Your quick travel guide to Miami Airport

Car Rental at the Miami Airport

The Miami International Airport offers all the people who arrive through its gates the opportunity to thoroughly explore everything that southern Florida has to offer.

Key West—the southernmost point of the continental United States—is located just 160 miles south of the Miami Airport along a very cool connection of bridges and well-maintained roads. Stay mobile and independent with your Miami Airport rental car. Here is a brief guide to finding the cheapest rental cars at the Miami International Airport.
