What does Apex executive transportation in Fort Lauderdale cover?
Executive service means a chauffeured vehicle assigned to your schedule, not a ride requested when you are ready: airport meets at FLL and FXE, office-to-office transfers, all-day roadshow charters, board and client dinners, and convention shuttles. Every trip is dispatched from our Fort Lauderdale office with a uniformed chauffeur and Wi-Fi-equipped vehicle.
Accounts are set up with a single billing contact, approved travellers, and standing preferences such as vehicle class and pickup doors. Trips can be booked by the traveller, an executive assistant or a travel desk, and every reservation is confirmed in writing with the all-inclusive rate. Airport arrivals run on the same flight-tracked process as our FLL airport limo service.
For incentive trips and client events that include a sailing, we coordinate with the Port Everglades car service team so hotel, terminal and airport legs sit on one itinerary.
- Named chauffeurs for recurring travellers
- Hourly as-directed service for roadshows and site visits
- Multi-vehicle coordination for conventions and board meetings
- Monthly consolidated invoicing with cost-centre coding
Where do Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton executives travel most?
Most corporate trips run between downtown Fort Lauderdale's financial district and Las Olas Boulevard, the Broward Convention Center and beach hotels on Eisenhower Boulevard, the Cypress Creek corridor to the north, and Boca Raton's corporate parks. Downtown Fort Lauderdale is Broward County's largest downtown and South Florida's second largest after Miami.
Broward County's population is estimated at about 2,013,317 for 2025, up from 1,944,375 at the 2020 census, and the region's corporate base includes AutoNation and Citrix, both headquartered in Fort Lauderdale; Spirit Airlines, which opened its Dania Pointe headquarters in Dania Beach in April 2024; National Beverage Corp in Plantation; and Office Depot in Boca Raton. The Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance lists AutoNation, JM Family Enterprises, Cleveland Clinic, Baptist Health and Florida Blue among its CEO Council members.
Boca Raton adds Florida Atlantic University's main campus and the Research Park at FAU, with properties in Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach, which is why the Fort Lauderdale to Boca run is our most common recurring corporate route.

Do you provide transportation for the Broward Convention Center?
Yes. The Broward Convention Center at 1950 Eisenhower Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 has 350,000 square feet of contiguous exhibition space and more than 1.2 million square feet of total event space, with an 801-room Omni Fort Lauderdale headquarters hotel built as part of a $1.3 billion expansion. We run delegate shuttles, VIP cars and airport transfers for events there.
The convention center sits beside Port Everglades on the 17th Street corridor, about 5.5 miles from FLL and 3.8 miles from Las Olas by OpenStreetMap routing. For conferences we stage Sprinter vans and minibuses on a loop between the Omni, beach hotels and downtown, with a dispatcher on site for larger programs. Motorcoaches with restroom, PA system and wheelchair lift handle off-site dinners and airport departures at the end of the event; see our group charter page for capacities.

Can you meet a private jet at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport?
Yes. Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) is a general aviation airport inside the city limits about five miles north of downtown, handling more than 150,000 aircraft operations a year, the eighth-busiest general aviation center in the United States. Give us the tail number and the fixed-base operator and the chauffeur meets the aircraft planeside where the FBO permits.
FXE trips are typically executive SUVs to downtown, Las Olas hotels or Boca Raton, and Sprinter vans when a full flight of colleagues arrives together. Commercial arrivals into FLL follow the terminal-by-terminal process on our FLL airport page; all airport work is also described on the airport transfers service page.
How do corporate accounts and billing work?
A corporate account gives your company approved travellers, standing preferences, a single monthly invoice with cost-centre coding, and a direct line to dispatch. Recurring routes such as office to FLL or Boca Raton to downtown are priced as flat rates, and hourly as-directed service covers roadshows and multi-stop days.
Every trip carries a written confirmation and, on request, trip-status notifications so an assistant can see the car arrive. Real-time tracking is available on request for travellers who need to know where the vehicle is during a roadshow. Set up an account through our corporate travel page or by calling the Fort Lauderdale office; the same account works at our Miami, Los Angeles and Las Vegas offices.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Corporate use |
|---|---|---|
| Cadillac Escalade SUV | Up to 6 | Executive airport meets, client dinners |
| Mercedes Sprinter van | Up to 14 | Team transfers, roadshows, site visits |
| Executive minibus | 15–40 | Convention shuttles, off-site meetings |
| Motorcoach (restroom, PA, wheelchair lift) | 40–56 | Conference delegations, incentive groups |

Who typically opens a corporate account with Apex in Fort Lauderdale?
Executive assistants, travel managers and event planners at companies with regular travel between Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Miami and the airports, plus meeting planners staging events at the Broward Convention Center.
What is the difference between executive service and a standard airport transfer?
Executive service adds a named chauffeur, standing preferences, hourly as-directed availability and consolidated billing. A standard transfer is one pre-booked trip between two points.
Why use a chauffeured car rather than a rental for a Fort Lauderdale business trip?
Travel time on I-95 becomes working time, parking at downtown and convention venues is handled by the chauffeur, and multi-stop days run to a schedule rather than around parking availability.
When should a roadshow or convention program be booked?
Multi-vehicle programs at the Broward Convention Center should be booked as soon as the event dates are fixed, ideally several weeks ahead; individual executive transfers can be booked the day before, subject to availability.
Where do you operate corporate service from?
From our Fort Lauderdale office at 3240 SE 6th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316, covering Broward County and Boca Raton, with sister offices in Miami, Los Angeles and Las Vegas on the same account.
How is corporate travel billed?
One monthly invoice with each trip itemised by traveller and cost centre. Flat rates apply to recurring routes; hourly rates apply to as-directed service. Call (954) 708-1028 for an account setup.
