Well, cr*p. It appears that Miami Park N Fly is being taken over. This is NOT good news. They did a great job. We used to use Miami Fast Park. They were great, and then they got bought out. Now these guys. What is it about, when you find someone that does a good job, they go out of business???????
Anyone have experience with The Parking Spot??

So, answering my own question, definitely NOT a good thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These people charge EIGHTEEN DOLLARS A DAY. I was getting Park N Fly for usually around $12 a day. And they charge $5.95 just to make a reservation! Ridiculous. Somehow I had several free days through Park N Fly, so I made this reservation for June. But I will be looking for another place to park next time.

I'm going with the new people for June, just because of the free days. I will look around to see what else I can find. Perhaps think about spending the night somewhere in future.

erb- Nearest car rental to here is about 40 minutes. Doesn't seem to make sense to me. We usually spend about $150-$200 for 10-12 days parking.

Check out EB Hotel Miami...stayed a few times now(3 or 4) when I see the Doc early morning at Jackson Memorial, excellent, covered parking, free ride to and from airport and out of season should get well under 200 a night, maybe a few nights up to 7 free, can't remember what I last read, and then about $12.00 a day. Read the reviews from trip advisor and you will see what I mean. Could be worth your while and a nice rest, plus consider coming back and staying the night, so more refreshed.

bran--I might check it out, thanks. Is the parking SECURED? I have read tales of peoples' vehicles being stolen or stripped for parts at some Miami hotels, and the hotel took ZERO responsibility for it.

OK, the question re 'secured' is, can someone just drive up and get in your car, do whatever magic they do to steal the car and drive away? The cars that were stolen or vandalized at other hotels were on lots that had no gates, fences, etc.

DannynGinger--no, I don't have handicapped parking sticker. Of course, around here I see them all the time--some 25 year old guy by himself, in perfect health, driving a pickup truck, jacked up to the hilt! But I digress..
pasnyder--will check it out.

Guess I will soon learn. Made The Parking Spot reservation for May 29-June 14 @ $14.40 a day covered parking. Question? If you are staying at a local airport hotel before flying out the next day, will parking shuttle take you there or just to MIA? Thanks...

panman--well, that's interesting, when I made a reservation the other day, it was $18 a day, after my 'free days'. You would need to ask the hotel that question, but my guess would be a resounding no.

Only stayed at a couple of fleabag hotels in Miami before ourselves. Uber is not an option for us,
