Miami Car Rental
Beach routes, the Keys and cross-town traffic — compact and convertible classes are the common picks.
Miami, Florida
Renting a car in Miami
Miami spreads along the coast and inland far enough that a rental is usually the practical way to move between South Beach, Wynwood, Coral Gables and the airport. Traffic on I-95 and the causeways is heaviest in the late afternoon, and hotel parking in South Beach is often paid and limited — worth checking before you pick a larger class.
Rental tip
Drivers heading to the Florida Keys should confirm mileage terms, since the round trip to Key West alone is roughly 320 miles.
