Free shuttles
Is there a free shuttle at Fort Lauderdale airport?
Yes, three kinds.
Broward County notes that the pickup area east of Terminal 4 (GTA 4) has been closed since April 11, 2025, until further notice, so follow the signs on the day.
Rental Car Center (RCC) shuttle
Broward County says it runs between the terminals and the Rental Car Center every 10 minutes, around the clock, from the lower level at all terminals and level 3 of the center. Look for the shuttle bus signs.
Hotel shuttles
Nearby hotels may offer free shuttles; contact your hotel. Broward County says the curbside area for Terminals 2 and 3 (GTA-2) has been closed since March 10, 2025, so hotel shuttles pick up at GTA-1 for Terminals 1 and 2 and at GTA-3 for Terminals 3 and 4.
Tri-Rail shuttle bus
Free buses run from the terminals to the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport Station at Dania Beach, about every 15–20 minutes during train hours (Tri-Rail), from GTA-1, GTA-2 and GTA-3.

Fort Lauderdale airport transportation FAQ
For your exact route, vehicle and timing, review the trip details and terms before submitting.
Speak with the conciergeIs there a free shuttle from Fort Lauderdale airport?
Yes. The Rental Car Center shuttle is free and runs every 10 minutes around the clock, some hotels run free shuttles, and the Tri-Rail shuttle bus to the Dania Beach station is free. All leave from the lower level.
What is the cheapest shuttle to Fort Lauderdale airport?
A free hotel shuttle, if your hotel runs one, or the free Tri-Rail shuttle bus if you're coming by train. Broward County Transit Route 1 stops at the Rental Car Center, Stop G.
Is an airport shuttle cheaper than a taxi?
A shared shuttle charges per person; a taxi or private car charges per vehicle. For one traveler, a shared seat can cost less. For a family or group, one vehicle priced per vehicle can compare well, and it goes straight to your address.
How do I get from Fort Lauderdale airport to my hotel?
Check whether your hotel runs a free shuttle and which Ground Transportation Area it uses. Otherwise take a taxi from your terminal's podium, a ride app from the rideshare area, or book a private car with the price shown before you book.
Is Uber or a taxi cheaper in Fort Lauderdale?
It depends on the trip, the time and how many people are riding. A ride-app price is set when you request and moves with demand. With Artisan, you see the full price before you book. For a group, one SUV or Sprinter is priced per vehicle, not per person.
Who can help me at the airport with ground transportation?
Each terminal has a Ground Transportation Booth on the lower level, staffed during arrival peak periods. Broward County's Ground Transportation Office is listed on the airport's ground transportation page.
