What is included in an FLL airport limo pickup?
Every FLL airport transfer with Apex includes real-time flight tracking, a uniformed chauffeur, curbside or baggage-claim meet-and-greet, luggage handling, free Wi-Fi in the vehicle, and all-inclusive pricing quoted before you book. Waiting time tied to a delayed flight is not billed as extra, because we adjust the pickup to the actual arrival.
We schedule the pickup against your flight number, not the clock. If your flight lands early or late, dispatch moves the chauffeur to match. For arrivals, you choose either a curbside pickup in the airport's designated pre-arranged vehicle area or a meet-and-greet inside baggage claim with a name sign.
For departures we collect you at your home, hotel, office, or Port Everglades cruise terminal and drop you at the correct terminal door for your airline, so there is no shuttle between terminals. Corporate travellers can set up a billed account through our Fort Lauderdale executive transportation desk.
- Flight tracking on every arrival and departure
- Meet-and-greet with name sign at baggage claim (on request)
- Child seats, extra luggage space and wheelchair-accessible vehicles on request; about 30% of our fleet is lift-equipped
- 24/7 dispatch at (954) 708-1028 and toll-free 877-427-1777
Which FLL terminal will my chauffeur meet me at?
FLL has four operational terminals, numbered 1 through 4 and colour-coded Yellow, Red, Purple and Green, with 67 gates in total. Your chauffeur meets you at the terminal your airline uses; the table below lists the main carriers by terminal so you can confirm the pickup point when you book.
A fifth terminal is under construction with completion expected by 2030, so terminal assignments can change; we confirm the terminal against your airline on the day of travel. Airlines and gate counts below are as published on the airport's Wikipedia article, accessed 2026-09-21, which cites Broward County Aviation Department data.
| Terminal | Gates | Principal airlines |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 1 (Yellow) | 24 | Alaska, Allegiant, Avianca, Frontier, Southwest, United |
| Terminal 2 (Red) | 9 | Air Canada, Delta |
| Terminal 3 (Purple) | 20 | JetBlue (domestic), American, Azul |
| Terminal 4 (Green) | 14 | JetBlue (international), Air Transat, Flair |

Where do pre-arranged limo pickups happen at FLL?
Pre-arranged ground transportation at FLL, including chauffeured cars and ride-share, uses designated pickup and drop-off areas on the lower level, located between Terminals 1 and 2 and between Terminals 3 and 4. Your confirmation names the exact door and the chauffeur's mobile number.
The airport sits about 3 miles southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale and is served by Interstate 95, Interstate 595 and US Route 1, which is why a chauffeured car reaches Las Olas, the beach hotels and the Broward County Convention Center quickly outside rush hour. Tri-Rail and Brightline rail stations connect to the terminals by complimentary shuttle to the lower level, but a rail-plus-shuttle trip still ends with a taxi or ride-share; a booked chauffeur is door to door.
If you prefer to be met inside, tell us when you book and the chauffeur will wait at baggage claim with a name sign, then walk you to the vehicle.

(954) 708-1028Frequently asked questions
Who should book a chauffeured car instead of a taxi or ride-share at FLL?
Travellers who need a guaranteed vehicle at a set time: cruise passengers with an embarkation window, executives with meetings, families with car seats, and groups of more than four with luggage. A pre-arranged chauffeur is tracked to your flight and waits for you; a ride-share is requested only after you land.
What happens if my flight into FLL is delayed?
Nothing changes for you. We track the flight number and move the pickup to the actual arrival time. Delay-related waiting is not billed as extra.
Why book in advance rather than on arrival?
FLL handled more than 32 million passengers in 2025, and curbside pickup areas are shared with ride-share. A pre-booked chauffeur has your terminal and pickup door confirmed, so you are not competing for a car in the lower-level pickup lanes.
When should my pickup be scheduled for an international arrival?
Set the pickup for about 45 minutes after the scheduled landing time to allow for immigration and customs. If you clear faster, call the chauffeur's number on your confirmation and they will move up.
Where does the chauffeur meet me at Fort Lauderdale airport?
Either curbside in the airport's designated pre-arranged ground transportation area on the lower level (between Terminals 1 and 2 or between Terminals 3 and 4), or inside baggage claim with a name sign if you request meet-and-greet.
How much does an FLL airport limo cost?
Rates depend on vehicle, distance and time of day and are quoted all-inclusive before you confirm. Call (954) 708-1028 or use the online reservation page for an exact price for your route.
Do you provide FLL transfers to Port Everglades and PortMiami cruise terminals?
Yes. Port Everglades is the closest cruise port to FLL, about 5.6 driving miles to Terminal 18; PortMiami is about 28 miles from the Fort Lauderdale port area. See our Port Everglades car service page for terminal-by-terminal details.
