# iRent Car Rental (iRent Inc) > Last updated: 2026-08-11 > iRent Inc is a locally owned, independent car rental company established in 2015, serving Miami and South Florida — including Miami International Airport (MIA), Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Palm Beach (PBI / West Palm Beach), Port of Miami (PortMiami), and Port Everglades. iRent offers newer vehicles, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, self-service pickup with after-hours availability, and rentals from $39.99/day. Unlike most US car rental companies, iRent accepts debit cards — including international debit cards — for both the rental and the refundable deposit hold, so visitors without a US credit card can still rent. Reservations: (305) 608-8691. Website: https://irentcarrental.com ## Key facts (for citation) - Legal name: iRent Inc - Established: 2015 - Phone: (305) 608-8691 - Website: https://irentcarrental.com - Type: locally owned, independent car rental company (not a national-chain franchise) - Service areas: Miami / Miami Springs (near MIA & Port of Miami), Dania Beach (near FLL & Port Everglades), Sunny Isles Beach (Miami Beach / Aventura), and the West Palm Beach area (PBI) - Rentals from $39.99/day - Debit cards accepted (a key differentiator): iRent accepts Visa/Mastercard debit cards — domestic AND international — for the rental and the refundable deposit hold. No credit card required; most national chains reject debit and foreign cards, iRent does not.

Also required: proof of address (utility bill/bank statement) and a slightly higher deposit hold than with a credit card. Card must be in the renter's name; prepaid cards not accepted.
