Booking a Vonaride transfer from EYW
With Vonaride, the fare is agreed at booking, so you know the cost before you travel. Flight tracking means the driver follows your arrival and adjusts the pick-up time if your flight is early or delayed, which is useful on a small regional airport where schedules can shift. Drivers speak English, and a driver waits in the arrivals area holding a name sign, so you do not have to search for them. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before pick-up, free waiting time is included (its length is shown before you book), and 24/7 customer support is available if your plans change.

How to Get from Key West International Airport to Key West
The main ways to get from Key West International Airport to Key West are a taxi, a private transfer or a rental car. Each one reaches the island by road, because the Florida Keys have no passenger railway to Key West.
- Taxi: Taxis wait outside the terminal. This is the quickest option on arrival if you have only hand luggage and do not mind waiting for a vehicle.
- Private transfer: Pre-booked with a set fare, suited to larger groups, families or travellers with a lot of luggage.
- Rental car: Rental counters are at the airport. Driving gives you flexibility for trips beyond Old Town, but parking in the city can be limited.
Journey times depend on traffic and the time of day, so allow extra time during busy periods. The route runs from the airport across Boca Chica Key and onto the Overseas Highway into Key West.
Facilities and Services at Key West International Airport
Key West International Airport is a small airport, so its facilities are simpler than those at large hubs. You will find baggage claim, ticketing and rental car counters in the main building, along with the taxi and pick-up points outside.
For current details on shops, food, seating and assistance services, check the airport's own website before you travel. Arriving passengers who need help with bags or mobility can ask airport staff at the terminal for guidance.
Key West International Airport Terminals and Arrivals
Key West International Airport operates from one main terminal building, so arrivals, baggage reclaim and the ground transport areas are close together. Walking from the aircraft to baggage claim is usually short, which helps when you want to get moving quickly.
Once you have collected your bags, follow the signs to the exit and the ground transport area. If you have a pre-booked transfer, let your driver know your flight number and how many bags you have, so they can find you easily in the arrivals area.
Arriving in Key West: What to Know
Key West is a small island, and getting around on foot or by bicycle is common once you arrive. Old Town streets are narrow, and parking near the historic centre and Duval Street can be limited, so many visitors leave their car at their accommodation. The climate is warm and sunny for much of the year, so pack light clothing, sun protection and a light layer for air-conditioned spaces. Check the opening times and access arrangements for attractions in advance, as they can change with the season.
