Drive Your Art: SIXT Brings Premium Mobility to Miami Art Week and Beyond
Miami has a way of turning every drive into part of the experience. During Miami Art Week, the city becomes a moving canvas of exhibitions, gallery openings, museum programs, private events and design showcases, with destinations stretching from Miami Beach and Wynwood to the Design District and beyond. And the right set of wheels lets you glide between them in style, entirely on your own schedule.
That is where SIXT comes in. With a premium fleet spanning luxury, SUV and compact vehicles and 15 convenient locations across South Florida, from Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale and key locales in between, SIXT lets visitors choose a vehicle that matches the way they experience Miami. Founded in Germany more than a century ago, SIXT is a leading global premium mobility provider with more than 130 branches across the U.S., and South Florida is home to SIXT's North America headquarters in Fort Lauderdale. Here, Miami Living looks at three art personalities and the SIXT vehicles that suit them best: The Curator, The Visionary and The Explorer.
The Curator
Vehicle: Premium SUV | BMW X7 or Cadillac Escalade
There is a certain confidence to the person who already knows what they are looking for.
The Curator does not rush through Miami Art Week. There is a schedule, but there is also room for discovery. A morning appointment in the Design District can lead to a gallery in Wynwood, followed by a museum visit, lunch in Miami Beach and an evening event downtown.
A premium SUV such as a BMW X7 or Cadillac Escalade fits that rhythm. Plush enough for a full day of gallery-hopping and spacious enough for companions, purchases and whatever the day brings, it makes a polished mobile headquarters for exploring Miami's art scene.
It is the vehicle for the Refined Collector: someone who appreciates design, understands quality and knows that getting there is part of the experience.
The Visionary
Vehicle: Luxury Convertible | BMW M440i Convertible or Bentley Continental Convertible
Miami was practically designed for the convertible.
For the Bold Contemporary Artist, the drive itself can become part of the Art Week experience. Top down, music on and the city moving around you, the route between exhibitions becomes another opportunity to take in Miami's architecture, neighborhoods and changing light.
A luxury convertible such as a BMW M440i Convertible, Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet or Bentley Continental Convertible brings a different energy to the trip. It is expressive, unmistakably Miami and made for the traveler who sees transportation as another form of personal style.
The Visionary is not simply going from one destination to another. The journey is part of the story.
The Explorer
Vehicle: Small & Sporty | BMW Z4 or MINI Cooper
Not every art adventure happens at a major fair or inside a polished gallery.
Miami's creative landscape extends into neighborhoods, warehouse districts, independent studios, pop-up exhibitions and street-art spaces. For the Emerging Artist and Street Art Enthusiast, a smaller vehicle can make exploring those places easier.
A small and sporty vehicle, such as a BMW Z4 or MINI Cooper, offers the agility to dart through city streets and slip into tight parking spots while keeping the design-conscious sensibility SIXT is known for.
The Explorer is curious. The destination might be a mural that wasn't there last year, an artist's studio discovered through a recommendation or a pop-up exhibition tucked away somewhere unexpected.
Small does not have to mean ordinary.
The SIXT Advantage in South Florida
The best part of renting during Miami Art Week is choice.
SIXT operates 15 locations across South Florida, including Miami International Airport, Miami Beach, the InterContinental Hotel in downtown Miami, Coral Gables, Doral, Aventura and Dadeland, along with Fort Lauderdale-area locations including Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, downtown Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale Beach and Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.
That network keeps your plans flexible well beyond Art Week. A visitor arriving at MIA can pick up a vehicle and continue directly to Miami Beach, while someone staying at a hotel can choose a nearby location rather than returning to the airport.
More Ways to Experience SIXT
The SIXT app puts the entire rental experience in your pocket, from booking and managing reservations to mobile check-in. SIXT ONE members can skip the counter and head straight to their vehicle. Joining SIXT ONE is free through the SIXT app or sixt.com, and members enjoy the best benefits when they book direct with SIXT.
For travelers who return to Miami throughout the year, SIXT ONE turns rentals into an ongoing rewards experience. The free program awards status and rental points on qualifying rentals, with members progressing from Silver to Gold, Platinum and Diamond, as status points are earned. Benefits include instant member savings of up to 20% depending on status, the ability to skip the counter and accelerated rental points earning at higher tiers, plus complimentary upgrades for Platinum and Diamond members, subject to availability. Rental points can be redeemed for savings on future qualifying rentals. Prefer to collect miles or hotel points instead? Members can choose to earn with participating airline and hotel partner programs.
For those looking beyond traditional rentals, especially snowbirds flying south for the winter, a SIXT+ subscription offers a flexible alternative to buying or leasing. Unlike buying or leasing, there is no down payment, just a one-time enrollment fee. From there, one monthly price covers maintenance, service and registration, with protection, mileage and extras tailored to you. Subscribers can swap vehicles every 30 days if they choose, depending on availability, and pause for up to three months or cancel simply by returning the vehicle. It is the premium way to try on a different BMW or Mercedes-Benz without a long-term commitment, and it is available in Miami.
SIXT ONE Rewards Program: Join free, enjoy member savings, earn points toward future rentals and skip the counter.
Miami Art Week Is Just the Beginning
The pleasure of a SIXT rental does not end when the art fairs close. South Florida is a year-round destination, and a car opens up a much broader geography. Drive from Miami Beach to Coral Gables for architecture and design, head north toward Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, explore galleries and cultural destinations along the coast, or make a day of getting out of the city.
For visitors, the car can also become a way to experience the region between major events rather than simply moving from one appointment to the next.
And that is ultimately what Drive Your Art is about. Book your SIXT vehicle in the SIXT app or at sixt.com, join SIXT ONE for free and make the whole of South Florida your gallery.
