Holger Pfarr
"By far cheaper than all rental car offers."
Sharon Radford
"Quick and easy"
Bill Harshbarger
"I really liked the reservation screen for pickup times...side by side let's you easy match pick-up drop off.
The vehicles were the best price (discounted prices for European travelers in the US at thus writing), otherwise rental car prices are rather high these days.
Insurance is about peace of mind. Hola is over the top covering many of those extras the agent wants you to buy.
And toll coverage up to 5%. Super. Without human attendants anymore, it's complicated in the Bay Area and particularly expensive in Miami (!) Auto companies see it as an opportunity to sell you lots of Toll coverage.
Finally, what I did not notice was, "not knowing what I was renting" which is often noticed just before you press 'book'. The question did not enter my mind, that's a good thing.
Their AI agent, perfectly better. Very good advice.
And I did have the need to cancel and rebook. With the app, effective and bug free. One refund was credited in a hour. Another may take a few days, but will post. Also the app will display prices in the currency you select.
Looking forward to booking with Hola again"

"This is not the first time we’ve rented cars through Hola, and each time we’re absolutely satisfied! Their service is excellent — always available, providing immediate responses, quickly solving any issues with kindness, and handling everything directly with the rental companies when needed.
Even when a refund was required, they took care of it fully without any hassle. The personal, reliable, and professional approach makes all the difference.
A fantastic experience every time, and I’ll definitely keep renting through them and highly recommend them to everyone"

"Searching for two weeks car hire in Florida. Hola were very competitive against the group I wanted to book, the website was easy to use and confirmation received immediately"
Dwight Thompson
"The experience was excellent, fast and easy with the least effort required to chose a car. From past experience the counter experience was favourable at Budget Miami Airport with no issues. This was the first time an agent at a rental desk did not try to sell me additional insurance or toll pass.
My only concerns for this booking was the price gap was too high for standard cars compared to the basic cars."
Steve Hornby
"Very easy to book
Very easy to pay
And the best deal I could find by quite a long way
Added price of mind was the 4.8 stars on trust pilot with 3000+ ratings"
mandy hughes
"Unfortunately I had to cancel my booking with Hola Car Rentals for personal reasons. I was assisted by the Sales Manager Karen to do this. After completing the cancellation efficiently and promptly she went above and beyond to help me with several additional questions I had. Based on my experience I would highly recommend Hola Car Rentals Customer service and would definitely use them again. Their rental prices were very competitive too."
Natalia Vazquez Sotelo
"I highly recommend Hola Car for their excellent service and great price. We arrived many hours late and were worried, but they answered all my questions immediately, even though it was a Sunday. Thank you so much for your help!"
Chris Burnham
"great prices easy to book definitely use again"
constanza cecchi
"The app is great and reliable. Although they try to add extra insurance when you arrive to pick up the car, you just have to insist and say no. Otherwise, everything is fine."
Alejandro Arenal
"Hola is amazing, has everything you need.
Thanks"

"Good car and price"
Wheeling and dealing Uk
"Cheap and easy to use covers all insurances etc seems to have been made easy"
차Mihye
"As a Korean, I used the app to rent a car in California. The Dollar Rent-a-Car employee at the San Francisco branch was rude and insisted I purchase additional insurance ($25 per day) because the insurance I purchased through the Hola app was inadequate. However, Hola insisted that the full coverage policy applied and helped me cancel the additional insurance I had purchased at the Dollar Rent-a-Car location. I'm satisfied with Hola's customer service, but I think the Dollar Rent-a-Car employee's practice of selling additional insurance needs to be addressed."

Renting a car through them is a guarantee."

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the easiest places to pick up a rental car in Miami Beach if I’m staying around South Beach?
For travellers staying in South Beach, the most convenient rental pick‑ups are usually the non‑airport locations located directly in the neighbourhood. Many major rental agencies have branches along prominent streets like Collins Avenue or Washington Avenue, often within walking distance of numerous hotels. Choosing one of these local offices lets you settle into your accommodation first and pick up your vehicle without needing a separate trip back to the airport. This simplifies logistics, especially if you don’t need a car for your whole stay, and helps you avoid airport traffic when you’re ready to explore.
What’s the smoothest way to get from a Miami Beach rental pick‑up to Ocean Drive without dealing with the busiest blocks?
To reach Ocean Drive smoothly after collecting your rental, use the less congested north‑south avenues where possible. Instead of heading straight to Collins or Washington Avenues, which can be slow, consider using Alton Road on the west side of the island to travel south. Once you are parallel to Ocean Drive, cut across on a numbered street such as 5th or 15th Street. This approach helps you bypass the heaviest pedestrian and vehicle traffic, allowing a more relaxed start to your drive before entering the vibrant but often crowded Art Deco district.
If my hotel is on Collins Avenue, what’s a realistic plan for handling luggage during rental car pick‑up and drop‑off?
When your hotel is on a busy road like Collins Avenue, managing luggage during rental car transitions takes some planning. The most practical approach is to have one person wait with the bags at the hotel’s designated loading zone or in the lobby while the other collects the car from the nearby rental office. On return, reverse the process: drop off luggage and your party at the hotel first before going to the rental agency. Bringing all your luggage to a small rental counter can be cumbersome, and double‑parking on Collins is often not a viable or safe option.
How do I plan my route out of Miami Beach if I’m trying to avoid the most stressful causeway merges?
To minimise stress when leaving Miami Beach, consider using the Julia Tuttle Causeway (I‑195), which generally offers more straightforward, motorway‑style merges onto I‑95. The MacArthur Causeway is more scenic but can involve navigating city traffic and complex junctions before you need to accelerate onto the mainland highway. Before you set off, preview the route in your GPS app and note the lane you’ll need for your exit. Leaving during off‑peak hours, such as mid‑morning or early afternoon, can also make the experience significantly calmer.
What should I know about driving through Miami Beach during spring break crowds and street closures?
Driving in Miami Beach during spring break requires considerable patience and advance planning. Expect major congestion, particularly in South Beach, with frequent road closures and detours set up by law enforcement to manage crowds. Major arteries like Ocean Drive are often closed to vehicles, and access to Collins and Washington Avenues can be restricted in the evenings. It’s best to park in a secure garage and rely on walking, ride‑share or public transport for local travel. If you must drive, allow for double or triple normal travel time and stay updated on traffic alerts.
How early should I aim to leave Miami Beach by car for an early‑morning flight out of Miami International?
For an early‑morning flight from Miami International Airport (MIA), a conservative approach is best when departing from Miami Beach. Plan to leave at least three to four hours before your flight’s departure time. While pre‑dawn traffic is typically light, unexpected congestion on the causeways or accidents can cause significant delays. This buffer covers the drive, rental car return, the shuttle to the terminal and airport security queues. It’s always preferable to have extra time at the gate than to risk a stressful rush.
What’s it like driving from Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale‑Hollywood Airport at rush hour?
Driving from Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale‑Hollywood Airport (FLL) during rush hour can be challenging and time‑consuming. The trip involves using a causeway to reach the mainland and then heading north on I‑95, one of the most congested highways in the country at peak times. A drive that might take 45 minutes in light traffic can easily extend to 90 minutes or two hours. To reduce stress, consider leaving well before or after the typical rush windows (07:00–09:00 and 16:00–19:00) or look at alternative routes like US‑1, though it has many traffic lights.
If I’m landing at FLL but staying in Miami Beach, when does it make sense to pick up the car?
When flying into FLL for a Miami Beach stay, the best time to pick up your rental depends on your itinerary. If you plan to explore areas beyond Miami Beach immediately, collecting the car at the airport is most efficient. However, if your first day or two will be spent solely on the beach, consider taking a shuttle or ride‑share to your hotel first and picking up a car from a local Miami Beach rental office when you’re ready for day trips. This saves the hassle and cost of parking the car overnight on days you won’t use it.
Which Miami Beach areas are toughest for driving and turning around if I’m not used to tight streets?
Drivers unfamiliar with the area will find the South of Fifth (SoFi) neighbourhood and the streets between Collins and Washington Avenues particularly challenging. These areas have narrow lanes, heavy pedestrian traffic and a confusing grid of one‑way streets that make wrong turns hard to correct. The Art Deco district, especially near Ocean Drive, is also difficult due to constant cruising traffic and limited visibility at junctions. Use GPS, drive defensively and, when in doubt, circle a larger block rather than attempt a tight multi‑point turn.
What’s the best way to handle Miami Beach parking when my hotel only offers valet and I still want to use the car daily?
If your hotel’s valet feels restrictive for daily use, the best alternative is to find a nearby municipal parking garage. Miami Beach operates several multi‑storey garages, particularly in South Beach, that offer hourly and daily rates and can be more convenient and sometimes more economical than valet. Research garages within a comfortable walking distance of your hotel before you arrive. This gives you the freedom to access your car whenever you wish without waiting for a valet, making spontaneous trips much easier.
Are there Miami Beach spots where garage entrances are easy to miss, and how can I avoid circling endlessly?
Yes, many parking garage entrances in Miami Beach are surprisingly discreet, often tucked mid‑block or down narrow side streets. Entrances along busy roads like Collins Avenue are particularly easy to miss if you’re focused on traffic. To avoid circling, use the satellite view on your navigation app before you depart to get a visual of the entrance and surrounding landmarks. Knowing whether the entrance is on the right or left of a one‑way street can save you considerable time and frustration.
How should I plan a day in Miami Beach if I want to drive to one place, park once, and walk most of the day?
A ‘park once’ strategy is excellent for exploring Miami Beach. Target a centrally located public garage, such as those near Lincoln Road or the Miami Beach Convention Centre. From there you can easily walk to Lincoln Road Mall for shopping and dining, explore the Art Deco district on Ocean Drive, and enjoy the beach itself. This central spot acts as a hub, keeping you within a 15–20 minute walk of most major South Beach attractions, removing the stress of finding multiple parking spots and letting you fully immerse yourself in the area.
If I’m travelling with a stroller in Miami Beach, what should I consider about boot space and loading zones near hotels?
When travelling with a stroller, selecting a rental with ample and easily accessible boot space is key. An SUV or a people carrier can be a better choice than a standard saloon for accommodating a stroller along with luggage and beach gear. Regarding loading zones, be aware many Miami Beach hotels have very small, congested pick‑up and drop‑off areas. Plan to load and unload quickly, and consider one adult managing the children on the pavement while the other handles the stroller and bags to ensure safety and efficiency.
What’s the easiest way to reach the Miami Beach Convention Centre by car if I’m staying further north on the beach?
If you’re driving to the Miami Beach Convention Centre from Mid‑Beach or North Beach, taking Collins Avenue south is typically the most straightforward route. While it can be busy, it’s direct. As you near the 17th Street area, look for signs directing you to the public parking garage attached to the convention centre. Entering from 17th Street or Washington Avenue is usually the most efficient way to park, providing direct covered access to the venue without having to hunt for on‑street spaces.
How should I plan driving in Miami Beach during Art Basel week with heavy traffic and temporary restrictions?
Driving during Art Basel week requires extreme patience and strategic planning, as traffic across Miami Beach and the causeways becomes exceptionally heavy. It’s highly advisable to minimise driving where possible. If you must drive, depart much earlier than you think you need to, especially when heading to the Convention Centre or satellite fairs. Stay informed about temporary road closures and one‑way reversals, which are common. For most trips between venues, using ride‑share services, water taxis or event shuttles will be far less stressful than navigating gridlock and searching for scarce parking.
