This time we land at 10pm on a saturday night near the end of July and as we are staying in Marco Island I plan on staying the night at the on airport hotel and then taking the shuttle bus for car hire at 10am on the Sunday morning so I don't know how busy the rental place will be and at the moment are undecided between Dollar and Alamo.

I've stayed at the onsite hotel at MIA a few times recently and like the convenience of it when I land but it's over double the cost of a nearby hotel and the breakfast is lousy and overpriced. The landside eateries in that terminal are also pretty poor so I tend to get on my way much earlier than 10 am and I'm often flying on from MIA the next day anyway.

The shuttles and the rental depots are very quiet in the mornings so that should work in your favour. I'm there again next week renting from Alamo so I'll post my experience for your information. This time I'm staying at the airport Sofitel which is much nicer (and much cheaper) than the onsite hotel and their shuttle will take you to the car rental depot from there in the morning.

I would hope that by late July you'll be using the new facility.
