Car rental companies in Miami
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a large number of car rental companies in Miami and throughout the United States, providing you a wide choice of pickup and return locations suitable for your itinerary. Major stations operate at the Rental Car Center of Miami International Airport (MIA), located next to the MIA Mover and housing dozens of leading brands. Additionally, you can find pickup points in Downtown Miami, Brickell, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, and nearby neighborhoods, as well as near the Port of Miami for cruise passengers.
Many other rental stations are spread across the metropolis, allowing precise coordination between your place of stay and travel planning—whether you plan to head south to the Everglades and Key West, or north to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. One-way rentals can also be considered, subject to availability and return fees.
Operating hours vary between car rental companies and between locations, especially between airport branches and city branches. We recommend confirming in advance that the hours match your arrival and return time, and checking the possibility of late pickup or after-hours return if necessary. It is also important to review policies on fuel, driver age, additional drivers, and local insurance (such as LDW and SLI) to ensure smooth and fast car reception.
Local tip: Miami has many toll roads (SR‑112, SR‑836, Florida’s Turnpike) and sometimes requires SunPass or automatic billing through the rental company. Additionally, traffic can be heavy during rush hours, and parking in tourist areas like South Beach is limited and sometimes expensive—check parking availability or hotel parking options in advance.
When choosing a car type, you can compare economical sedan models for city driving, SUVs for families and beach gear, or convertibles for a trip along Ocean Drive and the Overseas Highway to the Keys. You can add child safety seats, navigation, and toll crossing equipment as needed. Travelers under the age of 25 are asked to check in advance for young driver policies and fees.
FAQ – Car rental in Miami
What is the minimum age to rent a car in Miami through Auto Europe Israel, and is there an extra charge for young drivers?
In Miami, with Dollar and Thrifty, the minimum rental age is 21. Drivers aged 21-24 are typically required to pay a young driver fee ranging from $25-35 plus tax per day, depending on the branch and car category. Premium models, convertibles, and large SUVs may require age 25. An active international credit card in the name of the main driver and a valid driver's license are required.
Is an Israeli driver's license sufficient in Miami, or is an international license required?
Rental with Dollar/Thrifty in Miami is usually possible with a valid Israeli plastic driver's license that includes Latin letters. If the license is not in English/Latin, an international driving permit (IDP) must be presented alongside the Israeli license. We recommend carrying a matching passport, and suppliers may require full alignment between driver details in the Auto Europe Israel booking and the presented documents.
What does the basic insurance package include in Miami through Auto Europe Israel, and what additional insurances are recommended?
When renting in Miami through Auto Europe Israel, common rates include LDW/CDW (coverage for damage or loss to the vehicle) and sometimes TP (theft). In the U.S., LDW often cancels the deductible but does not cover misuse, wrong fuel, keys, or accessories. Third-party liability is provided at Florida's minimum required level; it's recommended to consider SLI/EP to extend third-party liability to higher amounts, as well as Roadside Assistance Plus and windshield/tire coverage if not included. Please check your Auto Europe Israel voucher for what is included in your specific reservation.
Can an additional driver be added in Miami, and what is the cost involved?
Yes. An additional driver who meets the age and license conditions and presents documents at the Dollar/Thrifty counter can be added. The usual cost is around $13-15 plus tax per day per driver, and there is often a cap for rental. A spouse or life partner may be approved as additional drivers at no charge in certain cases, subject to branch policy. Insurance coverage is valid only for drivers listed in the contract.
What documents are required to pick up the car at Miami Airport?
When picking up from MIA or city branches, you will need to present: an Auto Europe Israel voucher, a valid Israeli driver's license accompanied by an international license if not in English/Latin, a passport, and a physical credit card in the name of the main driver as security/deposit. Some Dollar/Thrifty branches do not accept debit cards; it is recommended to arrive with a regular international credit card.
Tips for car rental in Miami
Here are four useful tips for renting a car abroad: they will help you save money, avoid surprising fees, and ensure smooth and safe pickup and return at any destination. This includes checks during pickup, selecting the right insurance, understanding fuel policies and local toll roads.
Check insurance coverage in advance
Ensure there is CDW/TP and third-party liability, what the deductible is, and what is not covered (windshields, tires, undercarriage). Compare the cost of extensions at the counter versus external policies.
Deposit credit and driver conditions
Prepare a physical credit card in the name of the main driver with limits for deposit. Check minimum/maximum age, young driver surcharge, and additional driver cost to avoid surprises.
Fuel policy and vehicle condition documentation
Photograph the car from all angles at pickup and return, including the odometer and fuel gauge. Prefer a full-to-full policy and return at the same level to avoid refueling charges.
Toll roads, vignettes, and border crossings
Check if vignettes/toll roads exist and who is responsible for payment. Request written authorization for border crossings or ferries; additional costs or insurance restrictions may apply.
