    Miami airport has one of the longest average airport wait times in the United States for security. Get to the airport two hours before your domestic flight departs and three hours prior to the departure of international flights. If you rented from Avis, plan more time to return your rental car.

    Miami Beach is 12 miles from the city of Miami. With light traffic, it’s about an 18-minute drive. Bad news: it’s probably too far to walk from the airport to the beach between layovers. Good news: you can rent a car at the Miami airport with Avis and head directly to the beach.

    Miami and Miami Beach are two separate cities. They’re next to each other, so it can seem as though they blend into one another. The airport is in Miami, not Miami Beach. Miami Beach is on an island and can be accessed from Miami by a bridge.
