Miami International Airport passengers and South Florida rental car customers now have a convenient, one-stop shop for all their rental car needs just east of MIA in the middle of Miami-Dade County. The MIA Rental Car Center (RCC), which opened on July 13, 2010 at 3900 N.W. 25th Street, consolidates under one roof the operations of 16 rental car companies currently serving the area surrounding MIA.
A new MIA Mover transports travelers from MIA's 3rd level train station located between the Flamingo and Dolphin garages to the RCC’s spacious fourth-level customer service lobby, where they can pick the company and vehicle of their choice from a combined inventory of 6,500 rental cars.
The RCC, projected to serve approximately 28,000 customers daily, has the capability to wash and re-fuel 300 vehicles per hour because of its multi-level fueling system - the first of its kind in the U.S. – and state-of-the-art Quick Turnaround Area, which includes 120 gas pump positions and 42 car wash bays on three vehicle storage levels.
In addition to improving the rental car experience for MIA passengers, the RCC reduces traffic congestion and air pollution at MIA as well. The new shuttle bus service cuts the combined rental car bus fleet from 120 buses to 60, decreasing total traffic at the airport’s arrivals level by 15 percent.
The shuttle bus service was replaced entirely on September 9, 2011 with the MIA Mover, an elevated, 1.25-mile automated people mover system that can transport 3,000 passengers per hour between MIA and the RCC and will reduce gas emissions at the airport by 30 percent.
