Valet or self‑park? Your hotel’s parking setup in Miami Beach should guide your vehicle choice. Below, we break down the pros and cons of compact cars, crossovers, SUVs, minivans, and convertibles—plus smart ways to save when you book your Miami Beach car rental with Hola Car Rentals.

If your hotel uses valet only

  • Compact/Midsize: Fast hand‑offs, easier curb space, and usually the lowest valet fees.
  • SUVs: Best for luggage and small groups, but check height limits before you arrive.
  • Convertibles: Fun for Ocean Drive, but luggage capacity is limited—use soft‑sided bags.

If your hotel has self‑parking

Self‑park garages in South Beach can be tight. Crossovers are a sweet spot; full‑size SUVs may feel bulky in spiral ramps. Price out a Downtown Miami car hire pickup if you’re arriving by Brightline or rideshare first.

Family and group setups

Three or more adults with beach gear? Compare an SUV rental at MIA against a minivan rental in Miami Beach. Minivans win on sliding doors and car‑seat spacing; SUVs offer higher ride height for flooded curbs after summer storms.
