Book your secure MIA or FLL transfer in Miami
Miami’s three principal airports each present distinct transfer logistics for business and HNWI travellers. Miami International Airport (MIA), 11km west of Brickell, is the primary hub for Latin American and international connections. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), 45km north, is increasingly used for Miami-bound arrivals on transatlantic and low-cost routes. Opa-locka Executive Airport serves private and business aviation with FBO facilities operated by Atlantic Aviation and Signature Flight Support.
Transfer risk in Miami at medium level is primarily logistical: I-95 and SR-836 peak-hour congestion can materially extend journey times, and private aviation arrivals require careful FBO coordination to maintain a smooth ramp-to-vehicle transition. All security personnel hold applicable Florida Statutes Chapter 493 licences administered by the Florida Division of Licensing.

Operational detail for Miami
Miami International Airport (MIA) Transfers
Miami International Airport sits 11km west of Brickell and the downtown core, with the I-95 and SR-836 Dolphin Expressway as the principal transfer routes. MIA handles a high volume of international and domestic traffic, with South America and Latin America connections making it one of the busiest international hubs in the United States. Our team collects clients inside the arrivals hall, escorts them to a pre-positioned vehicle in the designated meet area, and plans the route to Brickell, South Beach, Coral Gables, or other Miami destinations based on current traffic conditions on the I-95 and SR-836.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) Transfers
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport sits 45km north of Miami's Brickell district and is increasingly used by Miami-bound visitors, particularly those on low-cost carriers and transatlantic routes where FLL offers competitive scheduling. Transfer from FLL to central Miami typically routes via the I-95 southbound, with journey times varying significantly between 35 and 90 minutes depending on time of day and incidents. Our operations controller monitors the I-95 corridor and advises on SR-826 or the Florida Turnpike as alternatives during peak congestion periods.
Opa-locka Executive Airport: Private Aviation Support
Opa-locka Executive Airport serves a substantial share of Miami's private and business aviation traffic, with Atlantic Aviation and Signature Flight Support operating fixed-base operator facilities for UHNWI and corporate arrivals. Our team is familiar with FBO collection protocols at Opa-locka, coordinating directly with the handling agent to position the vehicle airside or at the FBO lounge as appropriate. Private aviation clients benefit from a smooth ramp-to-vehicle transition without exposure to public terminal areas.
Florida Licensing: Class D and Class G Requirements
Security personnel operating in Florida are regulated under Florida Statutes Chapter 493, administered by the Florida Division of Licensing. A Class D licence is required for unarmed security officers; a Class G licence is required for armed personnel. All our Miami security drivers and accompanying protection officers hold the applicable Florida Division of Licensing credentials. Clients on corporate duty-of-care programmes receive driver credential documentation as part of the pre-transfer confirmation.
I-95 and SR-836 Route Intelligence
Miami-Dade traffic on the I-95 and SR-836 Dolphin Expressway creates significant transfer delays during morning and evening peak periods. Our operations controller monitors Florida Department of Transportation real-time traffic data and applies route adjustments using the SR-826 Palmetto Expressway, the Florida Turnpike, or surface streets through Coral Way and Brickell Avenue as conditions dictate. Journey time estimates are provided to clients at departure and updated en route where conditions change materially.
HNWI and Corporate Transfer Protocols
Miami's position as a HNWI residential and business destination means that many clients require discreet, consistent service rather than a visible security posture. Our vehicles are unbranded executive saloons and SUVs appropriate to the Miami business environment. Transfer teams dress to a professional business standard. For clients whose threat assessment warrants it, close protection officers can accompany the transfer in a low-profile capacity. All transfer team members are briefed on the client's profile and any specific requirements before collection.
