Our Art Basel Miami Transportation Options
Your fair visit may begin at an airport and end at a different hotel after a gallery appointment or collector dinner. Send the complete sequence so we can review the requested transportation around your actual plans.
Include individual transfers, shared guest trips and separate departures. A collector and advisor may attend a preview while other guests join later. Gallery staff may need a different return from their visitors. List those groups separately instead of using one headcount for the whole week.
Based in New York, Worldwide Chauffeurs Service began operations in 2014. Our event transportation services provide a starting point for discussing your Art Basel itinerary and checking arrangements for your dates.
Fair Dates, Preview Invitations and Arrival Targets
The main fair takes place at the Miami Beach Convention Center, 1901 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach. Check the official fair dates and admission information against each traveler’s ticket or invitation before choosing an arrival target.
Preview admission is by invitation. A private transfer does not include admission or priority entry. Give us the date and arrival requirement that apply to the passengers on that trip.
Keep gallery appointments, hospitality events and dinners separate from the main fair schedule. Each needs its own address and time. An invitation naming a venue or host is more useful for transportation planning than a destination recorded only as “Art Week.”
Airport Arrivals and Hotel Pickups
MIA and FLL Flight Details
For airport transfers, include Miami International Airport (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), flight number, arrival date, and terminal if known. Add the passengers, bags, traveler contact, and hotel destination.
Landing time differs from pickup readiness. Allow for baggage collection and immigration where applicable. Travelers arriving on different flights need separate readiness checks before you propose a shared pickup. Request meeting instructions for the actual reservation.
Hotel Entrances and Departure Plans
Give the hotel’s name, address, and entrance, plus the next appointment and requested arrival. Hotel pickup time and fair admission time belong in separate fields.
For a return to the airport, supply the departing flight, luggage, and airport arrival target. Ask for that departure plan to be reviewed separately from your inbound transfer. Add any luggage collection stop before departure so it appears in the quote request.
Fair Visits, Gallery Appointments and Separate Returns
Confirm Boarding and Vehicle Waiting Separately
The convention center’s address identifies the destination; it does not settle the passenger boarding arrangement. Share current event entrance instructions and request a permitted pickup location. Confirm where guests should be ready and how they will contact the chauffeur or agreed transport contact.
Reserved service time does not establish permission to remain at an entrance. Discuss vehicle waiting separately from passenger pickup.
A mainland gallery visit and a Miami Beach fair visit are separate destinations. Give the exact gallery or dinner address, departing riders, and next commitment. Guests remaining at the fair still need their own return plan. For group transportation, identify each passenger group rather than assuming everyone leaves together.
Keep Each Passenger Group in the Trip Table
Hypothetical quote-planning example, not a confirmed NYL booking or vehicle assignment:
| Requested movement | Traveler decision | Details to supply | Arrangement to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIA or FLL to hotel | Travelers ready after each flight | Flights, passengers, bags, hotel entrance | Availability, vehicle fit and meeting instructions |
| Hotel to main fair | Ticket or invitation and arrival target | Date, riders, event entrance instructions | Pickup and permitted unloading arrangement |
| Fair to gallery or dinner | People leaving while others stay | Exact address, riders, next appointment | Separate transfer or reserved time; boarding contact |
| Evening return | Each hotel or airport group | Destination, riders, bags, requested departure | Included legs, end time and change terms |
Use one dated itinerary revision. Keep artwork collection and shipping separate from passenger transportation; do not assume a passenger vehicle can carry purchased works.
Separate Transfers or Reserved Chauffeur Time
Known pickup times may suit separate point-to-point transfers. Several appointments across the day may justify discussing hourly chauffeur service for an agreed period.
Ask which stops and gaps the proposal covers, where vehicle waiting can be arranged, and how an extra stop or later finish affects charges. Compare the trip list and reserved period before comparing totals.
A dinner that ends later than planned can change the return requirement. Identify who may approve revisions and request confirmation before relying on extra time. Do not assume the same vehicle remains available for an extension or another day. Include the final return in the original brief wherever possible.
Vehicle Fit for Your Passengers and Bags
A sedan, SUV, passenger van or larger group vehicle may suit different requests. Ask us to assess the available category and actual configuration against your passengers, luggage and boarding needs.
Airport bags can change the vehicle requirement even when the rider count stays the same. List suitcase sizes and equipment dimensions where useful. Seats alone do not establish luggage space.
Describe any assistance or accessibility requirements early and obtain confirmation of a suitable arrangement. Review the configuration for each leg, including guests joining after a preview or leaving separately after dinner. A category request is not confirmation of a particular model or allocation.

Review the Scope and Confirm Changes
Request availability, the proposed vehicle configuration and a written trip list. Review the service start and end, reserved time and applicable minimums. Ask how airport charges, tolls, parking, gratuity, additional stops and overtime apply, along with payment, cancellation and change terms.
Check the written reservation against your latest itinerary. An inquiry alone does not confirm service. For a revised flight or appointment, identify the affected trip and request confirmation of the new arrangements and any charges.
