Fort Lauderdale · Convention Center Shuttles

Convention center shuttles are scheduled group rides between hotels, airports, and the Broward County Convention Center.

Group shuttles for Broward County Convention Center and nearby hotels. We coordinate manifests, multiple pickup windows, and on-site dispatch for convention attendees and exhibitors.

Written flat rates24/7 dispatchCorporate billing available

Our dispatch team arranges shuttle service for corporate groups, trade show exhibitors, associations, and event planners attending events at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center. The convention center sits at 1950 Eisenhower Boulevard, near Port Everglades and just south of downtown Fort Lauderdale. It hosts events ranging from medical conferences to boat shows and consumer expos.

Typical shuttle routes connect the convention center with hotels along Fort Lauderdale Beach, Las Olas Boulevard, and downtown. Groups also need airport transfers from FLL, which is roughly five miles from the convention center. Some multi-day events require continuous loop service between a headquarter hotel and the venue throughout the day.

Pricing for convention shuttles depends on group size, vehicle type, total hours, and distance. A single sedan transfer from FLL to downtown Fort Lauderdale starts at $130 for reference. Shuttle contracts for groups are priced separately based on the number of vehicles, hours of service, and route complexity. We quote these events individually after reviewing the schedule.

Major events at the convention center overlap with Fort Lauderdale's busy winter season. January through April brings conventions, spring break travelers, and snowbird visitors at the same time. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, while centered at Bahia Mar, also creates spillover demand at the convention center and nearby hotels.

One honest limitation is that convention center traffic can be unpredictable. Load-in and load-out periods for exhibitors cause congestion around the facility. Chauffeurs must follow the center's designated pickup and drop-off zones, which can add walking time for attendees.

Planning a shuttle program

A good shuttle program starts with a manifest: which hotels, how many attendees at each, and the times people need to arrive and leave. From that we set loops between the headquarters hotel and the convention center, add airport arrivals and departures for speakers and staff, and choose vehicle sizes. Send the event schedule through our contact form and we will return a written quote built around it.

Getting in and out of the convention center

The Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center sits on Eisenhower Boulevard next to Port Everglades. Attendee drop-off follows the center's designated zones, and exhibitor load-in days bring freight traffic to the same streets. Hotels on the 17th Street corridor are the shortest loops; beach hotels come across the 17th Street Causeway bridge, which opens for boat traffic. On days when a cruise ship is turning around at the port, we add time to every loop.

Vehicles and rates for convention groups

  • Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: up to fourteen attendees per run, $240 per hour.
  • Cadillac Escalade: speakers and small teams with display cases, $150 per hour.
  • Executive sedan or S-Class: keynote speakers and executives, $120 or $230 per hour.

Every hourly booking carries a three-hour minimum, so morning and evening shuttle windows are usually planned as blocks. Single transfers from FLL, 15 to 25 minutes away, can be booked as flat fares.
