KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in South Miami

  • While public transportation options exist in South Miami, they can be limited or inconvenient for travelers who want to visit specific destinations or explore the area on their own schedule. Therefore, renting cheap car rentals in South Miami allows visitors to easily access popular attractions such as the Miami Seaquarium, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and the nearby Everglades National Park. Having South Miami car rentals also makes it easier to explore the diverse neighborhoods of South Miami, each with its own unique character and attractions. In addition, if you are planning to take a day trip outside of the city, having a car is essential.
  • Miami Airport (MIA) is the main airport serving South Miami and it is just 9 miles away. The rental car offices at MIA are located on the lower level of the Central Terminal (Concourse E). There is an airport shuttle to the rental car center (RCC) from the terminals, which runs every few minutes. Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) is approximately 30 miles from South Miami. The rental car offices at FLL are located in a consolidated rental car center (RCC), which can be accessed via a dedicated shuttle bus from all terminals.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in South Miami can be challenging for those who are not familiar with the city's unique driving style and traffic patterns. One unique rule in South Miami is the requirement to turn on headlights while driving in inclement weather, including rain or fog. South Miami drivers are also generally considered to be impatient and aggressive. This can lead to frequent incidents of tailgating, honking, and aggressive lane changes. Bicycles are also a common sight on South Miami roads, particularly in the more bike-friendly neighborhoods such as Coconut Grove. Drivers should therefore give cyclists plenty of room when passing and be aware of designated bike lanes.
  • South Miami is a densely populated area of Miami, and the rush hour typically occurs from 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm. Traffic can be congested, especially on main highways like I-95 and the Florida Turnpike. South Miami generally has mild weather throughout the year. However, it can experience heavy rainfall during the summer months typically between June to September, and the occasional hurricane during hurricane season. Drivers should be cautious when driving cheap car rentals in South Miami during heavy rainfall as roads can become slippery and visibility can be reduced.
  • Small hire cars in South Miami are around 64% cheaper than other car types, on average
