Recommendations for renting a car in Miami

Here’s the English translation of the text:

When planning a trip to Miami – United States, several frequently asked questions come up. In this post, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know to explore Miami or any city in the state of Florida, USA.

Let’s get started!

Is it worth renting a car in Miami?

The undisputed answer to this question is: Yes! Let us tell you why.

Unfortunately, the transportation system in Miami is not very good, and you might have to wait up to 2 hours for a bus. And while you could use Uber or Lyft, keep in mind that the distances are long, and you may end up spending more money than renting a car would cost. Renting a car solves everything – it’s much more convenient for getting around, and best of all, you can shop at all the malls and outlets without any issues. There are so many, and you won’t want to miss a single one.

Miami is a shopping destination:

We’ll be doing another post on the malls you can’t miss during your stay in Miami, but to name a few: Sawgrass Mills (1 hour from Miami Beach), one of the largest outlets in the United States. Without the convenience of a car, getting there would be difficult. There’s also Aventura Mall, where you’ll find high-end brands like Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, ZARA, and many more. And Dolphin Mall, another huge outlet, where in addition to big-name brands, you’ll find stores like Ross, Burlington, Five Below, and Marshall, among others! All of them are far away, and you won’t want to miss any! I insist: with Uber, you’ll spend much more than the cost of renting a car for a day!

Check out our post on What to Do in Miami During a 5-Day Stay to see all the places you can explore by car.

Visit Brickell, Miami Design District, and Wynwood

It will depend a lot on where you’re staying and how far these places are, but for example, many Argentinians tend to book accommodations in Hollywood, Sunny Isles, Hallandale, or North Beach. A round trip with Uber can cost as much as two days of car rental, and there’s no argument about the comfort of having a car to explore these areas.

Visit Key West, Orlando

If you’re planning to visit either of these two places, there’s no doubt that renting a car in Miami is a must. You’ll save a lot of money and be able to travel in the most comfortable, economical, and efficient way possible.
