The short version: The Miami Open is two weeks of world-class tennis at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens -- and the parking lot is half the show. A Bentley Continental GT for a 3-day weekend runs about $2,400. A Rolls-Royce Cullinan is $3,600. Multi-day rentals get discounted rates and free delivery to your hotel in Brickell or South Beach.
This guide covers the best cars for the drive to Hard Rock, parking logistics, real pricing, and how to build a full Miami Open weekend around tennis, nightlife, and dining.
What Is the Miami Open?
The Miami Open is one of the biggest professional tennis tournaments outside the four Grand Slams. It runs for roughly two weeks in late March through early April, with the men's and women's draws overlapping. Since 2019, it's been held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens -- the same venue that hosts the Dolphins, the Super Bowl, and the F1 Miami Grand Prix.
The crowd skews wealthy and international. You'll hear French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian in the stands. Fashion matters. People dress for it. And the parking lot at Hard Rock during the Miami Open is a car show that nobody organized but everyone showed up to. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royces lined up next to catered tailgate setups. It's the kind of event where the car you arrive in is part of the experience.
That's what makes it different from renting an exotic for a club night or a beach day. The Miami Open is a daytime event with a 30-40 minute drive on I-95 or the Turnpike, VIP parking lots with actual visibility, and a crowd that knows what they're looking at. The right car matters here.
Best Cars to Drive to the Miami Open
Not every exotic works for this. You need something comfortable enough for a 30-40 minute highway drive, impressive enough for the parking lot scene, and ideally something with trunk space if you're bringing bags, a cooler, or a change of clothes for dinner after.
Grand Tourers -- The Smart Pick
A grand tourer is built for exactly this scenario: eat highway miles in comfort, look incredible when you arrive. The Bentley Continental GT at $895/day is the best value play for the Miami Open. W12 engine, 626 HP, quilted leather interior, and a trunk that actually fits luggage. You'll cruise up I-95 in near-silence and pull into the VIP lot looking like you own a box suite.
If you want four doors and more presence, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan at $1,395/day is the ultimate tennis car. It seats four adults comfortably, has massive cargo space, and nothing in a parking lot commands more attention than a Cullinan. It's also the car that says you didn't just come for the tennis -- you came for the whole weekend.
Luxury SUVs -- Bring the Crew
Going with a group? The Lamborghini Urus ($1,295/day) and Mercedes-Benz G63 ($895/day) both seat four to five people and handle the highway stretch without issue. The Urus is louder, more aggressive, and turns heads on sight. The G63 is the Miami staple -- you'll see a dozen of them at any Hard Rock event, but there's a reason for that. It works.
Supercars -- Maximum Impact
If parking lot presence is the priority and you don't mind a firmer ride on the highway, a Ferrari 488 ($1,395/day) or Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder ($1,295/day) will get more phone cameras pointed at you than any player walking into the stadium. These are 2-seaters, so they work best for couples or if you're going solo. The Huracan Spyder with the top down arriving at Hard Rock is a specific kind of entrance that people remember.
Fleet Manager's Tip: The Bentley Continental GT is my top pick for the Miami Open. Most people default to a Lamborghini or Ferrari, but the Continental GT hits every mark for this specific event -- highway comfort, trunk space for the day, and it stands out in the VIP lot precisely because it's not the obvious choice. You'll park next to ten Urus SUVs. The Bentley is the one people walk over to look at. Plus at $895/day it's the best value on this list.
Getting to Hard Rock Stadium: Routes & Parking
The Drive
Hard Rock Stadium is at 347 Don Shula Drive in Miami Gardens, about 20 miles north of Brickell and South Beach. Two main routes:
- I-95 North: The faster option. From Brickell, take I-95 N to NW 199th Street (exit 12B), then head west to the stadium. 25-35 minutes without event traffic. Add 15-20 minutes during peak session times.
- Florida Turnpike: From South Beach or Mid-Beach, take the Julia Tuttle Causeway (I-195) west to I-95 N, or head to the Turnpike via NW 36th Street. Slightly longer but sometimes less congested during events. 35-45 minutes.
Leave early for evening sessions. Gates typically open 60-90 minutes before the first match, and traffic on NW 27th Avenue near the stadium stacks up fast. If you're in a Lamborghini Huracan sitting in stop-and-go traffic, you want the top down and the AC situation sorted.
Parking
Hard Rock Stadium uses tiered parking. Options during the Miami Open typically include:
- General Parking: $40+ per session. Large lots, longer walk to the gates.
- Premier Parking: $100+ per session. Closer lots, wider spaces, quicker exit.
- VIP/Platinum Parking: $150+ per session. Closest to the stadium entrance. This is where the car show happens. If you're renting an exotic specifically for the arrival, this is the lot you want.
Buy parking passes in advance through the Miami Open website or Ticketmaster. Day-of availability exists but prices go up and the best lots fill. If you're bringing a low-clearance car like the Huracan or Ferrari 488, stick to the surface lots -- the parking garages at Hard Rock have steep ramps and tight turns that aren't ideal for anything sitting 4 inches off the ground.
Miami Open Rental Pricing & Multi-Day Deals
Most people attending the Miami Open aren't there for one day. The final weekend (semifinals and finals) runs Friday through Sunday, and plenty of people come down for 4-5 days to catch the quarterfinals through the championship. Multi-day rentals make more sense here than single-day bookings, both for convenience and cost.
| Car | Daily Rate | 3-Day Estimate | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bentley Continental GT | $895/day | ~$2,400 | Best all-around Miami Open car |
| Mercedes-Benz G63 | $895/day | ~$2,400 | Groups of 4, practical luxury |
| Lamborghini Urus | $1,295/day | ~$3,500 | SUV with supercar energy |
| Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder | $1,295/day | ~$3,500 | Parking lot presence, couples |
| Ferrari 488 | $1,395/day | ~$3,800 | The classic head-turner |
| Rolls-Royce Cullinan | $1,395/day | ~$3,800 | Ultimate comfort + presence |
Multi-day rentals of 3+ days include free delivery anywhere in Miami-Dade. That means we bring the car to your hotel in Brickell, South Beach, or Bal Harbour and pick it up when you're done. No Uber to a lot, no paperwork at a counter. For more on how single-day vs. multi-day pricing breaks down, we have a full guide on that.
Miami Open Weekend: Tennis + Nightlife Itinerary
The Miami Open is a daytime and early evening event. Matches start around 11 AM, and the night session wraps by 10-11 PM. That leaves plenty of room to build a full weekend around it.
