Fortlauderdale Party Bus and Charter Bus Rentals
Partybus-rental.net is not a bus company. It's a quote-comparison website — and that distinction is genuinely good news for you. Instead of spending an afternoon calling individual operators, describing your trip over and over, and waiting on callbacks that never quite line up, you fill out one short form and quickly see vehicles and rates from a large network of bus companies serving Fort Lauderdale and all of Broward County.
You're never limited to a single fleet.
The site covers every group size — from a 14-passenger Sprinter limo for a bridal party pickup at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to a 56-passenger charter bus for a corporate shuttle circuit between downtown hotels and the Broward County Convention Center. Compare vehicles, packages, and pricing side by side, with pictures, before you commit to anything. A support team is available every day of the year at 833-458-7001 to build a custom quote around your exact date, headcount, and itinerary.
No obligation, no account, just answers.

Common Fortlauderdale Party Bus and Charter Bus Amenities
Party buses in the network typically include a full-length bar area, color-changing LED lighting, premium sound with Bluetooth connectivity, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating — exactly right for a bachelorette night down Las Olas or a birthday crawl through Flagler Village. Minibuses are a strong pick for corporate shuttles and wedding guest transfers, with plush reclining seats and powerful A/C built for South Florida heat. Full-size charter buses add undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, overhead storage, WiFi, and power outlets — the practical choice for long hauls up to Orlando or multi-day convention circuits.
Amenities vary by vehicle, so compare options on the site or call 833-458-7001 to find the exact fit.

How Much Is a Party Bus in Fortlauderdale?
Fort Lauderdale party bus rental prices shift with vehicle size, date, and how many hours you need — but here's a general range to help you plan. Sprinter limos and vans typically run $125–$250/hour. Party buses in the 15–20 passenger range run roughly $175–$325/hour; 20–30 passenger buses run $225–$400/hour; and larger 35–50 passenger party buses or minibuses run $275–$475/hour.
Full-size charter buses generally fall in the $130–$275/hour range or $1,100–$2,200/day for longer contracts.
Those are ballpark figures. A quote for your specific date, itinerary, and group size comes from the form or the phone. Demand spikes around Tortuga Music Festival (April), Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (October/November), and prom season (April–May) — pricing moves during those windows, and vehicles get claimed fast.

Stop Calling Around — Compare Fortlauderdale Party Buses Here
The short answer: you're not locked into one company's available fleet. Partybus-rental.net pulls from a wide network of bus companies serving Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and the surrounding South Florida region — so if one vehicle type is unavailable on your date, there are others to compare. That matters most during Fort Lauderdale's peak windows: boat show week, spring break, and prom season, when a single-company search can come up empty fast.
The process is designed to be fast and low-pressure. Enter your trip details once — date, group size, pickup and drop-off — and see vehicles and pricing without creating an account or sitting on hold. If the online quote doesn't cover a specific need (a multi-stop pub crawl, a multi-day convention circuit, a fleet of buses for a large corporate event), a support team at 833-458-7001 can build a custom package from scratch.
Available every single day of the year, no business-hours restriction.
Not sure which vehicle type fits your group? The bus types guide lays out every option clearly. And if you've never rented a bus before, this bus rental walkthrough takes the guesswork out of the whole process.
Fortlauderdale Party Bus Services Available
From airport pickups at FLL to post-concert rides home from Amerant Bank Arena, Fort Lauderdale group trips have vehicle choices available through the network. Below are the most common occasions groups book — along with the local logistics that actually matter for each one. Call 833-458-7001 any time to get started.
Fort Lauderdale Airport Group Shuttles to and from FLL
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) (100 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) served 32.2 million passengers in 2025, and its ground transportation setup is genuinely tight. The airport uses a centralized ground transportation area on the lower level of each terminal — Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4 each have their own curbside commercial pickup zones. For group pickups, the key is having your full party assembled with luggage before calling for the bus to pull up, because FLL's commercial lanes move quickly and holding in the active lane is not permitted.
The critical detail most first-timers miss: FLL sits just 3 miles from Fort Lauderdale's downtown core, but I-595 and US-1 both back up heavily during afternoon drive windows (3–7 PM), and the arrivals level can stack up fast on busy travel days. A Fort Lauderdale airport shuttle bus rental through the network connects your group with transportation providers serving the area — your group exits baggage claim, assembles curbside, and the vehicle arrives according to the trip details. No rideshare surge, no splitting into three cars, no one standing outside in the August humidity while the app finds a vehicle.
Check current pickup protocols on the FLL ground transportation page before your arrival date. Call 833-458-7001 to set up your FLL pickup.
Fort Lauderdale Bachelor and Bachelorette Party Bus Rentals
Las Olas Boulevard is the spine of Fort Lauderdale's nightlife — a walkable stretch of rooftop bars, wine lounges, and late-night restaurants running from Andrews Avenue east toward the Intracoastal. Popular stops include S3 Sun Sea Sand (3000 E Sunrise Blvd), Tarpon Bend (200 SW 2nd St), and Stache (109 SW 2nd Ave) — one of the city's most-loved speakeasy-style bars. For groups that want to push later, Elbo Room (241 S Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd) on Fort Lauderdale Beach keeps things going well past midnight.
Parking anywhere near Las Olas on a Friday or Saturday night is metered, scarce, and heavily enforced. A Fort Lauderdale bachelorette party bus picks the group up, handles every stop on the itinerary, and brings everyone home at the end of the night — no sober-ride conversation, no splitting the group across three rideshares at 1 AM, no one trying to remember where they parked the car. A 20- or 25-passenger party bus with LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and a bar area is the right fit for most bachelorette groups.
Call 833-458-7001 to check availability on your date.
Fort Lauderdale Birthday Party Bus Rentals for Every Age and Group Size
From Sweet 16 celebrations and quinceañeras to milestone adult birthdays hitting the rooftop bar circuit, a birthday party bus rental in Fort Lauderdale makes the logistics simple and the entrance memorable. For quinceañera and Sweet 16 groups, popular event venues across Broward County include Signature Grand (6900 State Rd 84, Davie, FL 33317), Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina (2301 SE 17th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) for waterfront receptions, and Coral Ridge Country Club for larger family affairs. A 40-passenger party bus or minibus is a great fit for shuttling guests between hotels and the venue — especially on weekends when SE 17th Street and I-595 both get heavy.
For adult birthdays going bar to bar through downtown Fort Lauderdale or along the beach strip, the bus keeps the whole group together and moves the night forward on your schedule. Compare vehicle options and see pricing for your trip by using the online quote tool, or call 833-458-7001 to build the right package for your headcount and itinerary. Birthday party bus rentals are available for every age and occasion throughout Broward County.
Concert and Event Bus Rentals in Fort Lauderdale
Amerant Bank Arena (1 Panther Pkwy, Sunrise, FL 33323) is the biggest indoor venue in South Florida — a 19,250-seat arena hosting major touring acts, Florida Panthers games, and arena-level events year-round. The arena sits in Sunrise off I-595 and University Drive, and its parking situation is manageable compared to urban arenas, but post-show exit on Panther Parkway can stack badly, with traffic backing onto University Drive for 30–45 minutes after a full-house show.
A Fort Lauderdale concert bus rental keeps your group off that lot exit entirely. The bus drops at the designated commercial vehicle zone, your group walks in together, and the ride home is already handled — no one's circling Panther Parkway at 11 PM waiting for a rideshare that's showing 25 minutes away. For outdoor events, Revolution Live (100 SW 3rd Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312) sits in the heart of downtown with essentially zero dedicated parking, making a bus the obvious move for any group of 10 or more.
Tortuga Music Festival (Fort Lauderdale Beach, April) draws large crowds and turns A1A into a parking nightmare — for that weekend, bus demand spikes and vehicles book out early. Call 833-458-7001 to lock in your date.
Corporate Transportation in Fort Lauderdale for Teams and Events
The Broward County Convention Center (1950 Eisenhower Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) sits on the Intracoastal Waterfront and has completed a major expansion — the east expansion and new headquarters hotel opened in 2025, adding a 65,000-square-foot ballroom and increasing convention traffic through the region. The surrounding Port Everglades and 17th Street Causeway corridor already see heavy commercial traffic, and parking options near the convention center are limited to surface lots and the Pier 66 garage, which fill quickly during large shows.
A Fort Lauderdale corporate charter bus keeps your attendees on schedule — shuttling between downtown hotel blocks on SE 17th Street, the Las Olas corridor, and the convention center without anyone hunting for a parking spot or navigating the 17th Street Causeway on foot. For executive VIP transfers between FLL, downtown hotels, and Port Everglades embarkation terminals, a Sprinter van or 14-passenger Sprinter limo handles it cleanly. Multi-day convention contracts and fleet bookings are both available through the network — call 833-458-7001 to discuss a custom corporate package.
Private Group Events and Charter Bus Rentals in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale's event calendar puts serious pressure on ground transportation at a few predictable points. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (late October/early November) is the largest in-water boat show in the world — drawing visitors to venues spread across the waterfront, including the Broward County Convention Center, Bahia Mar, Hall of Fame Marina, and Pier 66. The show's venues are connected by water taxi and a land shuttle circuit, but those lines run long during peak hours.
A private charter bus locks in your group's movement across show venues without waiting in a public shuttle queue.
The Tortuga Music Festival (Fort Lauderdale Beach, April) brings three days of country and rock acts to the beach, with A1A closing to through traffic and no official festival parking. A private Fort Lauderdale party bus rental drops your group at the festival perimeter and picks up at the end of the night — skipping the post-show parking lot gridlock on A1A entirely. For family reunions, church retreats, or multi-venue day trips, the private event transportation page covers the full range of options.
Call 833-458-7001 to get a quote built around your specific event.
Fort Lauderdale Prom and Homecoming Party Bus Rentals
Broward County high schools — including St. Thomas Aquinas, Dillard, Fort Lauderdale High, and dozens more across the district — hold proms and homecomings within a tight spring window, typically late April through mid-May. That concentration means every party bus and minibus in the Fort Lauderdale area gets claimed within the same 4–6 week stretch. Prom-night rentals here book out faster than almost any other occasion all year.
For prom: book by January or expect higher pricing and availability risk. Waiting until March or April is a gamble — the vehicle you want at the price you want may simply be gone. Partybus-rental.net makes it easy to compare options early, lock in your date, and not think about it again.
A 20- to 30-passenger party bus with LED lighting and sound is the standard for most Fort Lauderdale prom groups; minibuses work well for tighter headcounts that need the comfort without the party-bus format. Call 833-458-7001 to check what's available on your date — and check out the prom party bus guide for tips on timing and what to look for.
Fort Lauderdale School and Field Trip Bus Rentals
Broward County schools and after-school programs have no shortage of field trip destinations within an easy bus ride. Museum of Discovery and Science (401 SW 2nd St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312) in the heart of downtown is one of the most visited school field trip destinations in South Florida — but downtown Fort Lauderdale has no easy drop-off for large vehicles on weekday mornings, and street parking near Andrews Avenue is commercial and metered. The museum's loading zone on SW 2nd Street handles bus drop-offs; it's worth confirming access with the venue ahead of your visit.
Everglades Holiday Park (21940 Griffin Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33332) is a popular destination for environmental education trips just 20 minutes west of downtown, and IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum (300 Gulf Stream Way, Dania Beach, FL 33004) makes a great half-day stop for science and ecology groups. A Fort Lauderdale charter bus keeps students together, eliminates the carpooling coordination, and puts TV screens and overhead storage to work on the ride. ADA-accessible buses are available through the network — mention it when you request your quote.
Call 833-458-7001 or visit the school event bus rental page to get started.
Fort Lauderdale Sporting Event Charter Bus Rentals
The Florida Panthers play at Amerant Bank Arena (1 Panther Pkwy, Sunrise, FL 33323) — a 19,250-seat arena in Sunrise, roughly 12 miles west of downtown Fort Lauderdale via I-595. On-site parking is available in numbered lots surrounding the arena, with the closest lots (Lots 1–4) typically priced at $20–$30 and filling 90 minutes before puck drop on playoff nights. Post-game exit on Panther Parkway toward University Drive backs up significantly — groups driving themselves routinely sit 30–45 minutes in the lot before clearing the complex.
A Fort Lauderdale charter bus to Amerant Bank Arena changes the math entirely: your group arrives together, pregame energy builds on the ride out, and the bus is ready at the designated commercial pickup zone when the final buzzer sounds — no sitting in a parking lot. Inter Miami CF at Chase Stadium (1350 NW 55th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309) is another popular group destination, with on-site parking selling out fast on match days and rideshare demand spiking post-game. Check the sporting event transportation page for more on group game-day logistics, or call 833-458-7001 to set up your Fort Lauderdale sports bus.
Fort Lauderdale Wedding Shuttle Bus and Transportation Services
Fort Lauderdale's wedding venue circuit spans waterfront properties, historic estates, and beach-adjacent hotels — and the geographic spread between them is exactly where wedding transportation earns its keep. Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina (2301 SE 17th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) sits on the Intracoastal and draws strong demand from hotel-block guests who need a clean transfer to ceremony venues further inland or up the coast. The 17th Street Causeway sees heavy traffic on weekend evenings, and valet-only venues like Pier Sixty-Six make self-parking impractical for large guest counts.
Bonnet House Museum & Gardens (900 N Birch Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304) is a sought-after ceremony venue on the beach side, with limited on-site parking — a Fort Lauderdale wedding minibus or shuttle running a continuous loop from a nearby hotel block eliminates guest parking stress entirely. A Sprinter limo handles bridal party transport on the wedding day itself. Because Partybus-rental.net covers the full Broward County area, multi-venue wedding weekends — rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception at different locations — can be handled in one quote.
Visit the wedding transportation page or call 833-458-7001 to plan your shuttle circuit.
Fort Lauderdale Brewery Tours and Pub Crawl Bus Rentals
Broward County's craft beer scene is genuinely worth a dedicated tour day. Civis Brewing Co. (1717 E Commercial Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33334) in the Commercial Boulevard corridor is a local favorite with a strong rotating tap list. Hunahpu's Brewing doesn't operate out of Fort Lauderdale, but closer to home, Funky Buddha Brewery (1201 NE 38th St, Oakland Park, FL 33334) — one of Florida's most recognized craft brewers — offers tours and tasting flights just north of Fort Lauderdale city limits.
Combine it with a stop at Barrel of Monks Brewing (1819 SW 31st Ave, Boynton Beach, FL 33435) for a longer South Florida brewery run, or stay local and round out the evening at one of the craft cocktail bars on Las Olas Boulevard.
A Fort Lauderdale pub crawl party bus rental keeps the whole group together between stops and takes the navigation off everyone's plate. Parking at brewery taprooms along Commercial Boulevard and Oakland Park Boulevard is limited on weekend afternoons, and the proximity of stops to residential neighborhoods makes self-driving a genuine issue. Call 833-458-7001 to build a custom itinerary quote for your group's tour day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fortlauderdale Party Bus Rentals
How does this website work?
Partybus-rental.net helps you compare bus rental options; it is not the bus company and does not rent, own, or operate vehicles. When you submit the quote form, your trip details go through a booking company so you can review pricing and available vehicles for your date. You compare the options and book through the process shown with your quote.
How much does a party bus cost in Fort Lauderdale, Florida?
Fort Lauderdale party bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, date, and hours needed. General ranges: Sprinter limos and vans run $125–$250/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $175–$325/hour; 20–30 passenger buses run $225–$400/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $275–$475/hour; and full-size 40–56 passenger charter buses run $130–$275/hour or roughly $1,100–$2,200/day. Those figures shift with demand — Tortuga Festival weekend, boat show week, and prom season (April–May) all push rates up and drain availability fast.
The quote for your specific trip comes from the quote form or a call to 833-458-7001. You can have a quote in about a minute.
What is Partybus-rental.net?
Partybus-rental.net is a quote-comparison website for group ground transportation. It's not a bus company and it doesn't provide transportation itself — it connects you to pricing and vehicles from a large network of bus companies serving Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas, so you can compare options in one place instead of calling company after company. The fact that it's not a single operator is the whole point: you get a much wider range of vehicle types, sizes, and prices than any one fleet could offer.
Where do charter buses park at Amerant Bank Arena for Florida Panthers games?
Amerant Bank Arena (1 Panther Pkwy, Sunrise, FL 33323) has on-site surface lots surrounding the building, with close-in lots (Lots 1–4) priced at roughly $20–$30 for most events. Charter and commercial buses generally use a designated drop-off area accessible from Panther Parkway — confirm the current commercial vehicle staging area with the arena's event operations team before game day, as large-event logistics can shift. Post-game, Panther Parkway toward University Drive backs up 30–45 minutes after a full house.
Check the official Amerant Bank Arena parking and directions page for current guidance before your event date.
How does a bus drop off at Port Everglades for a cruise?
Port Everglades (1850 Eller Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world and handles embarkation days with a specific terminal approach system. Each cruise line's terminal has a designated passenger drop-off lane. The critical step: confirm your exact terminal number with your cruise line before embarkation morning, because Port Everglades has multiple active cruise terminals and the approach roads inside the port branch quickly.
Charter buses enter via the port's main gate off Spangler Blvd, follow cruise ship signage, and pull to the curbside passenger drop-off zone at the specific terminal. Review the official Port Everglades terminal map and directions page ahead of time.
Can a charter bus get to Hard Rock Stadium from Fort Lauderdale for Dolphins games?
Yes — Hard Rock Stadium (1 Hard Rock Stadium Way, Miami Gardens, FL 33056) is about 30 miles south of downtown Fort Lauderdale via I-95, roughly 35–50 minutes depending on game-day traffic. The drive south on I-95 gets congested starting 2–3 hours before kickoff. On-site parking at Hard Rock Stadium requires prepaid passes, and rideshare pickup post-game is in remote Lot 44 at Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex — an estimated 25-minute walk from the gates.
A Fort Lauderdale charter bus drops your group at a stadium-adjacent commercial zone and handles the post-game ride home without that walk. Check the Hard Rock Stadium parking page for current commercial vehicle guidance and lot assignments before your game date.
What's the best bus size for a Fort Lauderdale bachelorette party?
Most Fort Lauderdale bachelorette groups run 12–25 people, which puts a 20-passenger or 25-passenger party bus in the right range. If your headcount is closer to 10–14, a Sprinter limo or van keeps things intimate and is easier to stage on Las Olas Boulevard's tighter side streets. If the group grows past 30, a 40-passenger party bus gives everyone room to move.
The key factor beyond headcount is amenities — if the bus itself is part of the experience (LED lighting, sound system, bar area), go party bus. If the priority is comfort and easy transfers between venues, a minibus or Sprinter works well. Call 833-458-7001 and a support agent can help you match the vehicle to your itinerary.
How far in advance should I book a party bus in Fort Lauderdale?
For most dates, 4–8 weeks of lead time gives you solid vehicle selection and competitive pricing. For Fort Lauderdale's high-demand windows, book significantly earlier: prom season (April–May) books out across Broward County by January or February — waiting until March means availability risk and higher rates. Tortuga Music Festival weekend (April) and Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (late October/early November) both spike demand sharply.
New Year's Eve vehicles are often claimed by October. If your date falls near any of these, call 833-458-7001 as soon as your headcount is set. The earlier you lock it in, the better your price and the better your options.
Popular Fortlauderdale Party Bus Destinations
Fort Lauderdale and Broward County cover a lot of ground — from the beach strip and Las Olas to Sunrise arenas and Port Everglades cruise terminals. Below are six destinations groups book transportation to most often, with the logistics that actually matter for each one. Your destination doesn't need to be on this list; buses in the network go anywhere in the region.
Amerant Bank Arena
Amerant Bank Arena (1 Panther Pkwy, Sunrise, FL 33323) seats 19,250 and hosts Florida Panthers games, major concerts, and arena-level touring acts throughout the year. The arena sits at the intersection of Panther Parkway and University Drive in Sunrise — about 12 miles west of downtown Fort Lauderdale via I-595. On-site parking in surface lots runs $20–$30 for most events, with close-in lots filling 60–90 minutes before a sellout show.
Post-event exit on Panther Parkway is the consistent bottleneck: traffic backs onto University Drive for up to 45 minutes after a full house. A charter bus drops your group curbside in the commercial vehicle zone on arrival and is positioned for pickup when the event ends — no parking cost, no post-show gridlock. Confirm current commercial vehicle drop-off location with the arena before your event.
Review the official parking and directions page ahead of time. Phone: (954) 835-7000.
Port Everglades Cruise Terminals
Port Everglades (1850 Eller Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) is a major cruise port with more than 4 million passengers sailing annually. The port operates multiple active cruise terminals throughout the property — each with a separate approach road and curbside drop-off lane. Cruise line terminal assignments can change, so always confirm your specific terminal with the cruise line before embarkation day.
Long-term parking at the port garage runs roughly $22/day per vehicle — for a group of 15 taking a 7-night cruise, that's $2,310 in parking alone before the first port of call. A charter bus from a Broward County hotel drops your group curbside at the correct terminal, with luggage handled right there. Review the official terminal map for current access details.
Phone: (954) 523-3404.
Las Olas Boulevard
Las Olas Boulevard runs roughly 1.5 miles through the heart of Fort Lauderdale, from Andrews Avenue east toward the Intracoastal Waterway, and it's the city's highest-concentration nightlife and dining corridor. Popular group stops include Stache (109 SW 2nd Ave), a prohibition-era cocktail bar with a live music lineup; S3 Sun Sea Sand (3000 E Sunrise Blvd) for waterfront dining; Tarpon Bend (200 SW 2nd St); and Yolo (333 E Las Olas Blvd) for late-night dining. On Friday and Saturday nights, metered street parking on Las Olas fills early and meters run until 11 PM, with the blocks closest to Andrews enforced heavily.
Residential permit zones begin just off the boulevard, making illegal parking a real risk. A party bus stages nearby on SE 3rd Ave or Andrews during stops, and the group moves venue to venue without the parking scramble at each one. Book well ahead for New Year's Eve and holiday weekends — demand on Las Olas is heavy and predictable.
Fort Lauderdale Beach and A1A Strip
Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard (A1A) stretches from the 17th Street Causeway north through the beach district and into Lauderdale-by-the-Sea — one of the most visited stretches of South Florida shoreline. The Elbo Room (241 S Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd) has anchored the beach bar scene since 1938 and stays busy past midnight on weekends. Beachside parking on A1A is metered, time-limited during daytime hours, and essentially nonexistent during Tortuga Music Festival weekend (April) and spring break (March), when the city deploys event perimeter closures and A1A narrows to a single lane in both directions for several blocks.
A party bus drops the group at the beach strip entrance and handles the end-of-night ride home without anyone navigating those closures in the dark. For groups combining beach time with evening stops, a minibus keeps the schedule flexible without requiring the group to track down parking at every location.

Museum of Discovery and Science
The Museum of Discovery and Science (401 SW 2nd St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312) is a science and technology museum in the heart of downtown, with interactive exhibits, a science park, and an IMAX theater. School and group admission runs $14–$20 per person depending on programming, with the IMAX adding to that. The museum's main entrance faces SW 2nd Street, and bus drop-off is on SW 2nd St at the front of the building — but the surrounding streets are a mix of one-ways and commercial metered zones, and arriving during the downtown morning rush (8–9:30 AM) on a school day adds 10–15 minutes to the approach.
Confirm current group drop-off access with the museum's group sales office before your visit. For charter buses carrying 40+ students, confirming the loading zone in advance avoids any curbside delay. Phone: (954) 467-6637.
Broward County Convention Center
The Broward County Convention Center (1950 Eisenhower Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) is South Florida's largest convention facility — the Convention Center East expansion and new headquarters hotel opened in 2025, adding a 65,000-square-foot ballroom, a new hotel tower, and additional meeting space. The convention center sits on the 17th Street Causeway corridor, flanked by Port Everglades to the east and the Intracoastal to the north — a geography that means every arrival and departure routes through one of two chokepoints (17th Street Causeway or SE 17th St). During large shows, the nearby Pier 66 garage and convention center surface lots fill within hours of doors opening.
Charter buses use the Washington Street-side commercial approach on Eisenhower Blvd for drop-off; confirm current large-vehicle access with the BCCC event team for your specific show. Convention shuttle circuits running between the convention center and downtown hotel blocks on SE 17th Street and the Las Olas corridor are a common multi-day corporate booking. Phone: (954) 765-5900.
