Palm Beach is a short drive from its airport and a long way from most other airports, so the right car service depends on where you land. From President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT), the former Palm Beach International, Elly8.net drives you to Palm Beach island from US$135 in a Business Sedan to US$355 in an Executive Sprinter. From Fort Lauderdale (FLL), the same trip starts at US$370.
Rides in Palm Beach are operated by licensed, commercially insured local chauffeur partners vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network; Elly8.net takes the booking, fixes the price and runs the 24/7 desk. Each price includes the chauffeur, the vehicle, taxes, standard gratuity and airport meet and greet. Partner vehicles are four model years old or newer, or seven for Rolls-Royce, Maybach and Bentley.
What is the airport code for Palm Beach now, and what does a car cost?
Palm Beach's airport is now President Donald J. Trump International Airport, code DJT, formerly PBI. An Elly8.net car from DJT to Palm Beach island costs US$135 in a Business Sedan, US$180 in a Business SUV, US$220 in a First Class SUV, US$240 in a First Class Sedan and US$355 in an Executive Sprinter, fixed and all-in.
The name change is set by Florida law. According to the airport's name change FAQ, Governor Ron DeSantis signed the legislation on March 30, 2026, the new name took effect on July 9, 2026, and the passenger-facing IATA code changed from PBI to DJT on August 18, 2026. Airline apps and booking sites now show DJT, and you can still search for flights to West Palm Beach. If your confirmation shows PBI from an older booking, it is the same airport and our chauffeur meets you there.
The drive from DJT to Palm Beach island is about 6 mi (9 km), roughly 15 minutes on a clear road. In season, with bridge openings on the Intracoastal and lunch traffic around Royal Poinciana Way, the desk allows 25 to 30 minutes. A round trip is US$260 in a Business Sedan up to US$675 in an Executive Sprinter.
Airports that serve Palm Beach
| Airport | Distance to Palm Beach island | Clear-road drive | Elly8.net one way |
|---|---|---|---|
| President Donald J. Trump International (DJT) | about 6 mi (9 km) | about 15 min | US$135 to US$355 |
| Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) | about 51 mi (81 km) | about 65 min | US$370 to US$965 |
Arriving at DJT
DJT is close to the island, which makes pickups quick. Your chauffeur tracks the flight and waits inside arrivals with a name board, then walks you to the car. Complimentary waiting after a tracked landing covers a late arrival from New York or a slow bag belt on a Friday in season.
For comparison, the airport's own taxis and rideshare page explains that walk-up taxi, sedan, SUV and van service runs from the Ground Transportation desk outside the west end of Level 1, and that rideshare pickups are on the outer curb of Level 3. A walk-up taxi is a reasonable choice for one or two people with light bags on a short trip to the island. A pre-booked chauffeur is the better fit when you want someone waiting at arrivals, a specific vehicle, a child seat fitted, or an SUV for golf bags.
Flying private
Private and charter flights use DJT's general aviation side as well as smaller airports nearby. Give the desk your tail number and your FBO, and we meet you at the FBO or planeside where the operator allows. Our private jet and FBO car service page covers how those pickups work. When the President is in residence, temporary flight restrictions apply around the airport, per the airport's TFR page, so the desk confirms timing with your operator before the day.
Landing at FLL instead
Some travelers find better airfares into FLL. The ride north is about 51 mi (81 km), roughly 65 minutes on a clear road and longer on I-95 at rush hour. The Elly8.net price is fixed from US$370 in a Business Sedan to US$965 in an Executive Sprinter, and a round trip runs from US$705 to US$1,835. For context, Broward County's own taxi estimate from FLL to the West Palm Beach airport is about US$135, before the extra miles across to the island. Our Fort Lauderdale car service page has prices for stays in Broward.
Palm Beach island, street by street
Palm Beach rewards a chauffeur who knows the island's rhythm: valet lines at lunch, quiet residential lanes and narrow driveways.
- Worth Avenue. The shopping street and its via passages, a few blocks from the ocean. The Worth Avenue Association lists the shops and events. Hourly service keeps the car close while you browse, and the chauffeur handles the bags.
- The Breakers and the North End. The Breakers sits on the oceanfront north of Worth Avenue, with a long, busy entrance drive. Beyond it, the North End is residential and quiet.
- Royal Poinciana Way. Restaurants and shops near the bridges to West Palm Beach.
- South Ocean Boulevard. The estate stretch south of Worth Avenue, past Mar-a-Lago, the private club, and on toward Lake Worth Beach.
- West Palm Beach. Across the Intracoastal: Clematis Street, Flagler Drive, offices, galleries and the Kravis Center.
- Further afield. Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter to the north, Wellington's polo and equestrian season to the west, and Delray Beach and Boca Raton to the south. Use the web booker for any address.
Season, galas and Palm Beach events
Palm Beach's calendar runs on the winter season, when charity galas, private dinners and gallery openings fill the evenings. These are the next confirmed dates on the desk's planning list:
- Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival, December 10 to 13, 2026. Tastings and chef events, per the festival's site. Dinners end late and are spread out, so an evening out and event night car is the easy way to manage them.
- Palm Beach International Boat Show, March 17 to 21, 2027. Along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach, according to the show's official site. Traffic on Flagler Drive and the bridges is heavy all week.
- Performances at the Kravis Center. The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach hosts performances through the season, with busy curb lines at curtain time.
- The Norton. The Norton Museum of Art is a short drive across the bridge and a popular stop on a private tour.
For galas and private parties, see our event transportation page. The evening out and event night package runs from US$525 in a Business Sedan to US$1,050 in an Executive Sprinter, and the chauffeur waits for you at the venue. Chauffeurs follow Florida rules on what may be carried in the vehicle.
Hourly service, full days and private tours
Palm Beach days are rarely point to point. A morning on Worth Avenue, lunch on the island, an afternoon at a Wellington polo match and a dinner in West Palm Beach is one day, and an hourly chauffeur is the simplest way to cover it.
- By the hour, as directed: US$105 in a Business Sedan, US$135 in a Business SUV, US$160 in a First Class SUV, US$170 in a First Class Sedan and US$210 in an Executive Sprinter, per hour with a three-hour minimum.
- Full-day chauffeur: from US$775 in a Business Sedan to US$1,550 in an Executive Sprinter.
- Private city highlights tour: from US$420, a drive past the estates on South Ocean Boulevard, Worth Avenue, the Lake Trail side of the island and across to West Palm Beach. Our private city tours page explains how to plan the route.
Corporate travel and family offices
Executives, investors and family office principals visiting West Palm Beach and the island usually need more than an airport run. Our executive car service and corporate car service cover airport runs, meetings in West Palm Beach and client dinners on the island, with monthly invoicing on a corporate account. NDAs are available on request, and drivers are briefed on discretion.
For a day of meetings, the corporate roadshow day is fixed at US$945 in a Business Sedan up to US$1,890 in an Executive Sprinter. Hotels and concierges can book guests through a hotel account.
Weddings on the island
Oceanfront hotels, clubs and private estates host weddings through the season. Our wedding limousine service covers the couple's car, family cars and guest shuttles in Sprinters between hotels and the venue, timed to the ceremony and the send-off. For larger guest lists, ask the desk about multiple Executive Sprinters on a rolling loop.
Elly8.net vs taxi, rideshare and the train
An honest comparison for the DJT to Palm Beach island trip, and for travelers coming up from Miami or Fort Lauderdale:
| Option | Price | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elly8.net Business Sedan, DJT to island | US$135 fixed, all-in | about 15 min | Arrivals, fixed budget, a chauffeur waiting |
| Elly8.net Business Sedan, FLL to island | US$370 fixed, all-in | about 65 min | Cheaper flights into FLL, families |
| Walk-up taxi at DJT | metered | about 15 min | One or two people, light bags |
| Rideshare at DJT (Level 3 outer curb) | varies with demand | about 15 min | Off-peak, flexible plans |
| Tri-Rail to West Palm Beach station | train fare plus a ride to the island | longer, with a transfer | Day trips from Miami or Broward on a budget |
Public transport is a real option for some trips. The airport says Palm Tran buses stop on the outer curb of Level 1, and Tri-Rail connects West Palm Beach with Miami from its station on South Tamarind Avenue, according to DJT's public transportation page. For a solo traveler on a weekday, that can work well.
A chauffeur wins for evening arrivals, families with child seats, golf bags, galas where you need the car waiting, and any day with several stops. Our chauffeur vs taxi guide goes into the detail.

Yes. Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) was renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport by Florida law, effective July 9, 2026, and its IATA code changed to DJT on August 18, 2026. It is the same airport in West Palm Beach. Our chauffeurs meet you there whichever code appears on your ticket.

Where does my chauffeur meet me at DJT?
Inside arrivals, holding a name board, once you have your bags. We track your flight, so an early or late landing is handled automatically, with complimentary waiting after a tracked landing. The chauffeur then walks you to the car, so you do not need the walk-up desk on Level 1 or the rideshare curb on Level 3.

Yes. FLL to Palm Beach island is a fixed US$370 in a Business Sedan up to US$965 in an Executive Sprinter, about 65 minutes on a clear road. From Miami, or from any home, hotel or cruise terminal, the web booker gives a fixed price for each vehicle class before you pay.

Are child seats available?
Yes, child seats are available on request. Give the age and weight of each child when you book and the right seat will be fitted before pickup. For families with strollers or golf bags, a Business SUV or an Executive Sprinter gives everyone room without a second car.
What is the cancellation policy?
More than 72 hours before pickup, cancellation is free. At 72 hours or less the charge is 10 percent, at 48 hours or less 50 percent, and at 24 hours or less or for a no-show the full fare is charged. Refunds go back to the original card used for the booking.
