MIA Mover

The MIA Mover is an automated people mover that connects Miami Airport with Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). The train station, bus station and Rental Car Center (RCC) are located inside the Miami Intermodal Center, so those wanting to use any of these services must travel to the MIC. Those arriving to the airport on bus, train or with a rental car should come through the MIC. The address for drivers is 3801 NW 21st St, Miami, FL 33142, USA. The MIA Mover operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and takes 10 minutes to get to the airport. It arrives and departs from Central Terminal on level 3.

Trains depart every 30 minutes during the week, and every 15 minutes during the weekend.
The TriRail Line runs north along the coast to connect with Fort Lauderdale Airport and West Palm Beach and many stops along the way.

Taxi, Uber and Lyft

Taxi:
Taxis are available for airport transfer and don't need to be booked in advance, except for passengers requiring a taxi late at night or early in the morning. Taxis leaving the airport are on the ground level outside the baggage claim area, and taxis dropping off passengers go to departures. Call Taxi Miami has the highest ratings on Google. See Miami Airport's website for fare prices and more details.
Uber and Lyft:
Uber and Lyft are often used for incoming and outgoing passengers at Miami Airport. Uber and Lyft are very similar to use, and to do so passengers must download the app, fill in the required information, choose a vehicle and service, and order the car. Both companies offer different vehicles for different needs. There is no designated ride-sharing pickup area at Miami Airport, so passengers should enter the terminal and door number they are closest to. Passengers coming to the airport should be dropped off at the departures area.
