Hotels fill up, galleries multiply, and schedules go late—Miami Art Week is the ultimate test of logistics. If you want the freedom to hop between the Beach and the mainland, secure your car hire early and plan your movements around show hours and causeway traffic.
Driving between the Beach and the mainland
MacArthur and Julia Tuttle handle the bulk of event flow. Build extra time for cross‑bay trips, and consider parking once near the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) or in a mainland garage, then walking or using a trolley to your venue cluster.
Parking like a local
- Use municipal garages. They’re often better priced than small lots and allow mobile payment.
- Check event blocks. Some streets turn into pedestrian zones; confirm access windows near MBCC before you drive.
- Valet for key nights. When parties stack after 9 p.m., valet at a central hotel can be the “one stop” that saves 30 minutes of circling.
The right vehicle for art week
Compact sedans are easiest to slot into tight garages around Collins and Washington. For group gallery crawls, book an SUV—see SUV hire at MIA. Staying oceanside without parking included? Compare neighborhood pick‑ups on our Miami Beach car hire page. Prefer a brand view? Check Alamo at MIA or Downtown Miami car hire.
Time‑saving playbook
- Cluster your shows. Tackle MBCC in one session, then Little Haiti/Little River galleries as a separate outing.
- Plan late‑night moves. Cross the bay after the rush; early a.m. is often the calmest time to reposition your car.
- Mind garage height. SUVs and vans may exceed limits in older structures.

FAQs
Is parking near MBCC realistic? Yes, but arrive early and target municipal garages or vetted valet stands.
Should I rely on rideshare instead? A rental gives you control for Wynwood/Little River nights and airport runs without surge pricing.
