About Renting a Car at Miami Airport

Miami International Airport (MIA) is one of the USA's busiest international airports and offers 72 car rental companies on site - one of the largest selections in the entire country. The rental car center is directly connected to the terminal via the free MIA Mover shuttle train, making pickup convenient. From here, you can reach South Beach in about 20 minutes (13 km) and Fort Lauderdale in about 45 minutes (50 km) without traffic.

MIA is in the heart of Miami-Dade County, surrounded by highways I-836, SR-112, and SR-836 that provide quick access to the entire metropolitan region. Wynwood Arts District is just 10 km east, and Coral Gables' elegant Miracle Mile is reached in under 10 minutes to the south. Book your rental car in advance during high season (December - April) when prices rise significantly.

Choose a car with a SunPass transponder included to avoid cash toll fees on the highway tolls. Avoid picking up your car on Friday afternoons - traffic on SR-836 toward downtown can double your travel time. Where is the rental car center at Miami airport?

The Rental Car Center is located about 1 km from the terminals and is reached free of charge on the MIA Mover train, which runs 24/7 with 3-5 minute intervals. Do I need to pay tolls on the highways around Miami? Yes, several highways in Miami-Dade are toll roads.

Ask the rental company for a SunPass transponder or choose a package with toll fees included to avoid administrative surcharges. How long does it take to drive from MIA to Key West? From MIA to Key West is about 200 km via US-1 and Overseas Highway, which takes approximately 3.5-4 hours depending on traffic and stops along the way.

We compare prices from all major providers at Miami Airport so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.

What to Know Before Picking Up at Miami Airport

🚗 1) Pick the Right Terms

  • Fuel: "Full-to-full" is usually the fairest deal.
  • Extra driver: can cost extra - check before booking.
  • Automatic: often pricier and in shorter supply.
Pro tip: Cheapest rate + expensive terms = an expensive rental in disguise.

🪪 2) Bring the Right Documents

  • Driver's license (usually held for at least 1 year)
  • Passport or national ID
  • Credit card in the driver's name for the deposit
A valid license is accepted in most of Florida (USA). Check if an IDP is needed.

📸 3) Drama-Free Pickup

  • Film the car from all angles + the dashboard.
  • Photograph scratches, wheels and windshield.
  • Keep your fuel receipt when returning.
