Which is the cheapest car hire company at Miami Airport?

Auto-Union is the cheapest company at Miami Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging £34 a day against the £57 typical across the airport. Europcar is next at £40 a day, but neither company has a review score from recent rentals. For a rated supplier, Dollar averages £41 a day from 1,315 prices and scores 82/100 from 38 counter reviews, though it takes a debit card for only some cars. Alamo costs £58 a day and scores 89/100 from 81 reviews.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

Alamo is the best-reviewed company at Miami Airport, scoring 89/100 from 81 reviews with an average desk wait of 15 minutes. Alamo costs £58 a day on average for an Intermediate car, like a Toyota Corolla size, over the last 12 months from 4,129 prices. Auto-Union charges £34 a day for the same class, but does not yet have enough reviews for a score. Dollar scores 82/100 with a 12-minute wait and costs £41 a day.

Review scores are CarTrawler customers' own, from the last five months; the score and the desk wait sit beside each car in the results.

Can I hire a car at Miami Airport with a debit card?

Another 3 desks take a debit card for some cars only, while 2 require a credit card. Filter for a debit card before comparing prices so you do not pick a car you cannot collect.

06

What car hire traps should I watch out for at Miami Airport?

Long desk queues and strict card rules catch people out at Miami Airport, even though all 9 rental counters sit directly at the airport. National's desk averages 38 minutes at pickup, meaning you may spend longer standing at the counter than clearing the motorway out of town. Avis and Budget refuse debit cards entirely, requiring a credit card in the lead driver's name. Another 3 desks accept debit cards for only certain models, so check card rules before you land.

Only 53% of prices at Miami Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.
