KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Miami
- Car hire in Miami is a must if you want to fit in to the glitz and extravagance known as the Magic City. Don Johnson and Philip Thomas were never seen driving a suburban car, much less catching public transport, and neither should you be. Miami is the city to rent a beautiful car and feel great driving it.
- The Miami International Airport (MIA) hire Car Center is easily accessed upon your arrival by taking a connecting shuttle bus from the MIA Mover station, located on the 3rd level between the Dolphin and Flamingo garages. MIA is located conveniently close to downtown Miami, only five miles north and 13 miles west of Miami Beach. This means you will be off the plane and at your destination in no time at all, with a long list of hire companies such as Alamo, Hertz, Avis, and Thrifty to choose from.
- The State of Florida has many highways with tolls including the Airport Expressway (State Road 112). These toll roads require prepayment on what is called a SunPass and can add unexpected extra costs to your travel if you don’t research in advance. To avoid these expenses, look closely over the conditions of your car hire and choose the company with the policy that best reflects your needs.
- Be careful when planning your driving routes through downtown Miami, as rush hour can cause significant traffic congestion along major roads. Major expressways such as the I-95, US-1, and 836 (Dolphin Expressway) will be clogged up between 7 am and 9 am and 3 pm - 7:30 pm. Your driving experience around downtown will be much quicker and enjoyable if you avoid Biscayne Boulevard, Collins Avenue, and Ocean Drive during the peak periods of traffic.
