About the Miami International Airport (MIA), Florida, United States

About Miami International Airport, Florida

Miami International Airport (MIA) is one of the busiest airports in the United States and a major hub for international travel, especially to Latin America and the Caribbean. Located just 8 miles (13 km) northwest of downtown Miami, it offers quick access to beaches, business districts, and popular tourist spots. Renting a car at Miami Airport is the most convenient way to explore the city, the Florida Keys, and the Everglades at your own pace.

Airport facilities and services

Miami Airport features three terminals (North, Central, and South) and offers a wide array of services, including restaurants, duty-free shops, multilingual assistance, lounges, currency exchange, and free Wi-Fi. The airport is well equipped for international travelers, and nearby hotels like the Miami International Airport Hotel and Hilton Miami Airport offer convenient accommodations.

Transportation to and from the airport

MIA is served by the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC), connecting travelers to Metrorail, Tri-Rail, Metrobus, and airport shuttles. However, for those looking to explore beyond the downtown area — such as Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, or road trips to the Keys — car rental is the best option for flexibility and comfort.

How to rent a car at Miami Airport

Rental services are centralized at the Rental Car Center, accessible via the free MIA Mover train from the terminals. Major providers include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Sixt, and Thrifty.

Driving tips from Miami Airport

  • Drive on the right: In the U.S., all vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road.
  • Speed limits: Typically 30–45 mph in city areas and up to 70 mph on Florida’s highways and turnpikes.
  • Tolls: Florida uses electronic toll collection (SunPass). Most rental cars are equipped with transponders — check your rental terms.
  • Fuel stations: Located near the Rental Car Center and across Miami — most are self-service and open 24/7.
  • Navigation: Use GPS or apps like Waze and Google Maps to avoid heavy traffic during rush hours and find the best routes to the beaches or Everglades.
