Miami International Airport has three terminals, labeled North, Central and South. Between them, they contain six concourses, lettered D (North Terminal); E, F, and G (Central Terminal; and H and J (South Terminal). Passengers can use moving walkways to navigate between terminals, or catch the Skytrain for a faster way to tackle the mile-long Concourse D.

Rental Cars at MIA Airport

The airport’s rental car center is connected to the Central Terminal via the MIA Mover people mover, located on the third level between the Dolphin and Flamingo garages. Use the third level Skyride moving walks to access the MIA Mover station. Feel like walking? The walk time from the arrival area to the tram could be as long as 15 minutes versus a four-minute ride on the MIA Mover.
