Miami Car Rental FAQs

What is the most popular rental car in Miami?

  • It all depends on how many people are in your party, and what type of things you are planning on doing. Will you be doing a lot of driving, so something roomy and comfortable will be key? Or perhaps your plans are to stay within the city limits where parking spots may be a little smaller or limited, so a Mid Size or Compact car might be your best option.. Renting a convertible car in Miami would be a fun way to go too so you can really take in all the local sites and smells while enjoying the warm tropical breeze, though there is limited luggage space (great for 2 people). If it’s a family vacation, then a 7 passenger MIni Van would be perfect. When you’re renting a car in Miami, the options are endless. We can help you make that decision too.

How will I find the best price for my Miami rental car?

  • Once you have planned your trip, and purchased your airline tickets for Miami, you are ready to start searching for your car rental in Miami. When you search on our website, you will need the pick up dates and times to complete your booking. Choose the best option for your needs, as it’s never a good idea to choose a vehicle that is too small hoping you will get a free upgrade, as this rarely happens when the Miami car rental companies are busy. Prices can fluctuate, and often the best prices can be found farther out from your travel dates. However, it is always wise to check back on our website from time to time, as there might be a lower rate showing up at any time. Once you book the lower rate, you can cancel your existing reservation.

What happens if I need to cancel my reservation?

What should I provide at the rental counter for the best car rental at Miami International Airport?

  • When you arrive at the Miami car rental counter, you will need to provide a valid driver’s license that matches the name of the driver on your confirmation. If you are traveling from a country that does not have alphabetical drivers licenses, you will also need an International Driver’s Permit - bring both. A credit card that matches the name of the driver is the preferred method of payment, although some car companies do accept debit cards. The debit card must be attached to your bank account, and there are often restrictions such as which vehicles you can rent, how far ahead of time you need to reserve, and other restrictions. Know which Miami Airport car rental agency you are booked with, and bring your confirmation number with you.
