A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) Transfers
Located just about 15 miles south of Margate via the Florida Turnpike or I-95, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (100 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) is the most popular choice for travelers heading to our city. FLL is a major hub for low-cost carriers and serves millions of passengers annually. Because of its proximity, it is our most frequently requested pickup location. However, FLL’s layout, with its four distinct terminals and looping lower-level arrival lanes, can be chaotic during peak tourist seasons. Commercial vehicles, including our charter buses and minibuses, have specific designated zones for loading and unloading passengers to ensure safety and traffic flow.
When you book with Charter Bus Margate, you don’t have to worry about finding these zones on your own. Your driver will be in communication with your group leader as you land. Once you have gathered your bags at the carousel, you simply head to the designated commercial vehicle lane on the lower level, and your private bus will be there to greet you. We can accommodate groups of any size, from a sprinter van for a small family reunion to a fleet of 56-passenger motorcoaches for a large convention. With ample undercarriage storage, your golf clubs, trade show materials, or wedding attire will be stowed safely, allowing you to relax in a reclining seat for the quick 25-minute drive up to Margate.
Miami International Airport (MIA) Group Transportation
For international travelers or those flying on major global carriers, Miami International Airport (2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33126) is often the gateway of choice. Located roughly 35 to 45 miles south of Margate, the transfer from MIA can take anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour depending on the notorious Miami traffic. This is where the value of a private charter bus rental truly shines. Instead of stressing over the GPS or paying exorbitant surge pricing for three or four separate cars, your entire group travels together in air-conditioned comfort. We utilize the express lanes on I-95 or the Turnpike to ensure the most efficient route possible to your hotel or event venue in Margate.
MIA is a massive facility, and navigating it can be daunting. Pickups for charter buses are strictly regulated at the Miami Intermodal Center or specific terminal curbsides depending on the current security level and airport operations. Charter Bus Margate stays up-to-date on all airport protocols. We track your flight to adjust for delays, ensuring that whether you land early or late, your ride is ready. Onboard your bus, your group can utilize amenities like WiFi and power outlets to recharge devices after a long flight, or simply rest their eyes before the excitement of your Margate trip begins. We turn a potentially stressful commute into a relaxing extension of your travel experience.
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) Shuttle Services
Situated to the north of Margate, Palm Beach International Airport (1000 James L Turnage Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33406) offers a calmer, often more upscale travel experience. It is located approximately 35 miles away via the Florida Turnpike or I-95 North. PBI is a favorite for executive groups, golfers, and those looking to avoid the hustle and bustle of Miami or Fort Lauderdale. While smaller than its southern counterparts, PBI still requires professional coordination for group pickups, especially regarding luggage handling and timing.
Charter Bus Margate provides reliable shuttle services from PBI directly to your doorstep in Margate, whether that’s a residence, a hotel like the Courtyard by Marriott, or a venue like the Carolina Golf Club. The drivers are familiar with the layout of PBI, ensuring a swift exit from the airport grounds. By choosing a private shuttle, you avoid the wait times associated with public shuttles that stop at every hotel along the coast. Your charter bus goes exactly where you want, when you want. If your group decides to make a pit stop for food in Boca Raton or Delray Beach on the way down to Margate, we can easily incorporate that into your custom itinerary.
Executive & Private Airport Transfers near Margate
Not everyone flies commercials. For our corporate clients, sports teams , and VIPs flying via private aviation, we offer specialized transfer services to and from local executive airports. The Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (6000 NW 21st Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309) and Pompano Beach Airpark (1001 NE 10th St, Pompano Beach, FL 33060) are practically neighbors to Margate, offering incredible convenience. These airports utilize Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) like Sheltair or Banyan Air Service, where the service is much more personalized.
When you book a sprinter van or executive minibus with Charter Bus Margate for these locations, we can often pull right up to the tarmac or meet you directly at the FBO lobby. This white-glove service ensures that your executives or VIPs transition from their aircraft to our luxury ground transportation without missing a beat. Our executive vehicles can feature leather seating, tray tables, and privacy tint, allowing for meetings on the go or total relaxation. Whether you are flying in for a meeting at the Margate City Hall or a specialized medical conference in the area, our executive transfers provide the discretion, speed, and professionalism you require.
Why Choose Charter Bus Margate for Airport Logistics?
Logistics make or break a trip. At Charter Bus Margate, we don't just provide a vehicle; we provide a comprehensive transportation solution. We have been serving the Margate and Greater Fort Lauderdale area with distinction, building a reputation for reliability. Our reservation specialists are available 24/7/365 because we know that travel plans can change in an instant. Flight canceled? Diverted? Delayed? You can call us at any hour, and we will work to adjust your pickup time. We also offer one of the most diverse fleets in the state. From 18-passenger minibuses perfect for a bachelorette party heading to the airport, to 56-passenger motorcoaches for a school field trip , we have the right fit.
Furthermore, our pricing is transparent and competitive. We offer instant quotes—often in under 30 seconds over the phone—so you can budget your trip immediately. There are no additional fees or surprises when you land. We factor in the time it takes to load luggage and board passengers, ensuring you are never rushed.

The Benefits of Private Bus Rentals vs. Rideshares
In the age of apps, it is tempting to think that hailing five different rideshares for your group of 20 people is the easy way out. However, anyone who has tried to coordinate pickups at a busy airport curb knows the reality is far different. With rideshares, you are subject to surge pricing, which can skyrocket when a flight lands. You also run the risk of splitting your group up; if one car gets lost or stuck in traffic, your entire itinerary is delayed. Luggage is another major concern—a standard sedan can barely fit three people and their suitcases, let alone golf bags or trade show equipment.
A private bus rental from Charter Bus Margate eliminates these variables. You pay a flat rate, so you know your costs upfront regardless of traffic conditions. Your group stays together, which is vital for morale and organization. Our buses feature massive luggage bays under the bus and overhead bins inside, meaning you never have to sit with a suitcase on your lap. Plus, you get a professional and comfortable travel experience. In the Florida heat, stepping out of the terminal into a pre-cooled, air-conditioned bus with reclining seats is a luxury that rideshares simply cannot match.
Customizing Your Airport Transfer Itinerary
One of the greatest advantages of booking with Charter Bus Margate is the ability to customize your trip. Your airport transfer doesn't have to be a straight shot to the hotel if you don't want it to be. Arriving early before hotel check-in? Let us take your group for a lunch stop at a local favorite, or perhaps a quick visit to the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek nearby. Need to stop at a grocery store to stock up for your vacation rental? We can add that stop to your itinerary effortlessly.
We also handle transfers to cruise ports. If you are flying into FLL or MIA but sailing out of Port Everglades or the Port of Miami, we provide seamless land-sea connections. We can pick you up at the airport, take you to a hotel in Margate for the night, and then shuttle you to the cruise terminal the next morning. You are the boss of the itinerary. Just tell our reservation specialists what you need, and we will build a route that maximizes your time and comfort. From Calypso Cove Aquatic Facility to the Carolina Golf Club, we know Margate inside and out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Margate Airport Transportation
How much luggage can we bring on a charter bus?
Full-size charter buses (56-passenger models) offer the most luggage space, featuring large undercarriage bays that can typically hold one standard suitcase per passenger, along with overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and purses. Minibuses and sprinter vans have more limited storage, often a rear compartment that can hold a moderate amount of luggage. If your group is traveling with excessive gear—such as trade show displays, band equipment, or golf clubs—please let our reservation specialist know when you call 954-369-0007 so we can ensure we match you with a bus that has the appropriate capacity.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We monitor flight statuses for all airport pickups. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust the driver's schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you land. We ask that you provide your flight number at the time of booking so our dispatch team can track your arrival in real-time. In the event of a significant delay or a flight cancellation/change, please call our 24/7 dispatch line immediately so we can update your reservation and ensure your driver is waiting for you at the correct time.
Can the bus pick us up right at the curbside?
Yes, but specific pickup locations depend on the airport's regulations. At FLL, MIA, and PBI, there are designated commercial vehicle lanes usually located on the ground level (arrivals) or specifically marked transportation zones. Your driver cannot park and wait at the curb indefinitely due to security regulations. Typically, the driver will wait in a cell phone lot or staging area until you have collected your luggage and are ready to walk out. Once you are at the curb, you call the driver, and they will pull around to load you up. Our team will provide precise instructions for your specific terminal.
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 travel dates, booking 1 to 3 months in advance is usually sufficient to secure your preferred vehicle type. However, if you are traveling during peak Florida seasons—such as Spring Break, winter holidays, or during major local events—we strongly suggest booking 6 months in advance. Availability can become limited quickly during these high-demand periods. That said, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us even if your trip is coming up soon.
Do you serve cruise ports from the airport?
Absolutely! Transfers between South Florida airports (FLL, MIA, PBI) and the cruise ports (Port Everglades, PortMiami, Port of Palm Beach) are among our most popular services. We can pick your group up directly from the airport and drive you straight to your cruise ship terminal. If you are arriving a day early, we can shuttle you from the airport to your hotel in Margate, and then from the hotel to the cruise port the following morning. We make land-to-sea transfers seamless and stress-free.
