Rodlymo’s homestead car service covers Homestead with vetted, veteran-owned drivers on every ride. Contact us to book, or see our Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport transfer details below.
Chauffeur work in Homestead is measured in hours, not miles. That is the whole difference between this city and every other one we serve.
Homestead is the second-oldest city in Miami-Dade, incorporated in 1913. It is also the designated gateway to two national parks and a working agricultural district. The city is also the last mainland staging point before the Florida Keys. Rodlymo is veteran-owned. Our Sprinters and Escalades fit the work here: families, small groups, coolers, camera bags and a long day.
Rodlymo’s homestead car service keeps every ride in Homestead simple, on time, and consistent.
Homestead is Miami-Dade’s southern gateway. It is the designated staging point for Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, and the agricultural Redland district. It is also the last mainland stop before the Florida Keys. A client heading down the park road toward Flamingo books a four-to-six-hour retained engagement with a driver who waits. That is not a point-to-point transfer. Nobody in Coral Gables or Aventura sells that product, because nobody there needs it.
This is the honest sales argument for retained service, and it is not a scare tactic. Deep in Everglades National Park, and along much of the Redland agricultural grid, on-demand pickup driver density is minimal. Often there is no cell signal at all. A guest who is dropped off cannot summon a ride back. So wait-and-return is not an upgrade here. It is the only arrangement that works. We plan the day as a retained charter with a fixed return, and the chauffeur stays with the vehicle.
There is no reliable on-demand pickup supply in the parks or the Redland. As a result, nearly all work here is retained wait-and-return charter rather than point-to-point transfer. This includes:
Four-to-six-hour retained charters into Everglades and Biscayne National Parks, with the chauffeur and vehicle waiting since there is no on-demand pickup coverage past the gate.
A half-day itinerary through the Redland's farms, a winery and brewery, and fruit stands — seasonal, roughly November through May, with hours we confirm before the day.
Homestead is where a Keys trip really begins, via the eighteen-mile stretch south of Florida City. We do not quote a fixed arrival time for the Keys, and we will explain why.
South of Florida City, US-1 narrows to the eighteen-mile stretch. It is two lanes with a concrete barrier down the middle, no passing, and total closure on a single incident. Key West is roughly a hundred and ten to a hundred and twenty miles away. The drive takes two and a half to three and a half hours in good conditions, longer on a weekend. We will not quote a fixed Keys transfer time, because nobody honest can. Instead, we leave early, keep you informed, and carry water.
The Turnpike is the road; Krome is not. The Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike is the artery into the city and is entirely cashless. Krome Avenue looks like a shortcut on a map. But it carries farm equipment, heavy trucks and a poor safety record. It is not a route for a client-carrying vehicle. Miami International is thirty-three to thirty-seven miles and forty to fifty-five minutes. But allow seventy-five to ninety-five minutes northbound in the morning peak.
Homestead-Miami Speedway hosts NASCAR’s championship weekend each November, and January brings the Homestead Rodeo. Both are heavy-traffic, retained-charter days rather than drop-and-go trips. The nearest general-aviation field, Miami Homestead General Aviation, sits about five miles northwest and has no landing fees. Though it is not a heavy-jet destination, larger aircraft route through Miami Executive or Opa-locka.
Group bookings out of Homestead almost always work better as one vehicle than as a convoy. Our executive Sprinters seat up to thirteen with room for coolers and camera bags. The Cadillac Escalade, meanwhile, covers smaller groups who still want the retained wait-and-return model.
The commercial peak is December through April — the dry season and the park season together. May through November brings afternoon storms, mosquitoes and reduced ranger programming in the parks. The Redland farms also largely close for the summer.
Worth checking, too: several chain hotels branded with a Homestead name are actually in Florida City just to the south. So give us the property name at booking. We will confirm the address so the car is at the right door.
We will tell you when a trip is better in February than in August. That is a strange thing for a transport company to say. It is also the reason people book with us again.
Dry season and park season together — fewer mosquitoes, better wildlife viewing and full ranger programming.

Rodlymo provides veteran-owned luxury chauffeur service in Homestead, FL, with executive Sprinters and Cadillac Escalades. There is no reliable on-demand pickup supply in the national parks or the Redland. As a result, nearly all work here is retained wait-and-return charter rather than point-to-point transfer. This includes Everglades and Biscayne park excursions, Redland farm and winery touring, and NASCAR championship weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. It also includes Keys transfers via the eighteen-mile stretch and airport runs to Miami International.
If your trip begins in Homestead, book your ride with Rodlymo.
We would strongly advise against it. There is little to no pickup coverage past the park gate, and often no cell signal. So a guest who is dropped off can be genuinely stranded. We plan park days as retained charters with the chauffeur and vehicle staying with you.
Four to six hours as a rule. It can be more if you want to reach Flamingo at the far end of the park road. That is roughly thirty-eight miles inside the entrance. Biscayne National Park at Convoy Point is a shorter, separate trip in the opposite direction. We will lay out both options with realistic timings.
Yes, and we plan for the eighteen-mile stretch south of Florida City. It is two lanes with a barrier, no passing and total closure on a single incident. We do not quote a fixed arrival time for the Keys. This is because it is not a promise a chauffeur service can honestly keep.
