Everything You Need to Prepare for a Smooth Arrival
Planning a trip to Miami? Great choice. With its stunning beaches, world-class culture, and tropical energy, it’s no wonder millions of travelers fly into South Florida every year.
If you’re flying into Miami International Airport (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), here’s what to know before you land — from airport basics to transportation tips and how to get to your Ero Rentals stay smoothly.
1. Know Which Airport You’re Flying Into
Miami International Airport (MIA) is the main airport and closest to most central neighborhoods (Brickell, Downtown, Wynwood, Little Havana, Coral Gables, etc.).
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is about 35–45 minutes north and may offer better fares or more direct flights depending on where you're coming from.
2. What to Expect at MIA
MIA is large, busy, and well-connected — but it helps to know your way around.
-
Terminals: North (D), Central (E, F, G), and South (H, J)
-
Customs: If arriving internationally, allow at least 45–60 minutes for immigration and baggage
-
Wi-Fi: Free throughout the airport
-
Dining: Options from fast food to Cuban cafés
-
Transportation: Rideshare pick-up is clearly marked and easy to access
3. Transportation Options to Your Rental
Uber/Lyft: Available from both airports with average rides ranging from $20–$45 depending on your location and time of day.
Taxi: Slightly more expensive than rideshare, but available without an app.
Rental Cars: Best if you plan to explore beyond the city or want flexibility during your stay. MIA’s Rental Car Center is connected by the MIA Mover train.
Public Transit:
-
From MIA: Metrorail to Brickell, Downtown, or Dadeland
-
From FLL: Tri-Rail to MIA or Downtown Miami (not ideal for first-time visitors with luggage)
4. When to Arrive (and When to Avoid Landing)
Avoid peak landing times:
-
Weekdays 3 PM – 7 PM (airport + highway traffic combo)
-
Holidays and weekends: Heavier wait times for rental cars, luggage, and rideshares
Best times to land:
5. Plan Your Arrival Time With Check-In
If you’re staying with Ero Rentals, you’ll receive:
-
Clear check-in instructions in advance
-
Secure keyless entry or lockbox codes
-
Support if you need early check-in or luggage drop-off options
Tip: If you land early, use the time to grab a bite, walk the beach, or explore a nearby café before heading to your rental.
6. Things to Have Ready Before Landing
-
Rideshare app downloaded and updated
-
Address of your rental saved or printed
-
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a water bottle for immediate Miami heat
-
Lightweight clothing in your carry-on if arriving from colder climates
-
Travel insurance and ID (especially if you’re renting a car)
7. Final Travel Tips
-
Miami is warm year-round — dress light, hydrate, and don’t forget flip-flops
-
Spanish is widely spoken, but English is also standard
-
Tipping is expected: 15–20% for service, $1–2 per bag for help
-
Download offline maps or screenshots in case cell signal is spotty on arrival
