Heading for Florida’s largest outlet mall? Our shared shuttle connects Miami Beach and Sawgrass Mills in both directions from $35 per person, round-trip the same day on a fixed schedule. Want the vehicle to yourselves and an open-ended return instead? Book a private SUV from a flat $120 per vehicle one-way with an English-speaking driver. Flying into Miami International? We can collect you and your bags at MIA and drive straight to the outlets. Either way there is no car to hire, no parking to find, and no Uber surge waiting for you when you head home loaded with shopping.
There are two ways to shop Sawgrass Mills: the shared round-trip shuttle, priced by the person, or a private vehicle for your group at one flat per-car fare with a flexible return.
One price for the vehicle rather than for each passenger, plus a flexible return time so you leave the mall whenever you are ready.
Most shoppers take the private round trip with a 3–5 hour wait. A wait beyond 5 hours adds an hourly fee — confirm it by WhatsApp before booking.
For four or five people, one private SUV often lands close to the cost of five shared seats — with hotel pickup and a return time you set.
One or two guests do better on the shared shuttle. Once you are a family or a party of four-plus, the per-vehicle private fare divides across everyone and you pick up door-to-door collection, a flexible return, and nobody else riding along. Send your party size on WhatsApp and we confirm the exact figure in writing — no surge and nothing unexpected when the day wraps up.
Take the $35 shared shuttle for the lowest fare; take the private vehicle for your own schedule and space kept to your group.
Sawgrass Mills, at 12801 W Sunrise Blvd, Sunrise FL 33323, is Simon Property Group’s flagship outlet — the largest outlet mall in Florida and among the largest in the United States by retail area.
The Colonnade Outlets gather dozens of luxury labels at outlet prices, sitting alongside the main sportswear names and department-store off-price shops.
The upscale Colonnade wing is what pulls designer shoppers in, while the main concourses carry everyday sportswear, denim, footwear and accessory brands. Line-ups change over time, so check the mall directory once you are there. One useful tip: ask Simon Guest Services for the free savings booklet, which holds extra outlet coupons for a great many of the stores.
Give it a full afternoon — with 350+ stores spread across a sprawling centre, most shoppers spend four to six hours.
Sawgrass Mills is big enough that a quick stop rarely does it justice. An unhurried visit takes in the Colonnade luxury wing, the main brand outlets and a meal without anyone checking a watch. The private ride fits that pace: the driver drops you at the entrance and you message when you are ready, rather than shopping against a fixed shuttle clock. On the shared shuttle, plan your stores around the set return so you reach the meeting point on time.
For the thinnest crowds, come on a weekday morning — arrive near the 10 AM opening, ahead of the afternoon and weekend rush. Weekends, holidays and sale events draw the heaviest traffic.
With 350-plus stores across a huge centre, an early start buys the most relaxed shopping and a drop-off right at the entrance with no hunt for a space. Our morning shuttle departure lines up neatly with that: you reach the outlets as they open and shop the quiet hours before the crowds build.
Sawgrass Mills generally stays open into the evening, closing around 9:30 PM on weeknights and 10 PM on Saturdays, with shorter Sunday hours.
Plan the return with a little cushion: on the private ride we work to the mall’s hours, and on the shared shuttle the return is set by the shift you booked. Holiday weekends can run longer, so confirm the day’s schedule when you reserve.
Yes — a same-day round-trip shuttle runs from Miami Beach to Sawgrass Mills, and a private car option sits alongside it.
Nothing to hire and no parking space to find. The shared shuttle is $35 per person and covers the full round trip on a fixed schedule, which works nicely for solo shoppers and couples. If you would sooner set your own hours, the private vehicle gives your party a flat per-vehicle fare with hotel-door pickup and a return time of your choosing. Either version is a direct run to or from Miami Beach and the outlets, with room for a whole day’s shopping bags on the way back.
A direct ride from Miami to Sawgrass Mills is the simplest answer — shared shuttle or private vehicle, door to door.
From Miami Beach or Downtown the mall sits roughly 35 to 50 minutes north by road, up I-95 and then west toward Sunrise. No public bus reaches it directly and no train stops at the door, so a shuttle or a private car is the practical way to shop and be back the same day. On the shared shuttle your round-trip seat is held at a flat $35 fare on a fixed schedule. On the private ride, an English-speaking driver greets you at the hotel — or at MIA if you have only just landed — and handles 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 timing, hotel or MIA pickup |
| Uber / Lyft | ~$80-150 | 35-50 min | Surge plus a 20-40 min wait heading home |
| Public transit | ~$8-12 | 2.5-3 hours | 2-3 transfers via Broward Central Terminal |
You do not need a car of your own. The easiest car-free answer 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.
Every other car-free route is slower or dearer: a city bus is the cheapest at a few dollars but swallows 1.5 hours or more with transfers through Broward, and nothing runs direct from Miami Beach. Uber comes in around $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.
No — no free shuttle runs to Sawgrass Mills from Miami. The mall does not operate one, and hotel shuttles such as the DoubleTree in Sunrise only serve guests already staying near the mall — not visitors coming from Miami or Miami Beach.
Starting from Miami, the genuine choices are a paid door-to-door shuttle (our shared round trip is $35 per person), Uber (roughly $110 to $140 round trip once surges land), or a city bus of 1.5 hours and more with transfers. Only the paid shuttle collects you at your hotel and delivers you and your shopping bags back to the door.
Shared-shuttle guests meet at the nearest stop on the route; private bookings are collected 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.
Flying in and hoping to shop before you check into the hotel? The private ride is a natural fit: send your flight details, the driver tracks the arrival, meets you and helps with the luggage, then heads for Sawgrass Mills. Afterwards we can carry on to your Miami Beach or Downtown hotel. An SUV or van holds both your suitcases and the day’s shopping bags. Landing and going to the hotel first instead? See our private transfer from MIA Airport to Downtown Miami.
Roughly 35–50 minutes each way from Miami Beach, depending on traffic and where you are collected.
For the smoothest day, leave Miami Beach by 10 AM, shop until 4–5 PM, and stay ahead of the evening traffic home.
Your return to Miami Beach belongs to the round trip — the same driver collects you at the mall, with nothing to queue for at closing time.
On the shared shuttle the return follows the shift you booked — 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 space for every bag. There is no Sawgrass-to-Miami public bus to chase and no surge to outlast at the end of a long day.
On a private round trip the driver waits about 3–5 hours while you shop, then takes you home.
The standard private round trip covers that wait at the mall, so the same driver and the same vehicle are ready when you finish — nothing to queue for during the busiest hours. A wait past 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 with a scheduled return instead.
Yes — a private SUV comfortably swallows a family’s full day of Sawgrass shopping, and the vans handle group hauls.
The driver helps load and unload at the hotel, and there is room for suitcases too if we collected you from MIA on the way in. Nobody has to sit with their purchases on their lap in a small car.
Yes — the private ride belongs to your party alone, so families and groups travel together with nobody else aboard.
An SUV seats up to five and the vans take larger groups, with genuine room for a day of shopping bags. Everyone travels on one schedule with one driver, which beats splitting a family across separate cars — especially on the way back, when the whole group is weighed down with bags.
Small dogs travel on the private ride when they are in an appropriate carrier or kennel.
Tell us 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.
Yes — a one-way private ride to or from Sawgrass Mills is available at the flat per-vehicle rate.
If all you want is 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 travel out privately and come back another way, or take the round trip with a 3–5 hour wait. Give us your pickup point, party size and timing and we confirm the one-way figure in writing. The shared shuttle, by contrast, is sold only as a round trip.
Sawgrass Mills closes at 9:30 PM on weeknights and 10 PM on Saturdays. On private bookings, a return after 9 PM carries a night addition:
Book at least 24 hours ahead, and further out for weekends, holiday sales and larger groups.
Shared-shuttle shifts and the bigger private vehicles fill up quickly in peak season, so reserving early holds both your date and the vehicle your group needs.
Uber and Lyft handle the drop-off well enough; the ride home is where it unravels. On a busy Sawgrass weekend, return surge can lift a $40–50 outbound fare to $90–150, and the wait at the mall’s app pickup zone stretches to 20–40 minutes. Our shared shuttle and private vehicles use the same driver both ways at one agreed price, and we meet you at the entrance when you are finished. Uber and Lyft are trademarks of their respective owners; no affiliation.
No direct public bus connects Miami Beach to Sawgrass Mills — the realistic transit route, 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 compresses that into a single 35–50 minute trip, so the day goes to shopping instead of connections.

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 24 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.
You get a full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Within 24 hours of the ride, the booking is non-refundable.
Travelling alone for work, polite, professional, made me feel welcome. the AC was cranked exactly the way you want it after a flight.
Booked the night before, we flew in for a getaway and we were nervous about the airport, this took the worry off. no surprise tolls, no upselling, just the ride. Will book ahead next visit.
As crianças vinham cansadas, então nenhuma surpresa no final da viagem. sem pedágio surpresa, sem empurrar nada, só a corrida. Economizei uns 15 minutos vs a fila do Uber.
Friendly driver. Easy booking. Tidy interior. Clean SUV.
Una experiencia ideal. fue exacto con la hora.
