Transportation
Miami International Airport is connected to the entire metropolitan area through the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC), a central transportation hub located directly across from the airport. Passengers can reach it via the MIA Mover, a free automated train operating 24 hours a day, boarding on the third level of the terminal between the Dolphin and Flamingo parking garages.
Private and Shared Transfers
For travelers seeking greater convenience, the most recommended option is to book an airport transfer online in advance. This service guarantees a fixed price and a driver waiting upon arrival, avoiding delays and fare negotiations. A standard 3-passenger vehicle typically costs around USD 125.00, while larger vehicles for 4, 6, or 14 passengers are also available. Reservations must be made at least 12 hours in advance.
