When I was planning my trip to Miami, I knew public transportation wasn't my thing. I wanted freedom of movement, spontaneous trips to the beach, shopping, or just to a neighboring city. That's how my car rental story began, which turned out to be surprisingly simple, profitable, and, frankly, even enjoyable — all thanks to CarForLong.
A 34-day trip and the choice of Kia Soul
I arrived in Miami at the end of April and immediately decided: if I'm going to rent a car, then for a long time. There are many options on the market, but I only found truly honest and clear terms on https://carforlong.com/car-rental/ the official website. By the way, these guys have been working since 2015 and specialize in long-term rentals, from a month and more. The company's name is not just a marketing ploy, but a real philosophy: everything they do is based on trust, honesty, and comfort.
I chose the Kia Soul — a compact, nice-looking, and comfortable car for the city. The rental cost me $880 for 34 days, which, by my comparisons, was the best deal for such a car in Miami. No hidden fees, no insurance that later “pops up” on the check — everything is included in the price. And this is not a marketing “all-inclusive,” but a real one: taxes, insurance, fees — everything was in order. Even a child seat, if needed, is free.
Transparent deposit and no surprises
The deposit was $500. I was worried, as is usually the case with rentals: delays, deductions, disputes. But everything turned out differently. On the day of returning the car, I was immediately refunded the entire amount minus the toll road fee - $23.19 (SunPass is included in the car, and you just pay as you go). And I thought it would be more - I drove a lot. But it turned out to be reasonable.
A very important point: CarForLong warns that the car must be returned clean and with a full tank. I did so, and no questions arose. The paperwork at the office took literally a few minutes and was even pleasant - polite employees, a cozy office, a feeling that you are important as a client.
Rental conditions: fair and to the point
CarForLong rents out cars for personal use only, and I think this is a big plus. Working for Uber or delivery is prohibited, so the cars are not "killed", but well-maintained and in really good condition. The entire fleet is carefully maintained - this is visible at first glance.
Besides:
Minimum rental period: one month
Driver age: from 26 to 70 years
Experience: from one year
Payment - cash only, no cards
No prepayment required
Cars are only issued at the Miami office, but they are met for free at the airport
Travel outside of Florida is prohibited, but to be honest, I was never bored in Florida either - so many routes, beaches, parks and towns!
Why I will choose CarForLong again
Firstly, I got what was promised and even a little more - peace of mind and confidence that no one will "pop up" with additional fees or strange conditions. Secondly, this company does not feel pressure on the client. Everything is simple: choose a car on the website, fill out a short form, arrive - and in 10 minutes you are already behind the wheel. Without a bunch of documents, without sudden "but I also need insurance for $300."
Thirdly, they have a really cool fleet of cars: from fuel-efficient hybrids to SUVs and even convertibles, such as the Ford Mustang - if you really want to feel the wind of freedom on the Miami highways.
My Car Month in Review
To be honest, I’m not sure my travel would have been as rich and free without a car. Morning trips to the beaches, evening walks along the embankments, trips to Key Largo and back, spontaneous visits to Tarpon Springs and West Palm Beach — all this would not have been possible without personal transport. Renting from CarForLong has become not just a convenience, but a part of my trip, and I’m grateful that I chose them.
So, if you are planning a long trip to Miami or Florida in general, I recommend not to waste time and contact CarForLong right away. Not only because they have good prices, but because they know how to make rent simple, understandable and humanly honest. And this is a rarity these days.
