Thanks to Miami International Airport (MIA), Greater Miami & Miami Beach is incredibly easy to reach by plane. But once you land, the ideal way to see the destination is by having your own car. Rent a car at MIA or nearby and explore the destination’s beautiful beaches, fabulous restaurants and bars, vibrant art scene, exciting museums and more on your own terms.

Rent A Car At Miami International Airport

The quickest way to get a car rental after a flight is to visit the MIA Rental Car Center, open 24 hours a day and located on the third floor between the Dolphin and Flamingo parking garages. Getting there is simple. After collecting your bags, go to the third floor and take the Skyride and moving walkways to the MIA Mover, a train that connects the airport to MIA Rental Car Center. You’ll find all of the major operators, such as Alamo, SIXT, Enterprise, Avis, Hertz and Budget. For an elite car rental experience, take advantage of the monthly SIXT+ subscription, which lets you choose from a high-end fleet of cars and SUVs, switch out your car as many times as you want and even explore Miami with your very own chauffeur.

Car Rental Options Near the Airport

Fox Rent A Car

If MIA Rental Car Center doesn’t have the car you need or want, reserve one at a rental car company just minutes from the airport. Fox Rent A Car has everything from budget-friendly economy cars to high-end sports cars and offers benefits such as monthly rentals and rental extensions for up to 30 days.

Green Motion

Green Motion is dedicated to protecting the environment and only rents cars with eco-friendly capabilities. It encourages recycling, uses solar- and wind-powered electricity where possible and even recycles the water used to wash its fleet.

Miami Life Cars

For nearly 20 years, Miami Life Cars has given drivers car rental options for every budget and even rents to drivers as young as 18 years old.

All of these companies offer free shuttles to and from the MIA Rental Car Center. Just step outside and look for the signs to the off-airport rental car shuttles.

Rent A Car From Turo

Peer-to-peer car-sharing, often referred to as Airbnb for cars, has become a great alternative to traditional car rentals. Leading the industry, Turo makes car-sharing easier than ever. Just log into the mobile app, enter your desired rental date and location and choose from a variety of cars, SUVs, trucks and more, all publicly reviewed by prior renters. You can meet with your host in-person, collect and unlock your car remotely through a lockbox or mobile application, or have it delivered directly to MIA or your Miami hotel. Turo gives you direct access to your host at all hours of the day as well as your choice of three damage protection plans, liability insurance and 24/7 support and roadside assistance.
