I normally get cheap rates on the oficial sites of the rental car companies: avis (www.avis.com), budget (www.budget.com), hertz, dollar, etc... You just need to inform that you are not from USA (they have a specific field to inform your home country). The prices for foreigners is much better than for americans. The best part is that you donīt need to pay in advance and they reserve the car for you. Also look if your milleage program offers disccounts (look at the partners list on the site) and if your credit card already includes the insurance LDW or CDW (some international credit cards offers this and can save you a lot of money).

go to Google (or wherever you go) and look for cheap car rentals. There are lots of options.
Before you ask for "all insurances" make sure that you don't purchase anything that you don't need. If you're not sure, ask for an explanation. Why? Because the car rental companies make most of their money selling insurance. Not only that, the employees get big incentives for selling the insurance.
Return the car with a full tank of gas. When you pick up the car, they'll ask you if youwant to prepay for gas. It's possible that you'll by gas 30 miles before you ret. So not only have you paid for a full tank in advance, you're giving them almost another full tank.

I have found calling car rental companies directly to be the simplest and best. Be sure to specifically ask for "cheapest option with full insurance". IMHO looking for independent or smaller companies is not particularly beneficial, the insurance is often more expensive than the car rental itself and the service can be spotty.

There are many reputable nation wide car rental companies at Miami International Airport. They are very easy to find if you google "Maimi airport car rental company"

Good luck.
