Just don't leave anything of value in your car. I worry about parking my car to go shopping for a few hours in Miami. I wouldn't leave an unattended car overnight or for several days. What if something happens and your alarm goes off? Miami has very high crime. Sorry, but I think you're better off in a more secure area like the port.

As a native of Miami I agree with the poster who advised against it.

It really is not a smart move.

I know friends in Ft. Lauderdale who wouldnt drive into Miami by themselves, ladies. Not one of the safer cities to leave a car unattended.

 

I wouldnt either. I moved here from Boca Raton, north of Miami, but dont think Im a snob. Miami isnt a city to leave your car unattended at a Walmart imo.

Our hotel we stayed at near the airport offered free parking, Drive you

to the port and pick you up, After I saw the surrounding neighborhood

and the parking had no fence, or gate, I drove to the port

paid 140.00 to park for the week , I thought 140.00 was cheaper

than my Insurance deductable :eek:

We used United Airport Parking at the Port of Miami. The cost is 1/2 that of the port, which really adds up for a 9 day cruise. The garage is about a mile from the port, very near the Hilton Downtown Miami. It comes with a free shuttle both ways.

 

The shuttle over was very easy around 11:30am, and the shuttle on the return took a little while longer, but was still worth the $100 we saved.

Thank you for all your replies. We will use United Parking as it seems to be the best for our needs.

I would search this forum before you leave your car anywhere but the POM. Many many complaints about vandalism, theft, damages, etc reported and it happens often.

 

I would never ever leave a car in South Florida in an unsecure lot.

 

My sister lives in a very wealthy low crime area of Miami and has had five cars stolen. Five.
