- Parking: Miami Beach parking can be limited, so confirm parking availability before booking a stay there.
- Toll roads: If you will drive often, buying your own SunPass can be more economical than paying the rental company's daily toll program.
- Weather: Miami is hot, humid, and rainy in summer, and hurricane season runs from June through November.
- Safety: Tourist zones stay busy, but standard city precautions still matter, especially at night and in crowded areas.
