Types of Buses We Offer for Airport Transportation in Sunrise
Why Trust Charter Bus Sunrise With Your Sunrise Airport Transportation?
With more than 15 years of experience and thousands of trips completed across Broward County and the rest of South Florida, Charter Bus Sunrise has the operational depth most rideshare-style services simply cannot match. Our team specializes in airport shuttle services at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Miami International Airport (MIA), and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), so your driver knows exactly which terminal zone, commercial lane, and ground transportation desk to use before your group even clears baggage claim.
Reservation specialists are available 24/7/365 — including red-eye arrivals, weather delays, and last-minute cruise group additions — and every quote is all-inclusive. That means no additional fuel surcharges. Whether your itinerary is a single one-way airport drop or a multi-stop shuttle loop across hotels in Sunrise, Plantation, and Weston, we build the route around your headcount and flight times.
Bus Options Perfect for Any Airport Transportation Need in Sunrise
Group size, luggage volume, and trip length all drive which vehicle makes the most sense for your Sunrise airport transfer. For executive arrivals at PBI, a 14-passenger sprinter van offers leather seating, climate control, and quick maneuverability through the commercial vehicle lanes at the main terminal. For mid-size wedding parties flying in for a Sawgrass Country Club ceremony, an 18- to 25-passenger minibus rental handles the headcount with room for garment bags and gift boxes in overhead bins.
For larger groups — convention attendees, cruise charters, school field trips returning from out-of-state tournaments — book a 56-passenger motorcoach with 500–600 cubic feet of undercarriage luggage storage. Each rider gets the equivalent of one large checked bag and one carry-on stored on board. Premium amenities can include onboard restrooms, WiFi, reclining seats, 110V power outlets, USB ports, climate control, overhead parcel racks, and TV monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players. ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts and securements are available at no extra charge when you request them in advance.
Enjoy the Best Sunrise Airport Shuttle Pricing
Sunrise airport shuttle pricing ranges from $150–$400 per hour or $900–$2,800+ per day, depending on bus size, distance to the airport, time of year, and total service hours. A 14-passenger sprinter van for a one-way transfer between a Sunrise hotel block and FLL typically lands at the lower end, while a multi-day group needing a 56-passenger motorcoach for repeated MIA cruise transfers and post-cruise hotel returns falls toward the upper end.
The biggest cost drivers are mileage, season, and how many service hours you book. Peak season in South Florida runs from December through April, with the highest demand around the Boat Show in late October, the Fort Lauderdale Air Show in May, and the entire Florida Panthers postseason at Amerant Bank Arena. Every quote we provide is all-inclusive — bus, dedicated driver, and fuel baked in. Check our charter bus pricing guide for a full breakdown before you call.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) Pickups and Drop-offs
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (320 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) sits roughly 12 miles east of Sunrise via I-595, making it the closest major commercial airport for most local groups. FLL has four terminals — Terminal 1 (Spirit, Southwest), Terminal 2 (Delta, Air Canada), Terminal 3 (JetBlue, United), and Terminal 4 (American, international arrivals) — and charter bus pickups happen on the Lower Level (Arrivals) at the designated commercial vehicle zones outside each terminal's baggage claim. Curbside waiting is not permitted at FLL, so the standard process is for your driver to stage at the airport's commercial holding lot and pull forward once your group is together with luggage in hand.
For groups across multiple flights, designate one coordinator to monitor arrivals and contact the driver when the last passenger has cleared baggage claim. From FLL, your Sunrise bus driver can run direct transfers to area hotels along Sawgrass Mills Circle, Sunrise Boulevard, or up to the Sawgrass Lakes business corridor in under 25 minutes outside of rush hour.
Miami International Airport (MIA) Transfers from Sunrise
Miami International Airport (2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33142) is roughly 30 miles south of Sunrise via I-75 and the Florida Turnpike, and it is the most common second-choice airport for international arrivals, cruise embarkations, and South American travel. Charter bus pickups at MIA use the Arrivals Level (Level 1) commercial vehicle curbs at designated terminal doors, including doors 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 15, 20, 23, and 28, depending on which concourse your flight arrives at. The Ground Transportation Information Counter on Level 1 can help your group coordinator locate the right curb if you are unsure.
For cruise groups boarding at PortMiami after an MIA arrival, a private bus is dramatically simpler than juggling luggage across the MIA Mover, Metrorail, and a final rideshare to Dodge Island. Charter Bus Sunrise frequently runs this exact route — FLL or MIA arrival, hotel pre-night in Sunrise or downtown Fort Lauderdale, then a coordinated drop at the correct PortMiami cruise terminal. If your group plans to spend time exploring before sailing, our Miami charter bus rentals can extend the same itinerary for sightseeing in Wynwood, Brickell, or South Beach.
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) Group Shuttles
Palm Beach International Airport (1000 James L. Turnage Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33415) sits about 45 miles north of Sunrise via I-95 or the Florida Turnpike, and it is the preferred airport for executive groups, equestrian visitors heading to Wellington, and snowbirds with second homes north of Boca Raton. PBI's single main terminal makes group coordination simpler than FLL or MIA — charter buses pick up at the commercial vehicle zone on the lower-level arrivals curb directly outside baggage claim, with the Ground Transportation desk available for any group coordinator who needs help directing the driver to a specific door.
For corporate groups flying into PBI for meetings in Sunrise or West Broward, a private charter handles the trip down I-95 in roughly an hour — faster than coordinating four separate executive sedans through Palm Beach County rush hour. Onboard WiFi and power outlets let your team prep slides or run calls before the day's first meeting. We coordinate corporate transportation for trade shows, off-site retreats, and client visits throughout South Florida.
Port Everglades Cruise Transfers from Sunrise
One of the most common Sunrise airport itineraries pairs an FLL arrival with a same-day Port Everglades (1850 Eller Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) cruise embarkation. Port Everglades is just 4 miles south of FLL — a 10- to 15-minute drive — and it serves Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Holland America, and Norwegian, with up to a dozen ships in port on peak Saturdays and Sundays. Port Everglades parking can run $22 per day for standard passenger vehicles and $44 per day for oversized vehicles at the South Port garages, which makes a single coordinated bus transfer the obvious move for any group of 8 or more on a 7-night cruise.
Charter bus drop-offs use the designated terminal curb for your specific ship — Terminals 2, 4, 18, 19, 21, 25, 26, 29, or the new Terminal 1 expansion. Tell your reservation specialist your sailing date, ship, and pier number when you book so the driver can route directly to the correct terminal. On the return, your bus meets the group curbside after debarkation and runs back to FLL, MIA, or a Sunrise hotel block on one all-inclusive quote.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sunrise Airport Transportation
Which airport is closest to Sunrise, Florida?
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is the closest major commercial airport to Sunrise, located roughly 12 miles east via I-595. Drive time runs 18–25 minutes outside of rush hour. Miami International (MIA) is about 30 miles south, and Palm Beach International (PBI) is about 45 miles north.
Where do charter buses pick up at FLL?
Charter buses pick up on the Lower Level (Arrivals) at the designated commercial vehicle zone outside each of FLL's four terminal baggage claim areas. Curbside waiting is not permitted, so your driver stages at the airport commercial holding lot and pulls to the curb once your full group has luggage in hand and the coordinator calls the bus forward.
Can a charter bus handle airport luggage for a large group?
Yes. A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach offers 500–600 cubic feet of undercarriage luggage storage spread across multiple bays, which handles roughly one large checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin hold smaller personal items. Sprinter vans and minibuses store luggage in the rear bay or behind the last row of seats.
How far in advance should I book my Sunrise airport shuttle?
Book at least 3 to 6 months in advance for the best vehicle selection and pricing, especially for trips during peak season (December–April), Florida Panthers playoff weekends, Boat Show week, and major cruise embarkation Saturdays. Last-minute bookings can usually be accommodated through our 24/7/365 reservation team, but availability narrows quickly during high-demand windows.
