Ultimate Wedding Transportation FAQ: Everything You Need to Know
In Miami, expect to pay between $500 to $1,500 on average. It depends on if you want a classic limo or a flashy party bus. A good rule is to set aside 2% to 3% of your total wedding budget for rides.
Not at all. But if your venue is far from the hotels (like a South Beach hotel to a Homestead farm), a shuttle is a nice move. If not, just give your guests a heads-up about local ride-shares.
The standard tip in Florida is 15% to 20% of the total bill. Double-check your contract first—some Miami companies include the tip (gratuity) automatically.
Yes! You can use Uber Events to give guests a promo code. It’s budget-friendly, but remember: Miami traffic is crazy, and you can’t always guarantee a driver will be right there when everyone leaves at once.
50/30/20: 50% for Venue/Food, 30% for Music/Photos, and 20% for everything else (like your limo).
30-5: 30 days before the wedding, make sure you have a 5% emergency fund for last-minute Miami rain plans or extra transport hours.
Totally. For $10k, you’ll be doing more DIY. For $35k, you can easily afford a professional shuttle service and a luxury getaway car for the couple.
Book 6 to 9 months early. Miami is a huge wedding destination, and the best cars get snatched up fast, especially during the busy winter/spring season.
Most Miami vendors require a 3 to 4-hour minimum. Even if your trip is only 15 minutes, you’ll usually pay for the full block of time.
Check your contract! Most include fuel and insurance, but cleaning fees ($150-$300) and Miami’s expensive parking/tolls are often extra.
Ask your vendor if they have a "Fleet Backup." A pro company should have a secondary car or a backup driver ready to roll within an hour if something goes wrong.
Yes, our drivers wear a clean black suit and tie. We study the routes 24 hours early to avoid Miami’s famous gridlock and road closures.
Usually, deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel 30-60 days out, you might get some money back, but canceling in the last 15 days usually means you pay the full price.
If a car says it fits 10, stick to 8 people. That big Miami wedding dress needs its own space! You don’t want your gown getting wrinkled before the ceremony.
Definitely! All our cars have Bluetooth for your party playlist. Snacks and drinks are fine, but skip the red wine—Miami bumps can lead to spills and high cleaning fees.
Most luxury packages include a bottle of bubbly and red carpet service. Just confirm it’s included in your specific deal when you book.
We can provide ADA-compliant vans with lifts. Just let us know when you book so we can have the right vehicle ready for your family.
That’s called the "Overtime Rate." It’s usually billed in 30-minute chunks. If the driver doesn't have another gig, you can usually extend on the spot.
Keep the cake on the flat floor of the car (not the seat!). For flowers, keep the AC on high—Miami heat will wilt your bouquet in minutes!
Never check it! Carry it in a garment bag and ask the flight attendants to hang it in the cabin's closet. Most Miami-bound flights are used to this.
Limos have small trunks. If you have 5 big suitcases or heavy decor, you’re better off booking an SUV or a Transit Van.
If everyone is at the same hotel, a shuttle is the way to go. If your guests are scattered across Miami, give them Uber vouchers for more flexibility.
Try to have a shuttle loop every 20-30 minutes. For 100 guests, two big shuttles or one shuttle doing 3-4 quick loops works perfectly.
Yes! We send you the driver’s name and cell number 24 hours before the wedding so your planner can stay in touch.
Not allowing for "Miami Time" (Traffic!). Always add a 20-minute buffer to your schedule. Between the drawbridges and the I-95 traffic, you’ll be glad you did!
