Why this week is different
A week of fairs, openings and private events spread from South Beach to the Design District and Wynwood.
Venue. Miami Beach Convention Center and satellite fairs across the city.
Booking advice. This is an as-directed week: collectors and gallerists move between six or seven venues a day. Point-to-point booking does not work.
What we provide during Art Basel Miami Beach
- Airport meets on the peak arrival and departure days, with a greeter desk for larger programmes
- Executive sedans and SUVs for individual and small-group movement
- Sprinters that keep a delegation together between the venue, the hotel and the customer dinner
- Published-interval shuttle loops between hotel blocks and the venue, reinforced at the two peaks
- Hospitality staging for suites, offsites and after-parties with a curfew that is actually held
- Setup and teardown runs outside normal service hours for exhibitor crews
- Consolidated billing per programme, per exhibitor or per department
Getting around Miami that week
Miami runs two calendars. From December to April the city is full: Art Basel, the boat show, the Formula 1 weekend, the Open, the cruise season at its peak and a private aviation ramp at Opa-locka that is genuinely out of parking. From June to October it is quiet and inexpensive. Ground transportation prices and availability follow that curve exactly.
Local note. Art Basel week and the Grand Prix weekend both close roads and fill every SUV in the county. Cruise embarkation on a Saturday in season adds another few thousand vehicle movements on top.
If the city is sold out, the nearest alternatives are within driving range: Fort Lauderdale (about 40 minutes), Palm Beach (about 1.5 hours), Naples (about 2 hours). We run those legs as fixed-fare city-to-city transfers.

Questions
Art Basel Miami Beach: frequently asked
When is Art Basel Miami Beach held?
Usually in December, at Miami Beach Convention Center and satellite fairs across the city. Exact dates move year to year and are set by the organiser, so the desk confirms the published dates before quoting.
How far ahead should I book transportation for Art Basel Miami Beach?
This is an as-directed week: collectors and gallerists move between six or seven venues a day. Point-to-point booking does not work.
What vehicles are available during Art Basel Miami Beach?
Executive sedans and SUVs for individual travel, executive Sprinters for delegations of up to fourteen, and mini buses and motorcoaches for shuttle blocks. Availability in this week is genuinely finite, so the class you get is the class you booked early.
Do you run shuttles during Art Basel Miami Beach?
Yes — published-interval hotel-to-venue loops sized to your headcount, with vehicles added at the opening and closing peaks rather than run at full strength all day.
