Car hire at Miami Airport is well-resourced with all kinds of ground transportation, such as taxis, trains and buses; however, with excellent road connections and clear signage, reaching your destination by hire car is the most straightforward option. The connections between the airport and the Rental Car Centre are fast and efficient and the high level of staff ensures that you will be on the road in a relatively short time and with less confusion than taking trains or buses.
The majority of major US and international hire car companies operate from within the Rental Car Centre. A small number of companies offer car hire at Miami Airport from outside the Rental Car Centre but they can arrange to meet you at the Arrivals area with your car. When booking, check whether the car company is located inside the centre or outside.
When planning to return your car remember that there are a number of major approach roads to Miami Airport, depending on whether you are coming from Miami Beach, Downtown Miami or the north or south of the city. However on the approach to the airport, the Rental Car Centre is very well-signposted. Look out for signs displaying RCC and follow these to the centre where the drop-off locations are also well-signposted.
The Rental Car Centre is open 24h a day and you can return your car at any time. However, many of the individual desks close from 23:00 to 05:00. If you prefer to deal with Miami Airport car hire staff face-to-face rather than using a drop-box, then ensure that you arrange to collect and drop off your car outside these later hours.

While I had a reservation, I did not rent a cat from SIXT. They were inflexible in working with me to change my reservation (due to airline flight delays.) and ultimately charged my card even though I never arrived for picking up the car ( note I did Not have a Prepaid rate. My reservation was for a Pay on Pickup.)

First off, it took forever to get the vehicle out of the garage, because they only had two tellers working. And after explaining to the lady that I have to make a 700 mile trip and requesting an economy gas vehicle, I was given an electronic vehicle without asking or being told so I had to get the vehicle towed to a charging station. It took me 11 hours to get to Daytona Beach. Where the lady at the airport was kind enough to exchange it for a different car. I will give negative reviews to the Miami location if I could.

We ordered a premium smaller vehicle and when we picked it up, they said they needed to send someone upstairs to go get our vehicle and bring it down. We waited 45 minutes and asked people about it 3 times before we finally got our car. And when we did, the car was not ever upstairs. It was sitting right behind the booth, in the lot with everything else. They were just so disorganized they didn’t know it. There was also only one person there helping people. So we watched several other people have to wait very long wait times just to speak to the person to get their car. And this was in the garage, not in the office.

Terrible, after I dropped off the car and asked the representative if everything was okay. She then asked me if any accidents, I replied no. And she said all good. Later that day, to find out that I am being charged $400. For washing fee. Turns out it's for smoking. I do not SMOKE at all, so the fact that this company is charging me on something that I have not done. It may have been a mistake on there end but until then, this is ridiculous and hope to get this settled.

A total nightmare it started with the very rude woman at the counter at budget Ft. Lauderdale airport. Then my grandson got in and sat on gym that was in a rear seat so van was not cleaned out. Wiper blades wore out would not clean window off at all. Kept getting a message that oil level was low the fan switch for the heater only worked on high and had to keep messing with it to keep it running. Then when we dropped Van off we were a little late 30 minutes but it was because of snow storm and they said don’t worry about it but then charged me for an extra hour anyway. Then charged for fuel but it was on full and had just stopped and filled it up 5 miles from airport. I would definitely never use budget ever again

Desk was closed with zero signage. I received a email stating “skip the line” in order to check out virtually via “Web Check Out”. The process did not work despite repeated attempts. The original email confirmation I received came from Hertz, so I tried that desk, which took 1 hour to go through before being seen. After which they said they could not help me and I needed to go to Dollar instead. I then proceeded to wait in the Dollar line which took an additional 30 minutes, only for them to tell me I didn’t need to wait in line at all because I had completed “Web Check Out” (which never worked). Dollar sent me to the garage where they accepted my reservation but still had to wait yet ANOTHER 45 minutes before finally getting in a car. Absolutely terrible management and a terrible experience. Will never use Thrifty again.

Check in online was good but the next step to select vehicle was very disappointing- did not go through. Then no response. Thrifty counter at airport was closed- long line at Dollar counter: then had to go on lower level at another counter to get car. Nearly 2 hours before we get car: what’s the use of checking online?

Car was good but wait time at rental counter (30 minutes) and then in the pickup lot (another 30) was extensive. Seemed understaffed and low on stock. Had to take a minivan to prevent an even longer wait.

When I booked, there were gas vehicles available for the same price but was given an electric vehicle with no instructions on how or where to charge it. I upgraded to a gas vehicle and it ended up costing me more when they were available for the same price in the beginning. The car I ended up receiving worked but felt like the clutch was slipping and wouldn't engage properly.

The line for pick up was 3x longer than any other line in the miami airport, thrifty center was shutdown sonhad to stand in line for the dollar rental. Back windows of our car did not roll up all the way when putting the top up so had to manually pull them back into place. Will choose another rental company if visiting miami again.
