CarRentals.com can help you plan how you'll be getting around on your trip to Miami. Here, you can figure out which car you'll need ahead of time, and make sure you snag the best possible price from the rental company. Looking to keep within a set budget? Try to:

• Decide what car you'll need for your trip. Don't get more car then you need
• Compare weekly and daily rates from all the different suppliers
• Make sure you know any cost for an added driver, fuel policy, and mileage limits. That way you can make sure you know the true cost before you rent your car

You can rent a vehicle in Miami if you are at least 21. Please note you'll most likely be charged an added fee if you are younger than 25. Also note, if you plan to rent a higher category vehicle (premium, large capacity, SUV, etc.) there may be different age restrictions. Check with the rental car company before you book.

There are 2 rental companies at the Miami Airport. Your trip will be off to a good start with car rental suppliers like National and Enterprise to get you the car of your choice.

In Miami you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. You may also purchase additional insurance through your supplier for your trip, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover your rental. Many major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover) usually cover your car rental. But many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering larger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Be sure to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Miami. Additionally, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout if you are a citizen of the United States.

Be sure to present your credit card, as well as your driver's license.

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a "full-to-full" policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank, and you will want to fill it back up before you return. If you want to keep your expenses lower, find a filling station before you return the car.

Miami has enough to keep you entertained, but you may want to drive to other attractions to see what else the area has. You can discover the rest of the area free of mileage limits when you venture to see what else Florida has to offer.

The majority of car rental suppliers usually offer one-way rentals. You may find it easier to drop off your rental car at a different location. Be aware there is typically an extra fee when you pick one-way.

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you will be doing. Economy or compact automobiles are easier to park and great for short commutes. Commute times in Miami average 25 minutes, so you may feel a SUV or mid-size car provides a more comfortable ride. If you want to lower your emissions and save on gas, then choose a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a touch of luxury on their Miami getaway can choose a higher-end category like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.
