Getting from MIA to Miami
Taxis wait around the clock on the lower arrivals level outside baggage claim, and app rides use marked zones at the arrivals curb. The free MIA Mover train runs from the third level to the Miami Intermodal Center, where the Metrorail Orange Line reaches downtown in about 45 minutes, roughly three times the driving time. A pre-booked car is the simpler option for cruise passengers with luggage, families and anyone heading to Miami Beach.
Arrival tips
- International passengers exit customs at North Terminal D on the first level or South Terminal J on the third level; give yourself time for passport checks.
- Ground transportation is on the first level outside baggage claim; your confirmation gives the meeting point for your terminal.
- Skyride moving walkways on the third level connect the terminals, so you can change terminal areas without going outside.
- If you are connecting to a cruise, book a vehicle with space for every suitcase; a Minivan carries 6 bags.
MIA transfer questions
How long does the drive from MIA to Downtown Miami take?
Greater Miami's tourism bureau estimates about 15 to 20 minutes from MIA to Downtown Miami, depending on traffic. Trips to Miami Beach and other areas take longer, and afternoon rush hours or event days can add time. Your fixed price, including tolls and the airport fee, is set before you book.
Where do international passengers come out at Miami International?
International arrivals clear U.S. passport control and customs at one of two facilities. From Customs D in the North Terminal you exit on the first level; from Customs J in the South Terminal you come out on the third level and take an elevator down to ground transportation. Your confirmation gives the exact meeting point.
Can I book a transfer from MIA to PortMiami?
Yes. Many travelers fly into MIA and continue to a cruise departure at PortMiami. Choose a vehicle with enough luggage space, since cruise bags add up: a Sedan takes 3 bags, a Minivan 6, and a Sprinter Van suits larger groups. We track your flight, so a delayed arrival does not mean a missed pickup.
Is there a train from MIA to the city?
The MIA Mover links the airport with the Miami Intermodal Center, where Metrorail's Orange Line runs toward Downtown Miami in about 45 minutes. It is a budget option for light travelers. A private car avoids transfers and takes you straight to hotels in Brickell, Miami Beach or Coral Gables.
