Tips for renting a car in Miami FL

Before you rent:

Make an informed choice. We believe in providing you with options to choose the right car for your needs with complete price transparency. At U-Save, we prioritize your peace of mind, which means rental insurance with us is not overly complicated and you are assured you are properly insured.

When you collect your Vehicle:

Think ahead. It's a good idea to map out your trip in advance, especially if you're returning the rental car to an unfamiliar location or airport. Check your confirmation email to make sure you know where to meet your agent or where the rental desk, and save the contact details to your phone for quick access.

Bring the necessary documents. While we strive to make the check-in process as simple as possible, some information is required by law. Having your reservation information, driver's license, passport and credit card ready in advance can speed up your reservation process. If you choose to self-insure, make sure that you have verifiable proof of full coverage insurance at the time of rental pickup. If you are a local renter, make sure that you have all the information required by the location to confirm your ID and address.

Conduct a car inspection. Perform a detailed walk around inspection as soon as the vehicle is received to note any existing damage on the rental agreement. The five damage hotspots that we've discovered deserve special attention. You are shielded from responsibility when you return the vehicle by disclosing any existing damage prior to leaving the location.

While you rent:

Take care. Please be advised that depending on the rental coverage you chose, you could be responsible for any damage that occurs during the rental period. Take measures to reduce the possibility of collisions leading to dings and scratches, especially in congested parking areas.

When you return your vehicle:

Complete one more vehicle inspection. Conduct a second inspection during the return procedure, and no matter how little it may look, carefully record any damage. This approach enables us to handle your refund quickly while making sure you are completely insured. The five damage hotspots should receive special attention, just as they did during the initial assessment.

Driving in Miami – Road Rules, Traffic & Local Tips in Florida

 

Driving in Miami is very common but requires alertness and confidence. While the roads are well-maintained and clearly signposted, the local driving culture is fast-paced, and many drivers make aggressive lane changes or ignore turn signals. That said, the overall road network is efficient, with major highways running in a grid layout that makes navigation relatively simple.

Vehicles drive on the right-hand side, and nearly all rental cars are automatic. Speed limits are posted in miles per hour (mph):

30–35 mph in residential and city streets

45–55 mph on major boulevards

65–70 mph on highways and expressways

Miami drivers often exceed posted limits, so it’s important to stay alert and avoid speeding, especially as speed cameras, red-light cameras, and toll scanners are widely used. Right turns on red are allowed, unless signage indicates otherwise.

Toll roads are common in South Florida, particularly the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) and Florida Turnpike. Most rental cars are equipped with a SunPass or E-Pass, and tolls are automatically billed to your rental agreement. Confirm toll tag activation with your rental agency before departure.

Fuel stations are easy to find throughout Miami, including near MIA. Gas is self-service, and most pumps accept credit or debit cards. If your international card doesn't work due to ZIP code validation, you can prepay inside the station.

Parking is relatively easy in Miami, especially in shopping centers, hotels, and beachfront garages. Downtown areas use metered parking and garages, with mobile app options available (such as PayByPhone). Avoid parking in restricted zones or along yellow/red curbs, as enforcement is active.
