TRANSPORTATION

FLYING TO KEYS100®: The closest and most convenient commercial airports are Miami International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International.  Miami is closer to the Keys, but Fort Lauderdale offers easier access and is a viable alternative.  Full car rental facilities are available at both airports.  The Key West airport also offers commercial service.  At this time, no commercial flights are available in Marathon.  

“Super Shuttle” is large van transportation to and from Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.  For Miami information and reservations, call 305-871-2000.  For Fort Lauderdale, dial 800-258-3826.
