Book and verify online, then receive your reserved Tesla, EV or SUV at an approved South Florida delivery, meeting-point or airport-garage location. No traditional rental counter or counter queue.
Contactless car rental lets a renter complete booking and required verification before reaching the vehicle rather than completing those steps at a traditional rental counter. With Amped Auto Rentals, customers book online, complete required verification digitally and receive vehicle-access and handoff instructions before their scheduled pickup.
Amped Auto Rentals does not operate a traditional rental counter. Required booking and verification steps are completed before the handoff, and the reserved vehicle is staged at the customer’s confirmed delivery, designated meeting-point or airport-garage location.
No. Counter-free and shuttle-free describe different parts of the rental process. At Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), for example, Amped customers use the airport’s Rental Car Center shuttle to reach Cypress Garage but do not complete a traditional Amped rental-counter transaction.

Amped Auto Rentals is a real South Florida car rental company, but it is built differently from a traditional rental counter. We don’t make customers stand in line at an airport counter or wait at a branch desk while paperwork is processed and extras are pitched. Amped rentals are handled by reservation, with the rental agreement, identity verification, payment and coverage requirements completed before vehicle handoff.
Customers choose scheduled delivery to a qualifying address or designated self-pickup at an approved meeting point in Miami Gardens or Hollywood. Our meeting points are selected for convenience: food and drinks, fuel, Tesla Supercharger access for compatible EVs, public visibility and easy road access. The goal is simple: get you into the right vehicle and on the road without the traditional rental counter experience.
Amped Auto Rentals is based in Miami Gardens, FL 33056 and operated by Clear, Bright & Smart Diversified Holdings LLC. It is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, a Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce member, and a Turo Power Host and All-Star Host. Vehicle delivery and handoff times are available from 5:00 AM to 11:30 PM, seven days a week, by reservation.
Several different operating models let a renter avoid or reduce the traditional service-desk transaction. They work differently, and eligibility and procedures vary by provider, program, airport and location.
Some traditional rental companies offer membership programs that can allow eligible renters to bypass or shorten the service-desk process — for example Alamo Skip the Counter, National Emerald Club, Avis Preferred and Budget Fastbreak. Availability, eligibility and the exact steps vary by airport, location, membership tier, booking and vehicle. The rental counter still exists in this model; qualifying renters are routed around it.
Some companies let customers complete parts of identity verification, payment, the rental agreement, vehicle assignment or vehicle access before arrival. What can be completed in advance differs between providers, and some steps may still need to be finished on site.
On peer-to-peer marketplaces such as Turo, the vehicle owner or host coordinates the handoff directly with the guest rather than a rental branch. Procedures are set by the host and the platform. Amped Auto Rentals participates on Turo as a host and is a Turo Power Host and All-Star Host; Turo is a separate marketplace, not an Amped platform. See rent with Amped through Turo.
Amped Auto Rentals completes booking and required verification before the handoff and stages the reserved vehicle at the customer’s confirmed delivery, designated meeting-point or approved airport-garage location. The renter receives the applicable access and pickup instructions. Vehicle-access methods differ by vehicle — Tesla vehicles may use digital phone-key access, while other vehicles use a secure physical-key workflow.
No. “Skip the counter” refers to avoiding the traditional rental service-desk transaction. It does not necessarily mean avoiding airport transportation.
At Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Amped Auto Rentals customers use the airport’s Rental Car Center shuttle to reach the Cypress Garage pickup area on Level 7, in the Peer-to-Peer area — but they do not complete a traditional rental-counter transaction with Amped. Counter-free and shuttle-free are separate things, and airport procedures differ by airport and by provider.
Miami International Airport handoffs use airport garage procedures rather than a traditional rental counter. Current operational garage relationships are the Dolphin Garage, commonly used for American Airlines arrivals, and the Flamingo Garage, commonly used for Southwest, Delta and Frontier. These are airport parking facilities, not Amped Auto Rentals branches. Your confirmed garage and level are included in the handoff instructions sent before pickup.
At FLL, pickups and returns take place in the Cypress Garage, Level 7, in the Peer-to-Peer area — the airport’s designated location for that type of handoff. Customers reach it using the airport’s Rental Car Center shuttle. For the full Broward lineup, see car rental in Fort Lauderdale or Tesla rental in Fort Lauderdale.
Most “skip the counter” programs are loyalty schemes that move you past a desk the company still operates. Amped Auto Rentals does not operate a traditional customer-facing rental counter, so there is no service-desk transaction to skip. The reserved vehicle is provided at your confirmed approved handoff location, such as a delivery address, designated self-pickup meeting point or approved airport-garage location, and you receive the applicable vehicle-access instructions.
Amped Auto Rentals is a delivery-focused South Florida car rental company with designated self-pickup meeting points, serving qualifying locations within 50 miles of Miami Gardens across Miami-Dade, Broward and qualifying parts of Palm Beach counties in South Florida. It does not operate a traditional customer-facing rental counter. Reserved vehicles are provided through approved delivery locations, designated self-pickup meeting points and approved airport-garage handoff locations — vehicles are delivered to the renter or collected at a designated self-pickup meeting point. Founded 2020, BBB accredited A+, Turo Power Host and All-Star Host.
Skipping the rental counter means collecting a rental vehicle without queuing at a service desk. Major agencies offer it through free loyalty programs — National Emerald Club, Avis Preferred, Budget Fastbreak, Alamo Skip the Counter — or through online check-in, which lets members walk past the desk to a numbered bay. With these programs, the provider still operates a traditional rental-counter model, but eligible renters may bypass or shorten the service-desk process. The exact pickup path varies by provider, airport, program and location. A delivery-focused company can remove that trip: there is no traditional customer-facing rental counter to visit, and the vehicle is provided at a confirmed delivery address, designated self-pickup meeting point or approved airport-garage location.
What is contactless car rental? It means every step happens without a desk. You reserve at book.ampedautorentals.com, verify your license and insurance online, and receive access instructions by text. Rates run $85–$115/day plus a $10/day booking fee, 7.5% Florida sales tax, and a $250 security deposit collected at the time of booking. We serve qualifying locations within 50 miles of Miami Gardens across Miami-Dade, Broward and qualifying parts of Palm Beach County — see all rental car delivery areas in Miami. Call or text (786) 981-1177.
⚡ Amped Auto Rentals is a fifth option: there is no traditional customer-facing rental counter to visit. We are delivery-focused, with designated self-pickup meeting points, across qualifying South Florida locations — so the counter isn’t skipped, it never exists. The vehicle comes to your hotel, home, an approved airport garage handoff location or cruise terminal, and you receive the applicable vehicle-access instructions. Tesla vehicles may use digital phone-key access; other vehicles use a secure physical-key workflow.
Fixed rates, listed in full. There is no separate fee simply for using Amped Auto Rentals’ contactless, counter-free rental process. Delivery and collection charges depend on rental length and qualifying location: delivery and collection are free on qualifying rentals of 7 days or longer, and rentals under 7 days carry a $120 flat delivery-and-collection fee.

Every fee itemized up front — the figures you would otherwise only discover at a counter.
That works out to $110.67 per day.
You are saving $59.50 with the 10% multi-day discount. Qualifying 7+ day rentals receive free delivery to qualifying locations. The $120.00 delivery fee shown in this estimate is waived once delivery eligibility is confirmed at booking. Using your own coverage saves $350.91 versus a protection plan.
Estimate only. Applicable toll charges are reconciled separately after the rental. Final pricing is confirmed at booking and may vary by date and availability.
Every Amped Auto Rentals vehicle includes an active SunPass transponder. Guests may use eligible Florida toll roads during the rental, and toll charges are reconciled after the rental through Amped Auto Rentals’ SunPass account.
Miami expressways are all-electronic and most toll points have no cash lane at all. Every Amped vehicle carries an active SunPass transponder, so there is nothing to collect, activate, or decline.
Toll rates and billing methods are set by the road operator. See the SunPass rate. Tolls are the one cost we cannot quote up front, since it depends entirely on where you drive.
Amped Auto Rentals requires qualifying insurance coverage or an applicable protection option before vehicle release. Customers who plan to rely on personal auto insurance must complete the required insurance verification, and the personal policy must extend appropriate coverage to the rental vehicle before Amped Auto Rentals will accept it. The difference is where that gets settled: online, before you arrive, rather than at a counter while a queue forms behind you.
If your current personal auto insurance includes comprehensive and collision coverage and Amped verifies that your rental coverage extends to the Amped vehicle you are renting, you may use your qualifying personal insurance instead of purchasing the $50.13/day Bonzah protection option. Personal insurance must be verified before the vehicle is released.
Claims under a personal policy are handled by that insurer according to its terms. Not sure whether yours qualifies? Call or text (786) 981-1177 and we will check before you book. See also: renting long-term without personal auto insurance.
Rental protection provided by Bonzah and purchased during checkout — a checkbox online, not a pitch at a desk.
Because this is billed daily, it adds up on longer trips — approximately $1,503.90 over 30 days. Planning a rental of 30 days or longer without qualifying personal auto insurance? Call (786) 981-1177 and we can help you compare the available booking options for your rental.

The same Amped fleet is listed two ways. Both are counter-free; the difference is how protection and payment are handled.

Amped Auto Rentals is a Turo Power Host and All-Star Host. If you do not have qualifying personal auto insurance and are planning a rental of 30 days or longer, booking an eligible Amped vehicle through Turo may be worth comparing with a direct booking because Turo offers its own protection-plan options.

Fair question when you are not renting from a household name. Here is exactly how each situation is handled.
The same number that answers before you book: (786) 981-1177. Call or text, 5:00 AM to 11:30 PM, seven days a week. You reach the people who operate the fleet, not an offshore queue.
We come to you, the same way we delivered it. Depending on the fault we repair, swap the vehicle, or arrange recovery. Replacement availability depends on the fleet and your dates.
The unused balance is. A $250 security deposit is collected at the time of booking. Any authorized charges under the rental agreement may be deducted from it, and the unused balance is refunded. It is disclosed here rather than discovered at a desk.
Amped Auto Rentals is operated by Clear, Bright & Smart Diversified Holdings LLC, a Florida company founded in 2020. We are BBB A+ accredited and a Turo Power Host and All-Star Host.
Vehicle-access instructions go only to the phone number on the booking and are sent shortly before you arrive. Tesla vehicles use phone-key access with no physical key at all.
Delivery and collection can be different approved locations. If your plans change, contact Amped as soon as possible. Schedule changes are subject to availability and Amped Auto Rentals’ 5:00 AM–11:30 PM pickup and return hours.
Common questions about renting without a counter. More at our full FAQ page.
It means you never stand at a rental counter, never queue, and never hand documents back and forth in person. You book online, verify your license and insurance digitally, and the reserved vehicle is staged at your confirmed approved handoff location. Vehicle-access and handoff instructions arrive by text. The standard process is designed to complete required booking and verification steps before the vehicle handoff.
Amped Auto Rentals does not operate a traditional customer-facing rental counter. Booking and required verification are completed before the handoff, and the vehicle is provided at a confirmed delivery address, designated self-pickup meeting point or approved airport-garage location.

Different companies use different models. Traditional agencies offer membership programs that can route eligible renters past the service desk, such as Alamo Skip the Counter, National Emerald Club, Avis Preferred and Budget Fastbreak. Some providers offer online or app-based check-in that completes part of the process before arrival. On peer-to-peer marketplaces such as Turo, a host coordinates the handoff directly. Amped Auto Rentals uses a counter-free model: it does not operate a traditional rental counter, and the reserved vehicle is staged at a confirmed delivery, meeting-point or airport-garage location. Procedures and eligibility vary by provider, program, airport and location.
“Skip the rental counter” means completing enough of the rental process before vehicle pickup that you do not need to complete a traditional service-desk transaction. The exact process varies by rental provider, program, airport and location. It does not necessarily mean avoiding airport transportation such as a rental car center shuttle.
Rates start at $85/day for the Chevrolet Equinox EV, $89 for the Tesla Model 3, $90 for the Nissan Rogue SV, $95 for the Tesla Model Y, and $115 for the Nissan Pathfinder SV. Add a $10/day booking fee and 7.5% Florida sales tax. A $250 security deposit is collected at the time of booking; any authorized charges may be deducted and the unused balance is refunded. There is no separate fee simply for using Amped Auto Rentals’ contactless, counter-free rental process. Delivery and collection charges depend on rental length and qualifying location: delivery and collection are free on qualifying rentals of 7 days or longer, and rentals under 7 days carry a $120 flat delivery-and-collection fee.
Amped Auto Rentals requires qualifying insurance coverage or an applicable protection option before vehicle release. Customers who plan to rely on personal auto insurance must complete the required insurance verification, and the personal policy must extend appropriate coverage to the rental vehicle before Amped Auto Rentals will accept it. If your policy includes comprehensive and collision coverage, the declarations page shows active dates, the named insured matches the renter, and Amped verifies the coverage extends to the rental vehicle, you may use it with no additional protection-plan charge — verified digitally through Canopy Connect before the vehicle is released. Otherwise Bonzah Standard Protection is $50.13/day, added at checkout. See the full comparison.
Every vehicle has a SunPass transponder already installed, so there is nothing to collect or activate. Miami expressways are all-electronic and most toll points have no cash lane. You drive through the SunPass lanes and applicable toll charges are reconciled after the rental through Amped Auto Rentals’ SunPass account. See the toll explainer above.
Yes. At MIA we meet you in the Dolphin or Flamingo Garage, and at FLL in the Cypress Garage, level 7. Provide your flight information when you book, or text it to (786) 981-1177, so Amped Auto Rentals can coordinate your scheduled airport handoff within its 5:00 AM to 11:30 PM pickup and return hours, subject to availability. Full details on the rental car delivery Miami page.
It depends what you need. Traditional agencies operate larger fleets and many more locations, so for one-way rentals across states they are often the practical choice. Amped’s counter-free process removes the service-desk transaction, and your reservation is tied to the specific fleet vehicle you selected rather than a vehicle class, subject to rental terms and operational contingencies. Free delivery and collection apply on qualifying rentals of 7 days or longer within Amped Auto Rentals’ service area.
Programs such as Alamo Skip the Counter and Budget Fastbreak can allow eligible renters to bypass or shorten the traditional service-desk process. Eligibility and pickup procedures vary by provider, program, airport and location. These programs operate within their respective rental-company systems. Amped Auto Rentals uses a different model: there is no traditional Amped rental counter, and the reserved vehicle is provided at a confirmed approved handoff location. Which approach fits a renter depends on the reservation, location and applicable program requirements.
No. Those describe different parts of the rental process. “Skip the counter” means avoiding the traditional service-desk transaction. At Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Amped Auto Rentals customers use the airport’s Rental Car Center shuttle to reach the Cypress Garage pickup area on Level 7, but they do not complete a traditional rental-counter transaction with Amped. Airport procedures vary by airport and provider.
Pickups and returns at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) take place in the Cypress Garage, Level 7, in the Peer-to-Peer area — the airport’s designated location for that type of handoff. Customers reach it using the airport’s Rental Car Center shuttle. The exact level and space are included in the handoff instructions sent before pickup.
No. Amped Auto Rentals does not operate a traditional customer-facing rental counter. Required booking and verification steps are completed before the handoff, and the reserved vehicle is provided at a confirmed delivery address, a designated self-pickup meeting point or an approved airport garage handoff location.
Amped Auto Rentals is built around customer convenience rather than a traditional rental counter. Meeting points allow customers to avoid airport counter lines, complete requirements before arrival, and pick up or return the vehicle at a convenient public location by reservation. Both designated meeting points, in Miami Gardens and Hollywood, offer food, drinks, fuel and Tesla Superchargers on site.
Vehicle-access instructions are sent before your scheduled pickup and depend on the vehicle. Tesla vehicles may use digital phone-key access; other vehicles use a secure physical-key workflow. The instructions you receive are specific to your reserved vehicle and handoff location.
A valid driver license and proof of qualifying insurance, verified digitally before the handoff as applicable to your booking. A $250 security deposit is collected at the time of booking. Any authorized charges under the rental agreement may be deducted from it, and the unused balance is refunded. Completing these steps in advance is what allows the handoff to happen without a service-desk transaction.
Pickup, return and delivery appointments are available from 5:00 AM to 11:30 PM, seven days a week. Third-party facility access hours, such as an airport garage, are separate from Amped’s handoff hours.
Yes, at qualifying locations within 50 miles of Miami Gardens, including Miami-Dade, Broward and qualifying parts of Palm Beach County. Delivery and collection are free on rentals of 7 days or longer at qualifying locations; rentals under 7 days carry a $120 flat delivery-and-collection fee. See rental car delivery in Miami for full details.
Yes. Amped Auto Rentals is a Turo Power Host and All-Star Host, and qualifying fleet vehicles may also be listed through Turo. Direct reservations are governed by Amped Auto Rentals’ rental terms, while Turo reservations are governed by Turo’s platform terms, policies and protection plans. If you do not have qualifying personal auto insurance and are considering a rental of 30 days or longer, contact Amped Auto Rentals and we can help you compare the available booking options. See rent with Amped through Turo.
