  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Miami car hire policy, whether you book with MLC or any other supplier. Some may charge separately for it instead of including it in the base rental.

  • Booking one-way could score you a discount on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower prices when vehicles need to be relocated. Simply click 'Return car to a different location' when searching the cars for rent in Miami.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers your out-of-pocket costs if your Miami car hire is damaged or stolen. While not compulsory, it's a safety net if something happens. Just remember that not all insurance policies are equal, so make sure you understand exactly what's included.

  • Make driving easier when you rent a car in Miami by adding some nifty extras. Think things like a GPS unit to keep your trip on track, or reverse cameras that make parking feel effortless.

Good to know

  • The minimum age to rent a car in the United States is generally 21 years old. However rules can vary by provider, so always read your rental company's terms to find out where you stand.

  • Bringing the kids with you? Car seat requirements differ from place to place, and the best setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Find out if you need to add one to your Miami car hire reservation.

  • You'll have to provide some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.

  • Driving in the United States can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United States. The most reliable way to be safe to drive is to avoid drinking completely.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) for all your purchases and expenses on your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards for more flexibility when paying.

  • English is the language that most people speak in this country.
