When you arrive at Miami Airport you will pass through the Baggage Claim area, and exit the main Arrivals area into a very busy thoroughfare. There is only one baggage reclaim, so it should not take you too long. There is a road circling the inner hub of the airport where cars, shuttles, taxis and coaches tend to hurtle around this at speed, so if you have children take particular care, as you cross the road from the terminal and pick up a car hire shuttle on this road. In order to collect your hire car at Miami International Airport you must take a courtesy shuttle bus to the depots which are all located outside the airport off Le Jeune Avenue.

Before you accept your hire car and drive off with it make sure you inspect it for any scratches, dents, etc., and ensure that it is in full working order (seat belts, headlights, indicators etc). Report any problems now, and get the hire car representative to note down any scratches etc. on your rental agreement.

There are nine major car hire firms at Miami Airport. They are Alamo at Miami Airport - Avis at Miami Airport - Budget at Miami Airport - Dollar at Miami Airport - Enterprise at Miami Airport - Hertz at Miami Airport - National at Miami Airport - Royal at Miami Airport and Thrifty at Miami Airport

The car hire/rental counters and desks are in the arrivals area next to the baggage reclaim area in the Central and North terminal buildings.  If you arrive into the South Terminal there is an Information and Reservation board on the 3rd floor and also in arrivals where you can use the rental car phone.

Shuttle buses are provided free of charge to take you to where the car hire vehicles are parked which are on various sites depending on the car hire company you choose.

When you come out of arrivals you will see the shuttle buses that have the name of the car hire company on them, just wave one down and it will stop.  Remember when you are returning your vehicle to allow at least 30 to 45 minutes to drop off your car and then take the shuttle bus back to the airport for check in.
