Cheap hotels near Miami Airport with free shuttle

For the lowest total cost (room plus transfers), our order is: Ramada Miami Springs (24/7 shuttle, breakfast, free parking), Red Roof PLUS+, Tru by Hilton and La Quinta Airport North. Rates are lowest from late August to October and highest from mid-December to March and during big events such as Art Basel Miami Beach in early December.

Miami airport hotels with a shuttle to PortMiami

PortMiami is roughly 15–20 minutes by car from the airport hotels outside rush hour. Hotels that sell a transfer:

  • Holiday Inn MIA: scheduled transfer, small fee per person.
  • EVEN Hotel: Mercedes Sprinter van, about $15–17 per person.
  • Embassy Suites MIA: cruise shuttle for a surcharge.
  • Red Roof PLUS+: morning departures, about $12–14 per person, one way only.
  • Ramada Miami Springs, Hilton Blue Lagoon: paid cruise shuttle on request.
Tip: for 4 or more people, a rideshare to the port often costs about the same as the per-person shuttle and leaves when you want.

Park and fly near Miami Airport

MIA's Dolphin, Flamingo and Ibis garages cap at $25 per day and the on-airport Economy Park & Ride at $12 per day. Airport hotels sell "park, sleep, fly" packages that include one night plus several days of parking and the shuttle. EVEN (covered garage), Embassy Suites, Hilton Blue Lagoon, Sheraton and Ramada are common choices. As a rule of thumb, a package beats paying the garage once your trip is longer than four or five days, but compare against the Economy lot, which is cheaper than many people expect.

How Miami airport hotel shuttles work

  1. After baggage claim, follow signs for "Hotel Shuttle". Some hotels pick up on Level 2 (departures), others on arrivals.
  2. Scheduled vs on-call: scheduled buses loop every 15–30 minutes; on-call hotels (often overnight) ask you to phone the front desk.
  3. Going back to the airport, book a seat at the front desk the night before, especially for 4–6 a.m. departures, when buses fill up.
  4. Allow 30–45 minutes from hotel lobby to check-in counter including waiting time.

How we built this list

We took every hotel marketed as a Miami Airport hotel within about 8 miles of the terminal and kept those that list a free MIA shuttle on their official site or brand page, then checked hours and fees against at least one major booking platform in November 2026. Where sources disagree we show both. Affiliate links help fund Travel Miami, but no hotel paid to be included.

Frequently asked questions

Which Miami airport hotels have a 24-hour free shuttle?
Hotels that list a free 24-hour MIA shuttle include Embassy Suites by Hilton Miami International Airport, Holiday Inn Miami International Airport, Ramada by Wyndham Miami Springs, EVEN Hotel Miami Airport and Four Points by Sheraton (scheduled pick-ups). The Sheraton Miami Airport also advertises a 24-hour shuttle. Overnight runs are often on-call, so phone the hotel when you land.
Which hotels near Miami Airport have a free shuttle and free breakfast?
Embassy Suites (full buffet plus an evening reception), Ramada Miami Springs, Red Roof PLUS+, La Quinta Inn Miami Airport North and Tru by Hilton Blue Lagoon combine a free airport shuttle with free breakfast. At the Sheraton, Pullman, Four Points and Hilton Blue Lagoon breakfast is charged.
Where do hotel shuttles pick up at Miami International Airport?
Hotel courtesy shuttles use the zones signed 'Hotel Shuttle'. Depending on the hotel this is on the departures level (Level 2), as with Hilton Blue Lagoon and Pullman, or on the arrivals level. Some hotels, such as EVEN, ask you to call for pick-up. Check your confirmation email for the exact spot.
Do Miami airport hotels have a shuttle to PortMiami?
Several do, but it is rarely free. Holiday Inn Miami International Airport, Embassy Suites, Red Roof PLUS+ and EVEN Hotel all offer a cruise-port shuttle for about $12–$17 per person, usually one way and at fixed morning times. Book it at check-in, because seats are limited on busy sailing days.
Is park-and-fly at a Miami airport hotel worth it?
For trips longer than a few days, usually yes. MIA's own garages cap at $25 a day and the Economy Park & Ride at $12 a day. Park-and-fly packages bundle one night with several days of hotel parking and the shuttle, so a week away often costs less than the room plus airport parking would.
Should I tip the hotel shuttle driver in Miami?
It is customary in the US to tip shuttle drivers who handle your luggage, typically $2–$5 per trip or about $1–$2 per bag. It is appreciated but not required.
