Fort Lauderdale at a Glance
About Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale, located in Broward County approximately 30 miles north of Miami, represents a distinct destination from Miami proper while remaining easily accessible for travelers using Miami International Airport. Known as the "Venice of America" for its extensive canal system with over 165 miles of waterways, Fort Lauderdale combines beautiful Atlantic beaches, a walkable downtown Riverwalk area, the upscale Las Olas Boulevard shopping and dining district, and one of the world's largest yachting centers at Port Everglades.
Many travelers find themselves needing Fort Lauderdale transportation from Miami Airport for several common scenarios: cruise passengers embarking from Port Everglades (one of the world's busiest cruise ports), business travelers attending conferences at the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center or meetings in the city's downtown business district, beach vacationers staying at Fort Lauderdale Beach hotels, and visitors to family or friends in Broward County's extensive residential communities.
Flight Delayed? We've Got You Covered
Our advanced flight tracking system monitors all Miami Airport arrivals in real-time. If your flight is delayed, your driver is automatically notified and adjusts their arrival time. Plus, you get 30-60 minutes of complimentary waiting time at no extra charge.
Miami Airport to Fort Lauderdale Taxi Service
Transportation from Miami International Airport to Fort Lauderdale covers approximately 30-35 miles depending on your specific destination within the city, typically requiring 35-50 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Our professional taxi service provides flat-rate pricing starting at $149 for sedan service, reflecting the longer distance and extended travel time for this inter-county route that crosses from Miami-Dade into Broward County.
The route from MIA to Fort Lauderdale follows Interstate 95 North, the primary highway corridor connecting Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Your driver will exit the airport and navigate to I-95 North, then travel through northern Miami-Dade County and into Broward County, exiting at the appropriate location for your Fort Lauderdale destination—Commercial Boulevard for Fort Lauderdale Beach hotels, Broward Boulevard for downtown Riverwalk area, I-595 East for Port Everglades cruise terminals, or specific exits for other addresses.
Fort Lauderdale Highlights & Landmarks
Discover Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale Beach stretches for 7 miles of wide, clean Atlantic coastline with a wave-shaped promenade perfect for walking, jogging, or rollerblading while enjoying ocean views. The beachfront features a mix of luxury hotels (W Fort Lauderdale, Ritz-Carlton), casual beach bars, and family-friendly restaurants. The beach atmosphere tends more relaxed and family-oriented compared to South Beach's party scene.
Las Olas Boulevard serves as Fort Lauderdale's premier shopping, dining, and entertainment district. This mile-long street connects downtown to the beach, lined with boutiques, art galleries, sidewalk cafes, and upscale restaurants. The pedestrian-friendly atmosphere and mix of national retailers and local businesses create a vibrant street life especially on weekend evenings.

Getting Around Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale's beach area and Las Olas Boulevard are both walkable districts where you can explore on foot once you arrive. The downtown Riverwalk area offers pleasant pedestrian access along the New River. However, Fort Lauderdale's overall layout is more car-dependent than dense urban areas like South Beach.
The Sun Trolley system provides free transit along the beach and connecting downtown to Las Olas, operating daily though with limited frequency. For airport transfers and longer-distance travel, our taxi service provides reliable, comfortable transportation.

Local Tips for Visiting Fort Lauderdale
Insider Tips
If your primary destination is Fort Lauderdale and you have flexibility in airport selection, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) sits much closer (typically 10-20 minutes to Fort Lauderdale Beach versus 35-50 from MIA). However, MIA often offers better flight availability and international connections, making our transfer service valuable for maximizing flight options.
For cruise passengers, Port Everglades is actually slightly closer to MIA than Fort Lauderdale Beach (25-30 minutes), making Miami's airport convenient for Fort Lauderdale cruise departures.
