Miami’s rainy season brings intense downpours and sudden ponding, so a little planning goes a long way. With flexible car hire, you can adapt to weather windows and keep your itinerary moving while staying safe.
Before you drive
Choose a vehicle with good ground clearance if you expect heavy showers, and review coverage details before you go. You can always pick up centrally in Downtown Miami or pivot to Miami Beach if your plans change. Pack a small towel and plastic bags to protect electronics, and keep footwear that handles puddles.
On the road: safety first
Avoid driving through standing water, even if it looks shallow—turn around and take a parallel route. Increase following distance, use headlights in rain, and never stop on flooded lane lines. If water rises above the curb, find higher ground and wait it out. When visibility deteriorates, pull into a lot and pause until the cell moves on.
After the storm
If you encounter deep puddles, photograph the area and the vehicle before moving. For quick swaps or returns, airport locations like MIA make exchanges straightforward, while city branches keep you close to your hotel. Dry floor mats and wipe door seals to prevent musty smells.
