Limo Service Fort Lauderdale to Palm Beach International

Every week we drive Fort Lauderdale residents right past their hometown airport and 50 miles north to Palm Beach International. It sounds backwards until you have done it once: PBI is a single compact terminal with three concourses (A, B, and C), security lines measured in minutes, and curb-to-gate times FLL cannot touch. When the fare or the nonstop you need is out of PBI, the extra ground miles are a fair trade — if the ride is handled properly.

What the drive actually looks like

From central Fort Lauderdale the route is simple: I-95 north for essentially the whole run, exiting at Belvedere Road for the terminal. Florida’s Turnpike is the backup when 95 has an incident, at the cost of a few extra minutes. Door to door, plan on about an hour in normal traffic. The honest caveat: I-95 through Boca Raton and Delray between 4 and 7 p.m. on weekdays can stretch this to 80 or 90 minutes, and we schedule accordingly rather than pretend otherwise.

For a morning departure out of PBI, leaving Fort Lauderdale two and a half hours before the flight is comfortable — the airport itself is quick once you arrive.

Fares by vehicle

The 50-mile distance puts this trip in our 35-60 mile band. All quotes are fixed and all-inclusive: tolls, gratuity, and waiting time are in the number, and the price you see at booking is the price you pay.

Vehicle	Capacity	Fixed quote
Business Sedan	3 passengers, 3 bags	from $129
SUV	6 passengers, 6 bags	from about $155
First Class Sedan	3 passengers, 3 bags	quoted at booking
Sprinter Van	14 passengers, 14 bags	from about $232

The Sprinter deserves a mention for golf groups heading to Palm Beach County courses with clubs — fourteen bags of capacity means nobody nurses a travel bag on their lap. Details on every vehicle are on the fleet page.

Why not just drive and park?

Long-term parking at PBI plus a week of fees, two 50-mile drives at the wheel yourself, and the return leg after a red-eye — priced out, the private car usually lands within a few dollars of parking for trips over five days, and someone else handles I-95. Rideshare quotes on this distance swing widely and finding a return driver at PBI willing to run 50 miles south can take several tries.

The return trip is where it pays off

On your flight home into PBI, the driver tracks the arrival, meets you inside at baggage claim with a name sign, and the first 60 minutes after landing are included waiting time. PBI’s compact layout means you are typically curbside within 20 minutes of the wheels touching down — then an hour south and home.
