A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Navigating Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL)
Located just about 12 miles east of Sunrise, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (100 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) is the primary hub for travelers visiting our area. Because of its proximity, FLL is the most convenient option for groups staying in Sunrise, offering a quick 20-minute drive down I-595 West. However, FLL is also one of the fastest-growing airports in the country, which means the pickup and drop-off zones can get incredibly congested, especially during peak tourist seasons and cruise ship turnaround days. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Sunrise, you bypass the chaos of hailing multiple rideshares or waiting for hotel shuttles that run on a fixed loop.
For drop-offs at FLL, your charter bus driver will take you directly to the departure level of your specific terminal—whether you are flying Southwest in Terminal 1 or JetBlue in Terminal 3. We ensure ample time for unloading luggage from the undercarriage bays so your group isn't rushed. For pickups, FLL has specific designated zones for commercial vehicles on the lower level (Arrivals). The drivers are well-versed in the airport’s commercial lane protocols. We will track your flight status to adjust for any delays, ensuring that when you step out of baggage claim into the humid Florida air, your air-conditioned bus is ready to receive you. This seamless connection is vital for keeping your group’s morale high after a long flight.
Mastering Miami International Airport (MIA) Transfers
While FLL is closer, many international travelers and large groups choose Miami International Airport (2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33126) for its extensive flight options and global connections. Located approximately 35 miles south of Sunrise, the transfer from MIA can take anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour depending on traffic on the Palmetto Expressway and I-75. This is where the comfort of a Charter Bus Rental Company Sunrise vehicle becomes indispensable. Instead of your group stressing over the notorious Miami traffic in separate rental cars, everyone can relax in reclining seats, utilize onboard WiFi, and recharge their devices.
MIA is a massive complex, and navigating its pickup zones can be confusing for first-time visitors. Charter buses typically pick up on the ground level, but specific zones are assigned based on the terminal. When you book with us, we provide clear instructions on where to meet your driver. We handle the logistics of the Dolphin Expressway tolls and the complex interchange at the Golden Glades so you don’t have to. Whether you are a sports team heading to a tournament in Sunrise or a corporate group attending a seminar, a private shuttle from MIA ensures that the entire group arrives at your Sunrise hotel or venue together, refreshed, and ready for the events ahead. We take the headache out of the long haul from Miami.
Stress-Free Travel via Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)
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 fantastic, lower-stress alternative. Located about 45 to 50 miles north of Sunrise via the Florida Turnpike or I-95, PBI is often favored by executive groups, golf outings, and travelers who prioritize a calmer arrival experience. Although it is a bit further away, the drive is often smoother, and the airport itself is easier to navigate. Charter Bus Rental Company Sunrise frequently services groups choosing PBI for this very reason.
The drivers know timing the drive from West Palm Beach down to Sunrise. We can arrange for a luxurious sprinter van for smaller executive groups or a full-sized motorcoach for large wedding parties flying in from the north. Since the ride is roughly an hour, our buses provide the perfect environment to unwind. Guests can use the onboard PA system to make announcements about the weekend's itinerary or simply enjoy the view of the South Florida landscape. We handle all toll payments on the Florida Turnpike, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted ride straight to your destination in Sunrise, such as the DoubleTree by Hilton or the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale West.
Private Aviation: Executive Airport Services
Sunrise is a hub for business, centered around the Sawgrass International Corporate Park, and many of our clients prefer the privacy and efficiency of private aviation. For these VIP groups, we offer specialized shuttle services to and from nearby general aviation airports such as Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) (6000 NW 21st Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309) or North Perry Airport (HWO). These airports cater to private jets and charters, requiring a higher level of service and discretion. Charter Bus Rental Company Sunrise is experienced in tarmac-side protocols (where permitted) and FBO (Fixed Base Operator) pickups.
For executive teams, investors, or high-profile talent arriving in the area, we recommend our sleek executive minibuses or sprinter vans. These vehicles offer a more intimate, upscale atmosphere perfect for last-minute briefings or simply decompressing in privacy. Your driver will be waiting at the designated FBO—such as Sheltair or Banyan at FXE—ready to assist with luggage and provide a swift transfer to Sunrise. We understand that for private flyers, time is money. The drivers arrive early, know the quickest routes to the Sawgrass corporate center, and ensure a professional, polished experience that reflects well on your organization.
Connecting Sunrise Hotels, Malls, and Venues
Airport transportation isn't just about leaving the terminal; it's about getting to the specific destinations that make Sunrise unique. One of the most popular requests we handle is transferring groups from area airports directly to the world-famous Sawgrass Mills (12801 W Sunrise Blvd, Sunrise, FL 33323). As one of the largest outlet malls in the United States, it draws shoppers from all over the world. Groups traveling specifically for shopping often come with empty suitcases and leave with full ones! Our charter buses offer massive undercarriage storage bays, ensuring that all the luggage—and the new purchases—fit comfortably without crowding the passengers.
We also specialize in transfers to the Amerant Bank Arena (1 Panther Pkwy, Sunrise, FL 33323), home of the Florida Panthers and a major concert venue. If you are flying a group in for a game or a show, we can take you straight from the airport to your hotel to drop off bags, and then shuttle you to the arena. We service all the major hotels in the Sunrise area, including the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Sunrise - Sawgrass Mills (13400 W Sunrise Blvd, Sunrise, FL 33323) and the AC Hotel by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Sawgrass Mills/Sunrise. No matter where your itinerary takes you, we create a seamless link between the flight and the fun.
The Corporate Traveler Experience in Sunrise
Sunrise is a major economic engine for South Florida, hosting headquarters for major corporations like American Express, Cigna, and many others within the Sawgrass International Corporate Park. For corporate travel planners, reliability is non-negotiable. When you have a team of 50 employees flying in for a training seminar or a quarterly review, relying on individual reimbursement for taxis is inefficient and costly. Charter Bus Rental Company Sunrise provides a consolidated corporate travel solution that reflects professionalism and efficiency.
Our buses can be transformed into mobile offices. With available amenities like high-speed WiFi and individual power outlets at every seat, your team can stay productive from the moment they leave the airport tarmac until they reach the office. We can arrange recurring shuttle services for multi-day conferences, moving your team between the airport, the hotel, and the corporate park on a strict schedule. The drivers are dedicated to maintaining the schedule you set. We remove the stress of navigation so your team can focus on business. There is no pressure to book when you call for a quote, but we are confident that our corporate travel solutions will earn your business.
Amenities & Comfort for Florida Airport Transfers
The journey from the airport to your destination in Sunrise should be as comfortable as the flight itself—if not more so. Florida weather can be unpredictable, often characterized by intense heat and humidity. One of the biggest advantages of booking with Charter Bus Rental Company Sunrise is our guarantee of a climate-controlled environment. Our buses feature powerful air conditioning systems that keep the cabin cool and comfortable, a welcome relief after stepping out of a humid airport terminal. But comfort goes beyond just temperature.
Our fleet features plush, reclining seats with ample legroom, far superior to the cramped backseat of a rideshare vehicle. For longer transfers, such as those from MIA or PBI, or if you are heading straight to a sightseeing tour, having an onboard restroom on our full-sized coaches is a game-changer. We also prioritize luggage space. Airport transfers inevitably involve heavy bags. Our motorcoaches are equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can handle suitcases, golf clubs, trade show equipment, and more, keeping the main cabin clutter-free. You can sit back, stretch out, and enjoy the ride while we handle the heavy lifting and the driving.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sunrise Airport Transportation
How much luggage can we bring on the bus?
Storage space is one of the biggest benefits of renting a charter bus! On a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach, there are spacious undercarriage bays that can typically accommodate one large suitcase per passenger, plus overhead bins in the cabin for personal carry-on items (like backpacks and purses). If you are booking a minibus or a sprinter van, luggage space is more limited. When you call to book, please let our reservation agents know if you have excessive luggage (like band equipment, golf clubs, or extensive shopping bags from Sawgrass Mills) so we can match you with the correct vehicle size to ensure everything fits comfortably.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book your airport transfer with Charter Bus Rental Company Sunrise, we ask for your flight information so we can track your arrival status in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust the driver's schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you land. We include a grace period in our airport transfer packages to account for the time it takes to deplane and collect luggage. Communication is key—our 24/7 dispatch team is always available to update your reservation if significant changes occur.
Where do we meet the driver at the airport?
Pickup locations vary slightly by airport and vehicle type due to local security regulations. Generally, at airports like FLL and MIA, charter buses are required to load passengers on the lower level (Arrivals) in designated commercial vehicle zones. We cannot pull up to the curb until your entire group is ready and waiting with luggage, as security does not allow buses to idle. Once you have gathered your group and bags, you will contact your driver or our dispatch team, and the bus will pull around to meet you. We will provide you with the driver's contact information and specific meeting point instructions prior to your trip.
Can you provide transportation for a cruise transfer after our flight?
Absolutely! Many groups flying into the Sunrise/Fort Lauderdale area are heading to Port Everglades or the Port of Miami for a cruise. We specialize in land-to-sea transfers. We can pick your group up from the airport, take you to a hotel in Sunrise for a pre-cruise stay, and then shuttle you directly to the cruise terminal on embarkation day. We can also be there when you return to take you back to the airport. Our buses have plenty of room for all the luggage required for a cruise vacation.
How far in advance should I book my airport shuttle?
We always recommend booking as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For standard trips, booking 1 to 3 months in advance is usually sufficient to secure your preferred vehicle type. However, South Florida is a major tourist destination. If you are traveling during peak seasons (Spring Break, winter holidays) or major local events, availability can become limited quickly. Booking 6 months or more in advance is advisable for these high-demand times to ensure you get the best price and the exact bus you need.
