Waymo's driverless robotaxis have been open to everyone in Miami since April 15, 2026, and its service area now crosses Biscayne Bay to Miami Beach, Surfside and Bal Harbour and reaches north to Hard Rock Stadium. Tesla Robotaxi also lists Miami. Neither offers pickups at Miami International Airport that we could confirm.

Where Waymo goes
Waymo began welcoming riders in Miami on January 22, 2026 and opened to everyone on April 15, when highway access also began rolling out to select riders (Waymo). The service crossed to the barrier island with Miami Beach, Surfside and Bal Harbour, using the MacArthur and Venetian causeways; the Miami Herald reported a 100-square-mile zone at that point that also covered downtown, Brickell, Wynwood, Edgewater and Coral Gables (Miami Herald). On May 13, 2026 Waymo added more than 50 square miles, including Hard Rock Stadium.
Airport and cruise port
Miami International isn't on Waymo's list of served airports (Waymo Help). For PortMiami, see our cruise port guide: the port lists rideshare and taxi zones at its terminals, but we couldn't confirm the terminals as a Waymo destination.
Tesla Robotaxi
Miami is on Tesla's list of Robotaxi cities (Tesla). Book in the Tesla Robotaxi app with a Tesla Account; the app shows the service area and the fare before you confirm (App Store). Tesla publishes no Miami rate.
Ages: Waymo riders must be 18 to ride alone; younger riders travel with an adult, and children under 8 need a car or booster seat in the back (Waymo Rider Rules). Tesla requires riders to be 18 to book or ride alone; guests 8 to 17 can ride in a Model Y with an adult (Tesla Rider Rules). Full details for every company are in the rider rules matrix.
