 is arrivals.
Three terminals, six concourses
MIA is one continuous building divided into North, Central and South terminals and lettered concourses D through J. What matters is your concourse letter, not the terminal name.

Questions and answers
What travellers ask us most about this airport.
Safety first
What to watch for at Miami Airport
A safe, heavily policed airport. The problems here are about money and about which level you are standing on.
Unlicensed drivers inside the terminal
Nobody licensed solicits rides inside a US airport terminal. Anyone offering you a ride at baggage claim is operating illegally.
Wrong level, wrong meeting
Departures is Level 2, arrivals and ground transportation are Level 1. Most missed pickups at MIA are a level problem, not a driver problem.
Surge pricing on the apps
MIA is one of the worst airports in the country for surge. A prepaid transfer costs what it said in January, whatever is happening outside.
Verify photo and plate
Driver name, photo and plate are in MyTrip before you land.
Tolls are everywhere
South Florida expressways are all-electronic toll. Your transfer includes them; a rental car will bill them to you weeks later with a fee on top.

Tips from our team in Florida
What travellers ask us about getting out of MIA.
eTransfers team in FloridaServing Miami since 2019 Verified by our team at MIA
Going to a cruise
PortMiami is twenty minutes from the airport and Port Everglades about forty. Cruise lines sell their own transfer; it costs per person and leaves when the bus is full.
Traffic is the whole story
The drive to South Beach is twenty-five minutes at 11 a.m. and an hour at 6 p.m. Build it into your plans, not into your hope.
The Metrorail
From Miami Central Station, reached by the free MIA Mover, the Metrorail runs to downtown and Brickell. It is cheap and useful without luggage; with three cases it is not.
Hurricane season
June to November. Miami handles storms well, but flight schedules do not; travel insurance is worth it in September.
Renting a car
The Rental Car Center is a MIA Mover ride away from the terminals. Between that, the counter lineup and the tolls, the first ninety minutes of your vacation are gone.

“I traveled with my wife to Orlando as an anniversary gift, so I wanted everything to be perfect. I have hired eTransfers for destinations such as Miami and even Mexico. I can say the service was better this time than the previous ones. Always Goats in Orlando Airport Shuttles”

“We had two trips with Martin. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and comfort of the SUV we traveled in. I chose the deluxe service and am happy to say that they deliver what they promise. They even offered us a disinfection kit when we got in the car.”

Miami Airport transfer questions
Where exactly do we meet?
On Level 1, the ground transportation level of your concourse. Every terminal at MIA has three levels and Level 1 is arrivals.
I am arriving at Concourse J. Is that different?
Slightly. Customs at the South Terminal exits on an upper level; take the elevator down to Level 1 and you are in the right place.
Do you go to PortMiami and Port Everglades?
Yes, both. PortMiami is about twenty minutes and Port Everglades about forty, at a fixed price with tolls included.
Are tolls included?
Yes. South Florida runs all-electronic tolling and they are already in your price.
How far is Fort Lauderdale?
About forty-five minutes without traffic. Longer at rush hour, which in South Florida is most of the afternoon.
Is the price the same at night?
Yes. It is the price you booked, with no surge, no night surcharge and no airport fee on top.
