Ultra Music Festival descends on Bayfront Park (301 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132) every March, drawing 165,000 attendees from more than 100 countries across three days of non-stop electronic music. The festival spreads across seven stages — the Main Stage, RESISTANCE, the Megastructure, the Worldwide Stage, the Live Stage, the Cove, and more — and it shuts down a significant chunk of downtown Miami in the process. Northbound Biscayne Boulevard gets rerouted at Southeast 1st Street.

Rideshare surge pricing spikes from the moment midnight sets end on Friday and Saturday, with waits stretching 40 minutes or more while 165,000 fans compete for the same cars. Parking in any lot within walking distance is either nonexistent or astronomically priced by Thursday afternoon.

This guide is built for the person organizing a group — the one texting the crew about logistics while everyone else is just buying tickets. It covers the real drop-off situation at Bayfront Park, how the road closures work and which routes still move during festival days, what a Miami party bus rental costs and which vehicle fits which group, and how to build a Miami Music Week itinerary that doesn't strand you in South Beach at 2 a.m. waiting for a surge-priced rideshare that never shows. Miami Party Bus runs these festival pickups every year — the advice below comes from doing it, not from a festival brochure.

Why Ultra Is a Logistics Problem Without a Plan

Most festival transportation guides describe getting to a festival. Ultra requires something closer to getting through a city that has deliberately closed its main artery to move you out. Biscayne Boulevard — the spine of downtown Miami, the road that runs right past Bayfront Park's front gate — goes into restricted mode beginning Thursday night of festival weekend and stays that way through Monday morning.

Northbound traffic is rerouted to the southbound lanes at Southeast 1st Street. Southbound traffic is detoured westbound at Northeast 6th Street, with vehicles pushed onto Northeast 2nd Avenue or North Miami Avenue to continue south. The practical effect: if you don't know the detour grid, GPS will tell you to turn onto a road that is no longer open in the direction you need.

Add the crowd math and it compounds quickly. On Friday night when the last midnight sets end, you have tens of thousands of people all simultaneously trying to leave a park bordered on one side by Biscayne Bay and on the other by closed roads. Rideshare surge pricing during that window is not occasional — it's structural.

The MacArthur Causeway from South Beach backs up. The I-395 ramp at NE 5th Street, which remains the recommended route to the Port of Miami Tunnel, gets clogged with festival traffic mixing with late-night Brickell traffic. And for a group of 15 or 25 people, that's not just one rideshare problem — it's eight to ten separate rideshare problems, each compounded by a different car's ETA and a different pickup pin.

A Miami party bus rental solves this entirely differently. Your group waits at a pre-confirmed pickup point, boards one vehicle, and the route home is taken care of — not negotiated in real time through an app at 12:30 a.m. on Biscayne Boulevard.

Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne Blvd — the 32-acre waterfront home of Ultra Music Festival, bordered by Biscayne Bay to the east and Biscayne Boulevard to the west. Road closures convert the surrounding blocks into pedestrian zones from Thursday night through Monday morning.

Drop-Off and Pickup at Bayfront Park: The Real Logistics

Here is the part that actually matters for planning — and the part most party bus pages get vague about.

Bayfront Park sits on the waterfront with its main entrance facing west onto Biscayne Boulevard. Because Biscayne Boulevard's northbound lanes are rerouted at SE 1st Street during festival days, and southbound traffic is turned westbound at NE 6th Street, a bus approaching from the south on Biscayne uses the remaining southbound traffic flow as far as the corridor allows, then waits on adjacent streets near the park perimeter. The practical drop-off corridor is along NE 2nd Avenue or the NE 1st Street block east of Biscayne, within a short walk of the park's pedestrian entry points.

The exact approved perimeter depends on how Miami Police have set up the specific event-day plan — which is exactly why we confirm your drop point and pickup window when you book, rather than citing a static curb address that may or may not be accessible on your specific day.

What you need to know as the organizer: festival entry points face Biscayne Boulevard and the north/south perimeter of the park. Once the bus reaches the closest cleared street, the walk to the gate is short — measured in a block or two, not a 25-minute hike through a parking lot. That's the real difference between getting a bus to the park perimeter and getting dropped at a remote rideshare zone.

The coordination detail that matters most: set your pickup time and staging point before you go in, not when you're walking out at midnight. With road closures converting surrounding blocks into a pedestrian zone after festival hours, the bus waits on the nearest cleared street and your group walks the final block out to it. That handoff is seamless when it's pre-arranged — and a 20-minute scramble when it isn't.

We sort this out when you book so your group has a specific corner and a specific time, not "somewhere on Biscayne."

The Rideshare Reality at Midnight

For context on why the pickup coordination matters so much: Uber and Lyft warn attendees to expect long waits and surge pricing at the end of Ultra's nightly sets. On Friday and Saturday when the festival runs until midnight, 165,000 people don't leave simultaneously — but a very large percentage try to leave in the same 30-minute window when the headliner closes. Standard rideshare pickup for the park area is pushed to zones several blocks away, partly because the immediate Biscayne Boulevard perimeter is restricted.

For a group of 20, booking eight separate rideshares at midnight and coordinating them to a surge-priced zone is the version of this night you're trying to avoid. One bus, one staging point, one predictable fare.

Miami Music Week: The Full Picture

Ultra is three days. Miami Music Week is six. The broader festival runs March 24–29, 2026, with more than 200 events sprawling across nightclubs, hotel pools, rooftops, warehouses, and open-air spaces throughout South Florida.

Understanding the full week is useful because your group is almost certainly not just attending the festival gates — and because a party bus rental for the full week, rather than a single night, is both more economical and far less logistically painful than rebooking rideshares nightly.

The major venue clusters where MMW events concentrate:

  • Club Space (34 NE 11th St, Miami, FL 33132) — the 24-hour techno club north of Bayfront Park, legendary for marathon sets that start after Ultra closes and run through sunrise. During MMW, Space hosts some of the week's most sought-after events, drawing headliners who aren't on the main Bayfront Park lineup.
  • Wynwood — the Toe Jam Backlot (Beatport Live's touring stage, The Block) and surrounding venues host label showcases and open-air events March 26–29. A party bus covers the circuit from Brickell to Wynwood to Bayfront Park without parking logistics at every stop.
  • Moxy South Beach and hotel pool decks along Collins Avenue — the daytime pool party circuit during MMW draws separate crowds from the festival itself. The MacArthur Causeway is already backed up during festival weekend; a bus crosses it once instead of your group paying surge fares four times.
  • Jungle Island (1111 Parrot Jungle Trail, Miami, FL 33132) — open-air showcases during MMW including major label events, a 15-minute ride from Brickell that becomes a 45-minute rideshare scramble on festival nights.

The group that's bouncing between a Brickell hotel, a Wynwood showcase, and Bayfront Park in a single evening is exactly who a 3-day festival itinerary works best for on a party bus. You set the stops, we handle the routing.

Bus vs. the Alternatives for an Ultra Group

Ultra's official transportation guidance points attendees toward the Metromover — the free elevated transit system with stops at Bayfront Park Station, First Street Station, and College/Bayside Station — and the Metrorail for arrivals from further south. Miami-Dade Transit extends hours during festival weekend, running Metrorail and Metromover through 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. That's a genuinely functional option for one or two people who are staying near a Metromover stop.

For a group, here's the honest comparison:

Option Works for groups? Cost shape Midnight exit Best for
Private party bus / charter bus Yes — everyone in one vehicle One flat rate, split by the group Pre-staged pickup, no surge Groups of 15–56
Metromover + Metrorail Only if everyone stays together Free Metromover; Metrorail per-ticket Crowded trains, limited capacity with big groups Solo or 1–2 people near a stop
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) No — fragments into multiple cars Per car + surge at midnight = 3–4x normal 30–45 min waits, displaced pickup zone 1–4 people, not a group
Driving + parking No — everyone needs a sober return Gas per car + $40–$60 lot prices near downtown Biscayne Blvd closure detour; lot exits gridlocked Groups of 1–2 cars max
Brightline Only if everyone came from north Per ticket from Aventura / Fort Lauderdale / WPB Train-dependent, need ground transport at both ends Individuals from Broward or Palm Beach

The honest read: for one or two people staying within a few blocks of a Metromover stop, the free train is the right call. But the moment your group is 8, 12, 20 people — especially if you're coming from South Beach, Brickell, Wynwood, or any hotel that isn't directly on the Metromover Inner Loop — a Miami party bus rental is both the better logistics solution and, once you split the fare, often cheaper per head than the surge-pricing math.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Ultra Group?

Not every festival group needs the same thing. A crew of 12 doing the full Miami Music Week bar-and-venue circuit has different needs than a 45-person corporate group shuttle to and from the festival gates. Here's how the fleet breaks down for an Ultra weekend:

Vehicle Capacity Best for Key amenities
14-passenger Sprinter limo Up to ~14 VIP crews, small friend groups, hotel-to-festival runs Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows
Party bus (15–50 passengers) ~15–50 Friend groups doing the full MMW circuit, bachelorette groups hitting Ultra Built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, wraparound seating
15–35 passenger minibus ~15–35 Corporate groups, organized fan groups, hotel-to-festival shuttles Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage
40–56 passenger charter bus Up to 56 Large corporate delegations, convention groups, multi-hotel block shuttles Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays

The party bus is the natural fit for most Ultra friend groups: the pregame energy gets going the moment you leave the hotel, the built-in bar means no scrambling for drinks on the way over, and the LED lighting and Bluetooth sound keep the mood up between venues. For the bachelorette group that's doing the Ultra Saturday main stage plus a Club Space after-party, a 20- or 25-passenger party bus covers the whole arc of the evening without anyone worrying about who's calling rideshares at 3 a.m.

For corporate delegations or organized group tours, the minibus or full charter bus is the comfortable, practical choice — climate-controlled cabin, WiFi for quick check-ins, and a large enough vehicle to move the whole group in one shot from the hotel block to the festival perimeter. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available; just let us know your needs in advance and we'll arrange the right fit.

Party Bus Rental Prices for Ultra Weekend

Miami Party Bus offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact price before you ever book. Ultra weekend is one of the highest-demand transportation windows in the South Florida calendar, and pricing reflects that. Here's the honest picture of what shapes your quote:

  • Vehicle size — a 14-passenger Sprinter and a 50-passenger party bus are different rates.
  • Total hours — a 3-hour hotel-to-park-to-hotel run is priced differently than a full evening that covers a Wynwood pre-party, the main stage set, and a Club Space after-party.
  • Date — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of Ultra weekend are peak demand dates. The same vehicle on Monday costs substantially less.
  • Pickup location — a Brickell hotel is a shorter run than South Beach across the MacArthur Causeway, which factors into the quote.

For real ranges to anchor your planning: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Ultra weekend rates are at the higher end of those ranges — but split across 20 or 30 people, the per-head number routinely beats five to eight separate surge-priced rideshares each way.

The cost point that usually settles it: a group of 25 people paying $5 per head for a bus ride each way is paying $250 total for two legs. During Ultra's midnight exit window, 25 rideshare rides at surge pricing cost several times that, arrive at different times, and leave people stranded at a displaced pickup zone in the dark. Call 305-507-0446 for a free, all-inclusive quote for your Ultra weekend.

A Real Festival-Night Example

Here's how one of our recent Ultra weekend runs looked. A 28-person friend group staying at a Brickell hotel booked a 30-passenger party bus for the full Saturday circuit. Pickup at 6:00 PM from their hotel — pregame on the bus with the bar running — drop at the festival perimeter near the NE 2nd Avenue approach by 7:15 PM, well ahead of the 8 PM headliner.

Post-festival pickup was pre-confirmed for 12:45 AM at a staging point two blocks from the park exit, which kept the group together rather than splitting into Uber pools on a surge-priced midnight block. The bus then made one stop at Club Space to drop the night-owls and returned the rest to the hotel by 1:45 AM. 8-hour all-inclusive rental: $2,800 (~$100/person). Compare that to 8 separate Uber XLs at midnight surge, plus the coordination effort — and the math is clear.

How Road Closures Affect Your Approach and Exit

The road closure architecture during Ultra is not just traffic inconvenience — it's a full remapping of the downtown Miami street grid for four days. According to NBC 6's 2026 coverage and WLRN's traffic advisory, closures begin Thursday night at approximately 9 p.m. and remain in effect through Monday morning at around 7 a.m. Here is what that means for group transportation specifically:

  • Northbound Biscayne Boulevard is rerouted to the southbound lanes at Southeast 1st Street, returning to normal flow at Northeast 4th Street. Any vehicle approaching from the south on Biscayne needs to plan for this diversion.
  • Southbound Biscayne Boulevard is cut off entirely from NE 6th Street southward. Traffic is diverted westbound at NE 6th Street, continuing south on NE 2nd Avenue or North Miami Avenue.
  • Port of Miami access remains available via NE 5th Street, though officials recommend using the Port of Miami Tunnel via I-395 to avoid congestion — useful to know if your group is connecting to or from PortMiami during festival weekend.

The approach route that works consistently for festival groups coming from South Beach is the MacArthur Causeway to NE 2nd Avenue southbound, staging near the park's northern pedestrian access. From Brickell, the Brickell Avenue corridor feeding into SE 2nd Avenue northbound is the cleaner approach before the closure zone begins. We confirm your specific routing for your exact pickup location when you book — because the closure perimeter shifts slightly based on police deployment each day, and a route that works at 5 PM on Friday may be differently managed at midnight on Saturday.

Where Your Group Is Staying — and What That Changes

Hotel location during Ultra weekend isn't just a preference question — it determines how complex your transportation logistics become. The three major hotel clusters that Ultra groups use:

Downtown Miami / Brickell. The closest option to Bayfront Park — Brickell runs along SE Brickell Avenue and 8th Street south of the festival, while downtown puts you within walking distance of the park's main entrance in normal conditions. The advantage for group transportation: a Brickell pickup is a short run to the festival perimeter, and the return trip doesn't cross any causeways.

The InterContinental Miami and the Elser Hotel & Residences are the closest major hotel properties to the park gates, both within the walking zone on non-closure days.

South Beach / Collins Avenue. More hotel inventory, more festival energy in the neighborhood — but the MacArthur Causeway becomes the chokepoint. On festival nights, especially when events on both sides of the bay are releasing crowds simultaneously, causeway gridlock is predictable.

A party bus crosses the causeway once in each direction and gets your group where it needs to be instead of making eight round trips.

Wynwood. The arts district north of downtown along NW 2nd Avenue and NW 24th Street hosts its own MMW events at venues like Toe Jam Backlot, making Wynwood both a hotel base and a stop on your itinerary. A 15-minute bus ride connects Wynwood to the festival perimeter via NW 2nd Avenue southbound — without the causeway problem and without Biscayne's closure complications.

Whatever your hotel cluster, the party bus pickup and drop-off is coordinated to your specific address. You don't navigate the detour grid. Your group loads, the route is taken care of, and your first Ultra set starts the moment you board.

Booking Your Ultra Bus: Timing and What to Confirm

Ultra is one of the highest-demand weekends on the South Florida party bus calendar. GA 3-day tickets for 2026 were reported at 90% sold out during the sales cycle, which is a proxy for how the transportation supply behaves — when the festival is this in-demand, the right vehicles for the right nights go fast. For Ultra weekend specifically: book by January if you want a party bus at a competitive rate for Friday or Saturday night.

Waiting until March typically means premium pricing or no availability in the right vehicle size.

When you book with Miami Party Bus, here's what we lock in with you:

  1. Vehicle and capacity. Sized right for your headcount so you're not paying for empty seats or cramming into a vehicle that's too small.
  2. Pickup location and timing. Hotel address, pickup time, and a pre-festival buffer so you're not rushing to make the opening set.
  3. Drop-off zone for that specific event day. The Bayfront Park perimeter access varies by Miami Police staging — we confirm the current plan, not a static address from last year's closure map.
  4. Post-festival staging point and pickup time. The single most important piece. This is what keeps your group together at midnight instead of drifting across a surge-priced rideshare zone.
  5. Multi-stop itinerary if needed. Wynwood showcase at 9 PM, main stage at 11 PM, Club Space pickup at 3 AM — we build the route around your evening.

Call 305-507-0446 to discuss your Ultra weekend dates and lock in your vehicle.

Ultra's Bag Policy and What to Know at the Gate

A few practical details that affect your group's entry experience — worth knowing before you arrive:

  • Clear bag policy is strictly enforced. Per Ultra's official clear bag policy, only clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags not exceeding 13”×17” are permitted — plus small clutch bags approximately the size of a hand, hydration packs (empty on entry), and fanny packs. No backpacks, no non-clear purses. If you're unsure whether a bag qualifies, Ultra's website offers a photo submission form for pre-event guidance.
  • TSA-style security at entry. Every attendee is subject to a pat-down and bag inspection — the entry queue for a 165,000-person festival runs long on peak days. Budget 20–30 minutes for entry from the perimeter during peak hours, particularly Saturday afternoon when the full-day crowd arrives simultaneously.
  • No outside food, drinks, or sealed containers. The standard festival rule applies. Whatever doesn't go into a clear bag gets left at the gate.
  • Re-entry policy. Ultra's policy on same-day re-entry varies; check the official health & safety page before your visit, as going out and coming back in resets the security queue.

The practical implication for party bus groups: keep your bag contents clean on the way over. The bus can hold extra gear, non-compliant bags, or anything that won't make it past the security checkpoint — which means you arrive at the gate with exactly what you need and nothing you'll be turned away for.

Building a Miami Music Week Itinerary by Bus

If your group is doing more than just the three festival days, Miami Music Week's 200+ events give you a circuit worth planning around. Here are three group itinerary patterns that work well with a party bus setup:

The Full Week Circuit. Arrive Tuesday or Wednesday, start with a Beatport pool party at Moxy South Beach Tuesday afternoon, hit the Wynwood label showcase events Wednesday and Thursday, and use the party bus for Friday through Sunday festival days. The bus takes care of the causeway crossings and club drops so nobody has to track down rideshares at the end of a Tuesday pool party.

The Festival + After-Party Loop. The Ultra main stage runs until midnight Friday and Saturday. Club Space (34 NE 11th St) starts its marathon sets when Ultra closes and runs until well past sunrise — within a 10-minute drive of Bayfront Park via NE 2nd Avenue.

A party bus that drops the group at the festival perimeter at 8 PM and waits for a midnight pickup, then runs to Club Space for the after-party and returns to the hotel at 4 or 5 AM, is the complete festival night in one vehicle.

The Daylight Saturday. Saturday is noon-to-midnight at Bayfront Park — an all-day run that pairs well with a Brickell or Wynwood lunch, afternoon festival sets, and a late-night Jungle Island or Wynwood showcase finish. A minibus takes care of the multi-stop run without the cost of a full party bus for a group that's prioritizing the festival over the onboard bar.

Coming From Out of Town: Airports and Arrival Day

Ultra draws 165,000 attendees from more than 100 countries, and a significant portion of your group may be flying into South Florida for the festival. The two airports serving the Miami metro:

Miami International Airport (MIA) (2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33142) sits about 8 miles northwest of Bayfront Park — roughly a 20-minute ride to downtown Miami in normal traffic, or 35 to 45 minutes during peak festival arrival days when the Palmetto Expressway and I-836/Dolphin Expressway feed into downtown's already-compressed grid. A bus from MIA picks up your arriving group at the designated commercial loading doors on the Arrivals level — Door 15 at the North Terminal, Doors 20, 24, and 26 at the Central Terminal, or Doors 31 and 34 at the South Terminal — and runs straight to the Brickell or South Beach hotel block, no rideshare coordination required for a group of 15 or 20 landing on the same flight.

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) (100 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) is about 30 miles north on I-95, drawing festival attendees who found better fares into Broward County. The I-95 southbound run into downtown Miami during festival weekend is predictably congested, which is the argument for getting everyone onto one bus at FLL rather than coordinating five separate rideshares into a city that's already at traffic capacity.

For Ultra weekend arrivals specifically: if half your group is landing Thursday and the other half Friday, a charter bus sweep that catches both groups at baggage claim and runs them to the hotel together cuts out the "who's still at the airport" text chain entirely. Call 305-507-0446 and we'll build the arrival-day logistics alongside the festival-night plan.

Ultra 2026: What You're Going to

For groups where not everyone has been to Ultra before, a quick orientation on what the festival actually is helps set expectations — and helps the bus conversation make more sense.

Ultra Music Festival started as a single-day event on Miami Beach in March 1999 and has grown into the global flagship of electronic dance music events, now drawing 165,000 attendees from over 100 countries across three days at Bayfront Park. The 2026 edition marks the festival's newly secured 20-year contract at Bayfront Park — meaning its downtown Miami home is locked in through at least the mid-2040s. The festival runs seven stages simultaneously: the Main Stage for the highest-profile headliners, RESISTANCE for deeper underground electronic acts, the Megastructure for the immersive indoor experience, the Worldwide Stage, the Live Stage, the Cove, and additional programming areas across the park's 32 waterfront acres.

The 2026 lineup featured artists including Carl Cox, Armin van Buuren, Eric Prydz, Hardwell, John Summit, DJ Snake, Major Lazer, Boris Brejcha, and BZRP, among 14 acts making their Ultra Miami debut. GA 3-day passes opened in tiered waves starting well below $500 and ran to $539+ by Tier 4, which was reported at 90% sold out — the festival's tiered pricing system means early buyers pay significantly less than last-minute buyers, the same logic that applies to party bus booking for peak festival nights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does a party bus drop off for Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park?

The bus approaches along NE 2nd Avenue or the NE 1st Street corridor near the park's western and northern perimeter, which remain accessible during the Biscayne Boulevard closure. The exact cleared street for drop-off depends on Miami Police's event-day setup for your specific date — we confirm the current drop point when you book, rather than citing a static curb address that may or may not be accessible by festival day.

Can a party bus pick me up at midnight when Ultra ends?

Yes — and this is exactly where a pre-arranged bus earns its keep. We confirm a staging point and pickup time with you before the festival, so the bus is waiting at a known corner when your group walks out rather than negotiating a surge-priced rideshare on a closed street. You set the pickup window; we make sure the bus is there.

How much does a party bus to Ultra cost in Miami?

Pricing for Ultra weekend party bus rentals in Miami depends on vehicle size, total hours, and your specific date. General ranges: 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour. Ultra weekend is peak demand, so rates are at the higher end of those ranges.

Call 305-507-0446 for an all-inclusive quote with no hidden costs.

When should I book a bus for Ultra Music Festival?

Book by January for Friday or Saturday night Ultra weekend. Demand for the right vehicle size on peak festival nights fills quickly — the same way Ultra's own tiered ticket pricing runs, the best bus availability goes early. Waiting until March typically means either premium pricing or limited options.

Once your group headcount is confirmed, that's the moment to lock in the vehicle.

Does the party bus drop us at Club Space after Ultra closes?

Yes. Club Space (34 NE 11th St) is a 10-minute bus ride from the Bayfront Park perimeter via NE 2nd Avenue — a natural stop when you're booking an evening that includes both the festival and the after-party. We build the multi-stop itinerary into your reservation: festival drop, midnight pickup, Club Space, and hotel return, all on one booking.

What roads close during Ultra Music Festival in Miami?

Closures begin Thursday night at approximately 9 p.m. and run through Monday morning. Northbound Biscayne Boulevard is rerouted to southbound lanes at SE 1st Street. Southbound Biscayne is closed from NE 6th Street south, with traffic diverted to NE 2nd Avenue or North Miami Avenue.

The Port of Miami Tunnel via I-395 is the recommended PortMiami access during festival days. We confirm your specific approach route based on your pickup location and the current day's closure perimeter.

Can we do pool parties and Wynwood events by bus during Miami Music Week?

That's exactly how most of our Miami Music Week bookings work. A party bus rental for the full week covers Moxy South Beach pool parties, Wynwood Toe Jam Backlot showcases, Bayfront Park festival days, and Club Space after-parties on a single rolling itinerary — without the causeway gridlock, the displaced rideshare pickup zones, or the midnight surge math at every stop.

What is Ultra Music Festival's bag policy?

Only clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags not exceeding 13”×17” are allowed, plus small hand-sized clutches, hydration packs (empty on entry), and fanny packs. No backpacks or non-clear bags. All attendees go through TSA-style security.

Check the official Ultra clear bag policy page before your visit for the most current guidance.

Can we fly into Fort Lauderdale and get a bus to Ultra?

Yes — a charter bus from FLL to your Brickell or South Beach hotel during festival weekend is one of our most common arrival-day runs. FLL is about 30 miles north on I-95, and festival-week traffic makes coordinating multiple separate rideshares into downtown Miami genuinely difficult. One bus picks the whole group up at baggage claim and runs straight to the hotel, no rideshare queue.
