How to Get to Rennert Miami's English School at St. Thomas University
Airport and Arrival Information
Miami International Airport is located 10.5 miles from
Rennert Miami's English school at
St. Thomas University. There are several ways to travel from the airport to your final destination. Travel time varies depending on the mode of transportation.
Taxi
Make sure that the driver and vehicle are licensed. There must be a decal and/or license number on the vehicle and the driver must display a registration with a picture and the driver's number. Tipping is optional but customary. The taxicab fare is determined by the taxi's meter, which displays the charge for the ride. From the Airport to the University the taxicab fare is approximately $65.
Always ask for a receipt. The ride will take approximately 25 minutes.
Upon arrival at the airport claim your luggage and go to curb side. Contact a Super Shuttle Guest Service Representative wearing either a gold shirt or a blue jacket that says "Super Shuttle". They will arrange transportation to your destination. The approximate fare from Miami International Airport to St. Thomas University is $23.00. Travel time depends on how many other passengers are in the limousine. Super Shuttle provides door to door transportation.
Public Transportation
Although this is the least expensive mode of transportation, it is not the most convenient, especially if the student has several pieces of luggage. The bus station is located on Level 1 at Concourse E, directly across from Customs. Take the No. 42 bus to the Opa Locka Tri-Rail Station and change to the No. 32 to 164th Street and 37th Avenue, directly across from the gate at St. Thomas University. Ask the driver of the No. 42 bus for a transfer. The fare including the transfer is $2.00. Metrobus accepts dollar bills, quarters (25 cents), dimes (10 cents) and nickels (5 cents). Drivers cannot make change. Total travel time will be approximately 90 minutes. The last bus leaves Miami Airport at 7:55 p.m. on weekdays and 7:15 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
All Fares should be considered approximate and are subject to change without notice.
Airport Pickup Service
Rennert Miami can arrange for airport pickup. The fee is $100 per person. The driver will meet the student either outside the customs area at international arrivals or, in case of a domestic flight outside the baggage claim area and will be holding a "Rennert Miami" sign. Rennert Miami cannot guarantee airport pickup if there is a missed flight, mid-flight change or if the arrival information is not received by NOON on the FRIDAY prior to the student's arrival. Rennert Miami will advise the name of the service, telephone number and emergency number one week prior to student's travel date.
