A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Streamlined Transfers to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL)

Located just about 15 minutes east of Plantation via I-595, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (100 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) is the primary gateway for most of our local clients. Despite its proximity, traffic congestion during peak hours and the complex layout of the terminals can make group coordination difficult without a solid plan. Charter Bus Rental Company Plantation simplifies this process entirely. When you book a private charter bus, you avoid the exorbitant costs of long-term parking and the hassle of circling the terminals. Your driver will drop your group off right at the designated departure level for your specific airline, ensuring you have plenty of time to check bags and clear security.

For arrivals, FLL has specific regulations regarding commercial vehicle pickups. Your driver will monitor your flight's arrival time to adjust for any delays. Once your group has gathered their luggage at baggage claim on the lower level, your bus will be waiting at the designated commercial transportation zones located between the terminals or at specific curbside locations depending on the airport's current traffic flow. Whether you are arriving at Terminal 1 to catch a Southwest flight or landing internationally at Terminal 4, drivers know exactly where to stage to ensure a quick and efficient pickup. With ample undercarriage storage for suitcases and overhead bins for carry-ons, your group can stretch out in the climate-controlled cabin and enjoy the short ride back to Plantation hotels like the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale West Hotel (1230 S Pine Island Rd, Plantation, FL 33324).

International Arrivals and Departures at Miami International Airport (MIA)

For groups traveling internationally or looking for specific carriers, Miami International Airport (2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33126) is a frequent destination. Located approximately 30 to 45 minutes south of Plantation, MIA is one of the busiest airports in the world. Navigating the sprawling complex and the heavy traffic on the Florida Turnpike or I-95 can be overwhelming for out-of-town visitors. Charter Bus Rental Company Plantation provides a sanctuary of calm amidst the chaos. We offer direct, point-to-point service from Plantation to MIA, allowing your group to relax, charge their devices, and prepare for their trip while a driver handles the aggressive Miami traffic.

Pickup procedures at MIA can be strict, but our experienced team knows the drill. We will coordinate with your group leader to meet at the appropriate curbside zone on the arrivals level. For very large groups arriving with significant luggage, we can arrange for the bus to stage in the charter bus holding lot until you are ready, ensuring the vehicle pulls up just as you exit the terminal. This level of coordination is vital at MIA to avoid penalties and delays. Instead of splitting your group into five or six different rideshare vehicles and hoping everyone arrives at the hotel at the same time, a single motorcoach keeps your headcount intact and your itinerary on track. Whether you are heading to a cruise at PortMiami or a conference in Downtown Plantation, we bridge the gap between Miami and Broward County seamlessly.

Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) Shuttle Services

For those looking to avoid the hustle and bustle of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach International Airport (1000 James L Turnage Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33406) offers a more relaxed alternative, located roughly 45 to 50 minutes north of Plantation. PBI is a favorite for executive travelers and golfers visiting the South Florida area. Charter Bus Rental Company Plantation offers reliable shuttle services to PBI for groups who prefer this user-friendly airport. The drive up the Florida Turnpike or I-95 is smooth and comfortable in one of our modern charter buses.

PBI is known for its convenience, and our bus rental services match that philosophy. The commercial vehicle lanes at PBI are less congested than those further south, allowing for very quick loading and unloading of passengers. If your group is staying at the Sheraton Suites Fort Lauderdale Plantation (311 N University Dr, Plantation, FL 33324) but found better flight deals flying into West Palm Beach, we can provide the connecting link. You can enjoy the scenic drive down the coast while utilizing onboard WiFi to catch up on emails or simply resting in reclining seats after your flight. We ensure that even if you land an hour away, your arrival in Plantation feels effortless.

Private Aviation and Executive Shuttles at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE)

Business travel is a major component of the Plantation economy, and many of our corporate clients utilize private aviation to maximize efficiency. Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (6000 NW 21st Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309) is located just minutes north of Plantation and serves as a premier general aviation hub. Charter Bus Rental Company Plantation is well-versed in the specific protocols required for tarmac access or FBO (Fixed Base Operator) pickups at facilities like Sheltair or Banyan Air Service. We understand that time is money for executive groups, and punctuality is non-negotiable.

For these transfers, we often recommend our sleek executive minibuses or sprinter vans, which offer a high level of luxury suitable for VIPs. Your driver will be waiting on-site before your aircraft touches down, ready to assist with luggage and transport your team directly to their meetings at Plantation Midtown or their accommodations. We handle the security clearances and coordination with ground crews so your executives can transition from the plane to the vehicle without breaking stride. Whether it is a board of directors meeting or a high-profile client visit, our executive airport shuttle services reflect the professionalism of your organization.

Corporate Airport Transportation for Plantation Businesses

Plantation is home to several large corporate headquarters and bustling business districts, such as the Plantation Midtown district and the area surrounding the Broward Mall. When your company is hosting a large conference, training seminar, or quarterly review, getting your team to and from the airport efficiently is critical. Charter Bus Rental Company Plantation offers dedicated corporate airport shuttles that run on your schedule, not the other way around. We can organize a manifest of arrivals, grouping employees arriving at similar times onto shuttles to maximize budget and efficiency.

Imagine your team arriving at FLL or MIA and stepping immediately onto a climate-controlled bus equipped with power outlets and WiFi. They can make final adjustments to presentations, check emails, or simply decompress before a big meeting at the Jacaranda Golf Club (9200 W Broward Blvd, Plantation, FL 33324) or a corporate office on University Drive. We can also set up recurring shuttle routes for long-term projects, ensuring your visiting consultants or employees have reliable daily transportation between their hotels and the office. By consolidating your travel needs with us, you simplify expense reporting and ensure duty of care for your employees.

Wedding and Event Airport Shuttles for Out-of-Town Guests

Your wedding day should be magical, not a logistical nightmare involving lost relatives and delayed flights. If you are getting married at a beautiful venue like the Jacaranda Country Club or hosting a reception at a private estate in Plantation, you likely have guests flying in from all over the country. Charter Bus Rental Company Plantation offers comprehensive wedding shuttle packages that include airport pickups. We can act as the first point of contact for your guests, greeting them at the airport and whisking them away to their hotels.

This service is particularly helpful for guests who are unfamiliar with South Florida. Instead of navigating rental car counters or confusing highway interchanges, they can start the celebration early on the bus. You can even provide us with a playlist to get them in the party mood the moment they board! We can shuttle guests from FLL to popular room blocks at hotels like the Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Plantation (130 N University Dr, Plantation, FL 33324). By providing airport transportation, you are giving your guests a VIP experience and ensuring that everyone arrives relaxed and on time for your rehearsal dinner and ceremony.

Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Airport Transfer

Selecting the right bus is crucial for airport transfers because luggage capacity is often the deciding factor. At Charter Bus Rental Company Plantation, we help you assess your needs to ensure a comfortable fit. For smaller groups of 10 to 14 passengers with minimal luggage, a Sprinter van might be appropriate. However, for groups of 20 to 30 people with full-sized suitcases and carry-ons, we highly recommend upgrading to a minibus or a mid-sized coach. These vehicles often have dedicated rear luggage compartments or overhead bins.

For large groups, such as school bands, sports teams, or large tour groups, our 56-passenger full-size charter buses are the gold standard. These motorcoaches feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate a suitcase and carry-on for every passenger, along with equipment bags or musical instruments. Inside, passengers enjoy maximum legroom, footrests, and often onboard restrooms, which is a great convenience if you are traveling further to MIA or PBI. When you call to book, be sure to give us an accurate count of passengers and an estimate of luggage volume so we can match you with the perfect vehicle. We never want you to have to put a suitcase in an empty seat; we want you to ride in total comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plantation Airport Transportation

How far in advance should I book my airport shuttle?

We recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For peak travel seasons in South Florida (winter and spring break), booking 3 to 6 months in advance is advisable to ensure availability of your preferred vehicle size. However, we understand that last-minute travel happens, and our 24/7 team will always do our best to accommodate short-notice requests.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We actively monitor flight statuses for all airport pickups. When you book, we ask for your flight number so we can track your arrival in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we adjust the driver's schedule accordingly. You will also have the driver's direct contact information to communicate any major changes or issues once you land. We build in a grace period for domestic and international arrivals to allow for deplaning and baggage claim.

Where will the bus pick us up at FLL or MIA?

Due to security regulations and airport layouts, large motorcoaches and minibuses cannot always pick up at the standard passenger curbside lanes used by private cars. Both FLL and MIA have designated commercial vehicle zones or charter bus holding lots. Your driver will communicate with your group leader via phone or text upon landing to direct you to the specific door or zone where the bus will be waiting. We ensure the walk is as short as possible.

Can the bus accommodate extra large luggage or equipment?

Yes, but you must reserve the correct vehicle type. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches have spacious undercarriage storage bays perfect for large suitcases, golf clubs, musical instruments, or sports gear. Minibuses have more limited storage, rear compartments. If you have excessive luggage, please inform our reservation specialist at the time of booking so we can recommend a bus with sufficient cargo capacity for your group.

Is the cost of the rental per person or per bus?

When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Plantation, the cost is for the entire vehicle, not per person. This often makes it a very cost-effective option for large groups compared to buying individual shuttle tickets or paying for multiple rideshares.
