Heading to the biggest outlet mall in Florida? Ride our shared shuttle to or from Miami Beach and Sawgrass Mills from $35 per person, round-trip the same day on a set schedule. Want your own vehicle and a flexible return? Book a private SUV from a flat $120 per vehicle one-way with an English-speaking driver instead. Flying into Miami International? We can collect you and your luggage at MIA and head straight to the outlets. Either way: no rental car, no parking, no Uber surge on the way home with your bags.
A quick-glance summary of the outlet trip to or from Miami Beach and Sawgrass Mills.
The simplest way is a direct ride from Miami to Sawgrass Mills — shared shuttle or private vehicle, door to door.
From Miami Beach or Downtown the mall is roughly 35 to 50 minutes north by road, up I-95 and then west toward Sunrise. There is no direct public bus and no train to the door, so a shuttle or private car is the practical way to shop and be back the same day. On the shared shuttle your round-trip seat is reserved for a flat $35 fare on a set schedule. On the private ride, an English-speaking driver meets you at the hotel — or at MIA if you have just landed — and runs the trip to or from Miami Beach and Sawgrass Mills on your own timing.
Getting from Miami Beach to Sawgrass Mills – your options compared:
| Option | Cost (round trip) | Time each way | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our shared shuttle | $35 / person | 35-50 min | Door-to-door, set schedule, no parking |
| Our private vehicle | from $120 one-way | 35-50 min | Your own schedule, hotel or MIA pickup |
| Uber / Lyft | ~$80-150 | 35-50 min | Surge + 20-40 min pickup wait on the way home |
| Public transit | ~$8-12 | 2.5-3 hours | 2-3 transfers via Broward Central Terminal |
You don’t need a rental car. The easiest car-free way is a door-to-door shuttle: our shared round-trip is a flat $35 per person, and a private SUV runs about $120 one-way, both with hotel pickup across Miami and Miami Beach.
Your other car-free options are slower or pricier: a city bus is cheapest at a few dollars but takes 1.5 hours or more with transfers through Broward, and there’s no direct route from Miami Beach. Uber runs roughly $55 to $70 each way and surges on busy days. For a shopping day with bags to carry home, the shuttle is the simplest door-to-door choice.
Yes — a same-day round-trip shuttle runs from Miami Beach to Sawgrass Mills, with a private car option too.
You do not need a rental car or a parking spot. The shared shuttle is $35 per person and covers the round trip on a set schedule, ideal for solo shoppers and couples. If you would rather travel on your own hours, the private vehicle gives your group a flat per-vehicle fare with hotel-door pickup and a return time you choose. Either way it is a direct trip to or from Miami Beach and the outlets, with real room for a full day of shopping bags on the way home.
Two ways to shop Sawgrass Mills: the shared round-trip shuttle priced per person, or a private vehicle for your group at a flat per-vehicle fare with a flexible return.
A flat price per vehicle, not per passenger, with a flexible return time so you leave the mall whenever you are ready.
Most shoppers book the private round-trip with a 3–5 hour wait. A wait over 5 hours adds an hourly fee — confirm by WhatsApp before booking.
For four or five people, one private SUV often costs about the same as five shared seats — with hotel pickup and your own return time.
The shared shuttle wins on price for one or two guests. Once you are a family or a group of four-plus, the flat per-vehicle private fare spreads across everyone and you gain door-to-door pickup, a flexible return, and no strangers aboard. Tell us your party size on WhatsApp and we confirm the exact fare in writing — no surge, no surprises at the end of the day.
Shared-shuttle guests meet at the nearest stop on the route; private bookings are picked up door-to-door at the hotel lobby.
Yes — a private vehicle can meet your group at Miami International Airport and drive straight to the outlets.
If you are flying in and want to shop before checking into the hotel, the private ride works well: share your flight details and the driver tracks the arrival, meets you with help for the luggage, and heads to Sawgrass Mills. From the mall we can continue to your Miami Beach or Downtown hotel afterward. There is room for both your suitcases and the day’s shopping bags in an SUV or van. Just landed and heading to the hotel first? See our private transfer from MIA Airport to Downtown Miami.
Sawgrass Mills, at 12801 W Sunrise Blvd, Sunrise FL 33323, is Simon Property Group’s flagship outlet — the largest outlet mall in Florida and one of the largest in the United States by retail area.
The Colonnade Outlets gather dozens of luxury labels at outlet prices, alongside major sportswear and department-store off-price stores.
The upscale Colonnade wing is the draw for designer shoppers, while the main concourses cover everyday sportswear, denim, footwear, and accessory brands. Store rosters change over time, so check the mall directory on arrival. A tip worth knowing: ask Simon Guest Services for the free savings booklet, which carries extra outlet coupons for many of the stores.
Plan on a full afternoon — with 350+ stores across a sprawling center, most shoppers spend four to six hours.
Because Sawgrass Mills is so large, a quick stop rarely does it justice. A relaxed visit covers the Colonnade luxury wing, the main brand outlets, and a meal without rushing. The private ride suits this pace: your driver drops you at the entrance and you message when you are ready, rather than watching a fixed shuttle clock. On the shared shuttle, plan your stores around the set return time so you are back at the meeting point on schedule.
For the smallest crowds, visit on a weekday morning — arrive near the 10 AM opening, before the afternoon and weekend rush. Weekends, holidays, and sale events are the busiest times.
With 350-plus stores across a huge center, an early start gives you the most relaxed shopping and the best drop-off right at the entrance with no parking hunt. Our morning shuttle departure lines up perfectly: you reach the outlets as they open and shop the quiet hours before the crowds build.
Sawgrass Mills is generally open into the evening, closing about 9:30 PM on weeknights and 10 PM on Saturdays, with shorter Sunday hours.
Plan the return with a little buffer: on the private ride we match the mall’s hours, and on the shared shuttle the return time is fixed by your booked shift. Holiday weekends can run longer hours, so confirm the day’s schedule when you book.
Roughly 35–50 minutes each way from Miami Beach, depending on traffic and your pickup point.
For the easiest day, leave Miami Beach by 10 AM, shop until 4–5 PM, and beat the evening traffic home.
No — there’s no free shuttle to Sawgrass Mills from Miami. The mall doesn’t run one, and hotel shuttles (like the DoubleTree in Sunrise) only serve guests already staying near the mall — not visitors coming from Miami or Miami Beach.
From Miami your realistic choices are a paid door-to-door shuttle (our shared round trip is $35 per person), Uber (roughly $110 to $140 round trip with surges), or a 1.5-hour-plus city bus with transfers. The paid shuttle is the only option that picks you up at your hotel and brings you and your shopping bags straight home.
Uber and Lyft handle the drop-off, but the ride home is the catch: on a busy Sawgrass weekend, return surge can push a $40–50 outbound fare to $90–150, and pickup waits at the mall’s rideshare zone run 20–40 minutes. Our shared shuttle and private vehicles use the same driver both ways at one set price, and we meet you at the entrance when you finish. Uber and Lyft are trademarks of their respective owners; no affiliation.
There is no direct public bus from Miami Beach to Sawgrass Mills — the realistic transit option (a Tri-Rail or Metrobus connection through Broward Central Terminal with two or three transfers) runs roughly two and a half to three hours each way for a few dollars. Our door-to-door ride turns that into one 35–50 minute trip, so the whole day is for shopping, not connections.
Choose the $35 shared shuttle for the lowest fare; choose the private vehicle for your own schedule and group-only space.
Yes — a one-way private ride to or from Sawgrass Mills is available at the flat per-vehicle rate.
If you only need a drop-off at the outlets, or a pickup back to Miami, the one-way private fare starts at $120 in an SUV. Some shoppers ride out privately and travel back another way, or book the round trip with a 3–5 hour wait. Tell us your pickup point, party size, and timing, and we confirm the one-way rate in writing. The shared shuttle, by contrast, is sold as a round trip only.
Your return to Miami Beach is built into the round trip — the same driver collects you at the mall, with no rideshare line at closing time.
On the shared shuttle the return runs on your booked shift — a 5:00 PM, 9:00 PM, or 8:00 PM pickup at the agreed meeting point. On the private ride you message about 30 minutes before you are ready, and the driver meets you at the entrance you choose with room for every shopping bag. There is no Sawgrass-to-Miami public bus to chase and no rideshare surge to wait out after a long day of shopping.
On a private round-trip the driver waits about 3–5 hours while you shop, then brings you home.
The standard private round-trip includes the wait at the mall, so the same driver and vehicle are there when you finish — no rideshare line at the busiest hours. A wait beyond five hours adds an hourly fee; just confirm it on WhatsApp before booking. If you would rather not pay for a long hold, book a drop-off and a scheduled return instead.
Yes — a private SUV easily fits a full day of Sawgrass shopping for a family, and the vans handle group hauls.
The driver helps load and unload the bags at the hotel, and there is space for suitcases too if we collected you from MIA on the way in. No squeezing into a small rideshare with your purchases on your lap.
Yes — the private ride is exclusive to your party, so families and groups travel together with no strangers aboard.
An SUV seats up to five and the vans cover larger groups, with real room for a day of shopping bags. Everyone rides on one schedule with one driver, which is far simpler than splitting a family across rideshares — especially on the return, when the whole group is loaded with bags.
Small dogs are welcome on the private ride when they travel in an appropriate carrier or kennel.
Let us know at booking so the right vehicle is assigned and there is room for the carrier alongside any bags. Pets are not carried on the shared shuttle, so a pet-friendly trip means choosing the private vehicle.
Sawgrass Mills closes at 9:30 PM on weeknights and 10 PM on Saturdays. For private bookings, returns after 9 PM add a night premium:
Reserve at least 24 hours ahead, and earlier for weekends, holiday sales, and larger groups.
Shared-shuttle shifts and bigger private vehicles fill quickly in peak season, so booking early secures both your date and the vehicle your group needs.
Making a day of it? We also run the Everglades airboat tour from Miami Beach and the Key West day trip from Miami Beach, plus private hourly chauffeur service in Miami for shopping at your own pace.

Yes — reserve at least 24 hours ahead. For holidays and busy shopping weekends, book earlier to lock in your seat or vehicle, as the shared shuttle fills up.
The shared round-trip shuttle is $35 USD per person, same day. A private vehicle is a flat $120 one-way for an SUV (1–5), $180 for a van (6–9), or $220 for a larger van (10–14).
Only on the shared shuttle, which is priced per person. If you book a private SUV or van, the vehicle is exclusive to your party with no shared seating.
Monday–Friday: pickup about 8:10–9:40 AM with a 5:00 PM return, or about 9:40–10:45 AM with a 9:00 PM return. Saturday returns at 9:00 PM and Sunday at 8:00 PM.
On the private service, yes — you set a flexible return and we collect you when you are ready. The shared shuttle runs on the fixed shift you pick, not a custom return time.
About 35–50 minutes each way from Miami Beach via I-95 north to I-595 west. Add 15–20 minutes during weekday rush hour, 4–6 PM, on the way back.
Plenty. On a shared morning pickup you typically have until the 5:00 PM or 9:00 PM return. Most private round-trips include a 3–5 hour wait, extendable for an hourly fee.
There is no direct bus — the transit route runs through Broward Central Terminal with transfers and can take three hours or more each way. Our door-to-door ride is one 35–50 minute trip.
Sawgrass Mills is at 12801 W Sunrise Blvd, Sunrise, FL 33323 — Simon Property Group’s flagship outlet, the largest outlet mall in Florida, with hundreds of stores.
For private bookings we run XL SUVs for small groups and 12- to 14-passenger vans. Tell us your group size and we will assign the right vehicle for the trip.
Some vehicles offer onboard WiFi and charging ports. Let us know in advance if this matters and we will assign a vehicle that fits your needs on the private service.
On the private service a small dog is welcome inside a secure kennel or carrier. Let us know in advance so we can plan the vehicle and seating.
This Sawgrass service is transport-only and does not include child seats or strollers. Children age 3 and up pay the regular shared-shuttle seat fare; under 3 ride free on a lap.
Yes. We take reservations from anywhere in the world, process international payments, and keep you updated by WhatsApp and email before your shopping day.
Yes — a 50% deposit through our secure payment link or Zelle confirms a private vehicle. The remaining 50% is due on the day of service.
Cash is accepted at boarding for the shared shuttle. Private bookings are confirmed with a 50% deposit by link, Venmo, or Zelle, with the balance due on the day.
Yes. The private round-trip includes a 3–5 hour courtesy window. If you need longer, an hourly wait fee applies — just confirm with us by WhatsApp before booking.
An unscheduled stop is not part of the base fare, but a short, nearby stop arranged in advance can be accommodated. A small fee may apply for the extra time.
Private returns after 9 PM add a night premium: +$20 per trip for an SUV, or +10% on the trip fare for a van. The shared shuttle has set return times with no surcharge.
Yes — give us at least 24 hours notice and, subject to availability, we will move your pickup time to a shift that works better for your shopping plans.
Cancellations are free up to 48 hours before pickup. Inside that window, the deposit on a private booking may be retained to cover the reserved vehicle.
No hidden fees — gas and tolls are already included on this route. Tipping the driver is at your discretion and is always appreciated.
Sawgrass Mills is the bigger trip: 350+ stores including the Colonnade luxury outlets. Dolphin Mall is smaller (around 240 stores) and closer to the airport. For serious outlet shopping Sawgrass wins on selection — and if you’d rather do Dolphin, we run private rides there too, just ask.
Broward County sales tax is 7%, added at checkout. Watch for Florida’s periodic tax-free holidays, when many clothing and shoe purchases are exempt — international shoppers can save noticeably during those weekends.
On a private MIA pickup we track your flight and adjust, so a normal delay is no problem — the driver is there when you land. Just share your flight number when you book and message us if plans change.
There’s a large food court plus sit-down spots like the Rainforest Cafe and Grand Lux Cafe, so it’s easy to break up a shopping day with a proper meal without leaving the mall.
