Getting Around in Miami

There is a very bus network across Miami, though by far the best way to get around and see all that the areas has to offer is to arrange car hire in Miami. Most of the main car hire companies have a depot either at Miami airport or in the city itself, but it is important to arrange the hire car prior to travel to ensure you get what you want, and don't end up cruising down the beachfront in a practical hatchback, when the idea was to be in a convertible sports car.
