Miami International Airport, also known as MIA and historically Wilcox Field, is the primary airport serving the South Florida metropolitan area, United States.
There is a distance of 16km between the airport and the center of Miami, if there are no delays, and it takes about 25 minutes by car. However, there are many other transportation options. Next, we leave you a list with the best ways to make the transfer to the Miami airport this 2023.
The 150 Beach Express is the cheapest and fastest transportation if your destination is Miami Beach. It is a direct bus, that is, it does not stop until it reaches Miami Beach. There are only two stops along 41st Street at Alton Road and Sheridan Ave, and then the bus makes a bunch of local stops going south all the way to South Beach and then north again through Mid-Beach before returning to the airport. This bus leaves every 30 minutes, and is operational from 6:00 a.m. to 11:40 p.m. The stop is located at number 10 of the Miami Airport Bus Terminal (you will need to take the MIA Mover from the arrivals terminal). The journey takes about 60 minutes and the cost is $2.65. To use public transportation in Miami you will need an EASY Card or EASY ticket, which you can get at the vending machines located in the station. You will also find staff who will help you if you have questions or do not know how to buy your ticket. Here you can consult a map with the route. The Miami Beach Airport Express bus 150 is, without a doubt, the best way to get from the airport to South Beach while saving money.
This is one of the fastest and most comfortable options for transferring to the airport. It is very easy to get a driver and it is cheaper than a taxi. For pick-ups at the airport, at the moment there is no designated space, so once you have your luggage you must go outside the premises to request an Uber or Lyft. All airport pickups are subject to a $2 surcharge. Transportation between the airport and a hotel located in Miami Beach has an approximate cost of $25-$30 (if you go to Downtown the price is lower). You can also use this service to make the journey in reverse, that is, from Miami to the Airport. In this case, the driver will leave you at the same departure gate of the terminal where your airline is located. The journey takes approximately 30 minutes (depending on traffic and your destination).
In the same Miami airport you will find a lot of car rental companies. If, in addition to visiting the city, you are going to visit the surroundings, it is a very good idea to pick up the car directly at the airport. To do this, you must go to the MIA Rental Car Center using the MIA Mover, which is like a subway that connects various parts of the airport. The car rental center is located on the 3rd level between the Dolphin and Flamingo garages. It takes between 15 and 30 minutes to make the journey from the Airport to the city, but it can take longer if there is a lot of traffic. The cost of the rental is very variable, between 20 and 120 dollars a day, but it will depend on the model and the car you choose.
Metrorail is Miami’s subway system. However, it is not a very convenient option for most tourists, since the subway does not connect directly to South Beach. However, if you go to Downtown, Coconut Grove or Brickell, it can be very interesting. To take the subway, as with the bus, you must go to the airport’s Intermodal Center using the MIA Mover service and there take the orange line. It costs $2.25. The Orange Line (orange line) operates from 5am to 2am and it takes about 30 minutes to get to Downtown.
The 110 Route J bus is a great option for getting to Mid Beach hotels. However, this bus does not go as far as South Beach, which is where most of the hotels are located. Here you can see the map of the route. The 110 is located at number 11 of the airport terminal. The service is operational from 4:29 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and the price is $2.25.
A taxi is definitely the easiest and most comfortable transportation option for getting around the Miami airport: you call one and it drops you off at your hotel. However, it is also the most expensive option of all. The journey has a fixed price of $35 and the time to complete the journey will depend on traffic. It usually takes 30-40 minutes to get to South Beach, it will be about 25 if you get off at Downtown and there are no traffic jams.
In the central station of the airport it is also possible to take a train, which in Miami is called Tri-Rail. To get to said station, you must take the MIA Mover. Tri-Rail connects the airport with Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. Its hours are from 4:15 a.m. to 10 p.m. and the rates are established according to the number of zones that you are going to visit.

The Metrobus is the bus system for the city of Miami. It extends from Miami Beach to the center of Miami (Downtown). It has a lot of buses that run various routes. Miami’s bus network connects with all public transportation systems, making it ideal for combining your trips. It is also a good option to get around at night, since the metrobus has several routes that operate 24 hours non-stop.
Metrorail is Miami’s elevated rail system. It travels a total of 22 miles crossing the city from north to south. It is composed of two lines (green and orange). The Metrorail stops at major tourist attractions such as Brickell, Coconut Grove, Vizcaya, and Downtown.
It is a very good transport option to travel long distances quickly since it can then be connected to the bus network.
The orange line connects the Miami International Airport with the center, very useful for transfers if you are arriving by plane.
These are buses that look like train cars that operate various routes in Miami Beach for free. It is one of the best ways to get around this area of Miami, since sometimes finding parking is difficult and expensive. The trolley service is totally free and works every 15 to 35 minutes (depending on the route). There are 4 main routes: South Beach Loop, Middle Beach Loop, Collins Express, and North Beach Loop. The most used is the South Beach line that has 3 different routes with several stops. The Citywide Free Trolley operates from 6 in the morning until 12 at night every day except Sunday when they start the tour at 8am.
The Metromover is an automated bus system that works in a loop and runs on rails. They actually look a lot like trams. The Metromover network has a route of approximately 5 miles and only runs through downtown Miami. The system is made up of three loops and 23 stations. It is a quick and easy way to get around the main neighborhoods of Downtown. Its greatest peculiarity is that you will not have to pay anything to get on the Metromover. It is, therefore, the cheapest way to move around the center, since it is totally free.
Miami has multiple places that you have to know. Here are some recommendations for you to enjoy:
South Beach, located between 1st and 25th streets in Miami Beach, is the most popular beach in Miami. Perhaps you have seen it more than once in a movie or television series, since it is located on Ocean Drive, one of the favorite settings for fictional stories developed in a beach setting. Ocean Drive is the liveliest street in Miami, so in South Beach you can enjoy the warm waters of the Caribbean and a great nightlife, where you can find the busiest restaurants, clubs and discos in Miami Beach, most of them with Cuban influence and caribbean
A park full of trees and green areas, with a beautiful location in front of the beach, where volleyball players, skaters, runners and other athletes meet to enjoy exercising in the open air. It is very popular with tourists, who can walk or bike along its paved paths before taking a dip in the turquoise waters of South Beach. Rest under the shade of its leafy palm trees or take a picture in front of the classic lifeguard booths.
Located at the southern tip of Key Biscayne (approximately a 45-minute drive from downtown Miami), Bill Baggs Beach is home to the famous Cape Florida Lighthouse, a structure that you can enter and learn about on a guided tour of its premises. . This place is ideal for tourists to practice swimming, surfing or fishing. The beach is quite a spectacle, since its blue and crystalline waters will allow you to visualize the varied marine flora and fauna.
Located north of Miami Beach, between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, this is an ideal beach to visit with friends. Of course, if you plan to go to this beach, you should take into account that it is the only legally nudist beach in Miami, but only at its northern end, where wearing a bathing suit is not an option. Haulover Beach stands out for the beauty of its blue waters and fine, soft sand. Enjoy the freedom of sunbathing, surfing, and other outdoor sports activities like tennis, golf, and even kite flying! Yes, fly kites. This beach even has spaces where kite-making workshops are held, where you can then fly your own creation. So if you visit Haulover Beach, don’t forget to live this experience.
The best option to visit with the whole family, since children will be able to fully enjoy a day at sea. The Crandon Park beach in Key Biscayne is characterized by being not very crowded, because it is not so central and to access it, you must enter the park. Because of its shallow waters, you have to walk a lot to get to the deepest area, so it becomes a safer environment for children who are learning about the sea. But despite not being very visited, it has everything you need to make your visit comfortable: restaurants, bars, showers, bathrooms… Whatever you need to spend an incredible day at the beach!
