Miami Airport Shuttle (FREE)

South Beach Hotel Group offers free airport shuttle service from Miami International Airort (MIA) to and from any of their South Beach hotels. The hotels they provide transportation to include: Catalina, Chelsea, Chesterfield, Lilly Leon, Mercury, Shelley, and Whitelaw.

Here’s how the shuttle service works—After you arrive at the airport, go to the Top floor (Departures) Terminal G, and wait under the Hotel Shuttle sign. The shuttle bus departs every two hours.

Shuttle Schedule and Transportation Details

MIA to Hotel:

Chesterfield Hotel to MIA:
8am, 10am*, 12pm*, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, 8pm, 10pm

• Shuttle service is for Miami International Airport only and is available seven days a week.
• Be ready to board. Vans cannot park at the shuttle stop for a long period of time. Wave down the driver if necessary.  The vans are easily recognizable with a South Beach Hotel Group logo on the side.
• Please make sure to schedule your return trip to the airport at least 6 hours before your departure time.

   Do you travel to the loft hotel for free as well?

   Hi, Tiffinay. No, the bus does not stop at the Loft Hotel. If you’re going to the Loft, the closest hotel the bus stops at is the Chesterfield, which is about 3 city blocks away.

   Do you stop at Lowes South Beach Hotel?

   Hi, Kathy, the free shuttle is for South Beach Hotel Group customers (but that’s not to say you couldn’t tip the driver to drop you at the Loews).

   If you decide to take a taxi, the flat rate from MIA to the Loews Hotel is $32.

   Hope you have a great vacation!

   Hi, Monica. No. The airport shuttle stops at 20th Street… However, the city bus can take you to 45th and Collins from 20th Street.

   Do you have to be staying in any of those hotels or anyone can ride the shuttle bus
   Thanks

    Yes, the shuttle is for hotel guests, but there is no harm in asking the driver for a lift.

    FYI, the flat rate for a taxi to Mid Miami Beach is around $40.
