Cheap Car Rent Miami
If you're going to visit Miami for the first time, you may be wondering whether or not you need to rent a car. While you can use taxis to get around Miami, you'll spend far less money by renting a car. An added benefit is you won't have to waste time waiting for a taxi or dealing with one not showing up. To find a cheap car rental in Miami, it's best to do a few online searches:
Dollar Rent a Car
Of all the national car rental companies, Dollar has a reputation for consistently offering some of the cheapest rates. In addition to their low standard rates, they also offer a wide range of deals:
- Special Offers: These deals change on a regular basis. They include offers like 5% off a compact car, 10% off cars rented in certain regions and mid-size SUVs for as little as $34 a day.
- Partner Special Offers: If you're flying to Miami, you'll likely be able to take advantage of one of these deals. Dollar's partners include Southwest, American, Continental and United Airlines.
- Last Minute Specials: Although these deals aren't always available, you can sign up for Dollar's email list to be notified whenever one comes up.
Expedia
This price comparison site allows you to search multiple Miami car rental companies at the same time. All you have to do is enter your trip information once, and then press the green Go button. The results page offers several different ways to see what's available. You can organize the vehicles by preferred vendor view, car size view or car price view. The car price view tab will actually display the lowest total price that was found.
In addition to their easy to sort results page, another notable feature of this site is their willingness to display the true total price. A common tactic employed by many sites is displaying an "estimated price" that doesn't factor in costs like taxes or fees. While you won't actually be billed until after your trip to Miami is over, Expedia does a very good job of coming as close as possible to the real price you will pay for your rental.
All Day Rent a Car
This rental company specifically serves the Miami area. Their office is located less than two miles from the Miami airport. They offer free shuttle pick up for customers who arrive at the airport. Because their office is open from 8 to 8, seven days a week, if you rent a car from them, you won't have to worry about not being able to pick up your rental when you need it.
One of the nice features of their website is they display some of their current inventory directly on their homepage. Before you even do a search, you will be able to get an idea of how much you can expect to pay for specific rentals. Depending on when you go to Miami, you may be able to book one of their economy, compact or midsize cars for less than $25 a day.
