Miami International Airport MIA is located nine miles northwest of Miami, south-east Florida, and accessible via I-95 South (exit: State Road 112). It is the third-busiest airport in the U.S. In 2008 the airport welcomed an astounding 34 million passengers. What's more, the airport serves close to half a million passengers each week with destinations on the North and South American Continent and Europe. Miami International Airport, with its four runways, is a major hub for American Airlines, and is host to a multitude of domestic and international airlines and charters offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.
The Terminal complex at Miami Airport has a semicircular shape with North, Central & South Terminals surrounding the parking areas. The North Terminal, after extensive renovation, has now only one Concourse D, while the Central Terminal has Concourses E, F & G, and the South Terminal has Concourses H & J.

Parking facilities at Miami Airport are available at a two-level short-term parking lot directly in front of Concourse E, and 2 seven-story parking garages (Dolphin and Flamingo) located within the terminal's curvature and connected to the terminal via overhead walkways on Level 3. It is expected that the Flamingo Garage will be expanded in the near future to serve the new Concourse J. The two parking garages are connected at their westernmost end. The following parking choices are available: Valet Parking (across from Concourses B&C), Short- & Long-term parking, and the Economy Park & Ride surface lot:
1. Short-term parking is available at (a) The Dolphin garage is accessible to the North Terminal (Concourses C and D) and Central Terminal (Concourses E and F) and is located across from Customs E on both the departure or arrival level. The Flamingo garage is closest to the South Terminal (Concourses G, H and J) and is accessible only on the arrival level. If either lot is full you will have the option of parking in the Dolphin and Flamingo garages. (b) Upper Short-term: accessible via the departures level; (c) Lower Short-term: on the arrivals level /baggage claims, follow signs to lots.
2. Long-term parking at the Dolphin Garage serves the North Terminal (Concourses C, D, and E) and the Flamingo Garage serves the South Terminal (Concourses F, G, H and J) and can be accessed on the arrivals or departure levels of the airport. The main entrance to both garages is off Central Blvd; keep left as you approach the terminal.
3. Economy Park & Ride Surface Lot is located at 1350 NW 45 Avenue - Miami, Fl 33126, with free shuttle buses to/from the terminals and pick-up/drop-off service is at designated covered stops throughout the parking lot and on the curb of the arrivals roadway. Directions: On entering from Central Blvd., drive all the way through the departure level as if you were going to exit the airport--then take Exit 5 and follow the 'Economy Park & Ride' signs. When entering from Perimeter Road take Perimeter Road to Northwest 14th Street.
4. Designated disabled permit parking and stroller permit parking is next to moving sidewalks on the 3rd level of the garages. Additional disabled permit parking is available for wheelchair accessible vehicles on the ground level, at the easternmost section of the Dolphin garage.

Rental Car Agencies: Some select agencies have registration counters or Information/Reservation Boards located inside the baggage claim area, on the Arrival/Ground Level of the North and Central Terminal. The South Terminal has a rental car phone center at the Information & Reservation Boards on the Arrival/Ground Level and 3rd floor. Actual Vehicle pick-up is located at various off-site areas, accessible by courtesy shuttles for each rental car company. Shuttles for individual rental agencies pick up outside of the baggage claim area on the median curb on the Arrival/Ground Level. When returning the rental car, follow the posted signs to your rental car agency--allow at least a half hour for shuttles to the airport. NOTE: The new four-level, consolidated Rental Car Center ('RCC"), accommodating up to 6,500 vehicles, is open as of May 2010, and is located one mile dast of MIA Airport. As of that date, all on-Airport, and some off-Airport rental car agencies will operate out of RCC. A consolidated shuttle service will run between the terminals and RCC until, two year later, the MIA People Mover will begin its service.
