Davie Airport Transportation & Bus Rental Service

FLL is the closest major airport to Davie — roughly 8 miles north via I-595 or University Drive (SR 817) — and it handled more than 35 million passengers in 2024, according to the official FLL 2024 annual report. That volume means the terminal loop and the rental car center on Rental Car Road can back up fast, especially on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings when the Broward commuter crowd converges. Rather than sorting your group into separate rideshares that arrive at different terminals at different times, a charter bus or minibus rental keeps everyone on one arrival plan.

FLL operates four terminals — Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4 — each with its own curbside pickup zone on the lower level. Confirm your terminal with your airline before travel day, and check the FLL ground transportation page for current bus and motorcoach staging areas. For groups with heavy luggage or equipment cases, a charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays is the practical call — and a sprinter van works well for smaller groups of six to twelve who need a fast, direct transfer between Davie and the terminal.

For large charter buses, FLL requires lower-level loading because the upper Departures roadway is restricted to vehicles under 17 tons; the terminal curb is for “active loading and unloading purposes only,” not waiting. Buses cannot stage at the terminals or on airport roadways, so the official FLL ground transportation handbook directs them to the designated charter-bus area in the northwest Airport Perimeter Road staging lot near the Gate 300 entrance until the group is assembled and ready.

Davie's University Drive and I-595 corridor is home to a cluster of extended-stay hotels and conference-adjacent properties — Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale SW/Miramar (14700 Hotel Rd, Miramar, FL 33027), Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale/Plantation, and several others within a short drive of the Davie town center. When your company is flying in a team for a training week or flying one out after a regional summit, a dedicated shuttle bus between the hotel and FLL is the move that keeps the itinerary tight.

Instead of expensing a fleet of rideshares that arrive at staggered times and charge surge rates during morning departure rushes, a minibus or charter bus rental runs on your schedule — one pickup window, one drop-off, one flat rate your accounting team can actually work with. For recurring corporate shuttle needs between Davie-area hotels and FLL, call 754-218-8430 and a live agent can put together a custom package around your travel calendar.

Not every group flies through FLL. Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is about 45 miles north of Davie via the Florida Turnpike, and it's a frequent choice for groups traveling from the northern end of the metro or connecting to destinations that route better through West Palm Beach. The drive up the Turnpike is straightforward outside of rush hour, but it's long enough that a comfortable charter bus with reclining seats, onboard WiFi, and power outlets makes a real difference compared to a cramped carpool.

PBI's ground transportation page covers charter bus staging and curbside pickup protocols — confirm your terminal and pickup zone with your transportation company before travel day, since PBI has a single terminal with separate concourses and the curbside layout differs from FLL. For groups of 12 or fewer, a sprinter van handles the Turnpike run efficiently and keeps costs down. For larger groups with checked bags and equipment, a full-size coach with undercarriage luggage bays is the right call.

Davie sits right in the heart of Broward County, which means your group might be flying into FLL just a few miles up University Drive, or connecting through MIA down the Turnpike, or even catching a flight out of Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) to the north.
