Renting a Car When You Come to Miami: To Do Or Not To Do?
So you are planning your trip to Miami. Being you are not from the city, you may be wondering whether you should rent a car or not. If you are coming to Miami to spend your entire vacation on South Beach, it is not worth the hassle. You will find that having a car to get around South Beach is mostly expensive valet fees, mission-impossible parking and parking garage fees.
It tends to be difficult to find parking in Miami Beach. Cars line the streets and parking lots are filled to capacity. Instead, if the need for a car should come up for any reason, ask the front desk or concierge service to rent a car for you from a rental agency in the area. Otherwise, South Beach has a local, air conditioned bus that circles SoBe and only charges 25 cents per person or you can take one of the many taxis that drive around South Beach which offer rides at reasonable prices. The final verdict? Just rent a car in Miami Beach when you need to because of the following:
- It is hard to find parking
- Particularly around Lincoln Road, Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive
- You need a parking permit for certain areas or your car will get towed
- Parking meters
- Meter should have money in it any time from 9AM to Midnight, 7 days a week.
- It is hard to find available parking meters
- Public parking lots are scarce and busy
- Valet parking can be outrageously expensive and has a long waiting time to get your car back
If you are looking for a central place to stay in Miami Beach, search a long list of affordable, quality vacation rentals and holiday rentals. You can even conduct your search according to whether or not the Miami vacation rentals have parking available.
