Keys Shuttle

Hourly Keys Shuttle runs straight from MIA down to the Florida Keys

This is a shared shuttle aimed at travelers who land at Miami International Airport and want to go directly to the Florida Keys without renting a car or dealing with Greyhound schedules. Keys Shuttle runs roughly once per hour, so you can usually match a ride to most daytime arrivals in North, Central, or South Terminal with some buffer.

Because it’s a multi-stop shared service, total journey time varies based on Keys destination and how many drop-offs the van makes. Expect significantly longer than the 2.5–3 hour self-drive to Key West from MIA, especially in weekend or holiday traffic on US-1. The trade-off is door-to-door service to hotels and addresses in the Keys instead of being dropped at a single bus stop.

Keys Shuttle is a ground-side service, so you’ll need to clear baggage claim in your terminal and then meet the vehicle in the designated pickup area outside MIA, not at a curb right off the concourse. Build at least 30–45 minutes from scheduled landing to pickup time to deal with immigration, bags, and a walk from North, Central, or South Terminal to the assigned zone.

As a shared shuttle, pricing is usually per person and cheaper than a private car from MIA all the way to towns like Key Largo or Marathon, but more than a Greyhound ticket. You’re paying for the point-to-point ride and hourly frequency rather than rock-bottom fares. If your party is four or more and headed to the same address, it’s worth running the numbers against a one-day rental car.

Because Keys Shuttle runs on an hourly pattern, late flights from MIA can mean sitting an extra 60 minutes if you miss a departure. Don’t cut it tight with checked bags or late-evening arrivals from the Central or South Terminal. Aim for a pickup slot at least one full hour after scheduled landing so you’re not sprinting through baggage claim.

Tip: On booking, give your exact MIA arrival time and your final Keys address, and then confirm your pickup location (door number and curb) for your specific terminal at least 24 hours before you fly.
