There is no excavator for rent in Miami on the site right now, because local owners have yet to join. If you have a dig to plan, post a request with the size and the address. If you own a machine that sits idle, list it and renters can phone you; listing is free at launch. Other cities appear on the national excavator rental page.
South Florida sits on porous limestone with groundwater only a few feet down. A pit for a parking garage or a utility vault fills quickly, so excavation goes hand in hand with dewatering pumps and shoring. Where the rock is hard, a hydraulic breaker or a rock bucket replaces the standard digging bucket, and hammering nearby buildings calls for care about vibration.
A compact excavator fits behind a house, in an alley or inside a parking structure. A mid-size crawler does most trenching and basement work. A larger machine moves volume on open sites. Ask whether the rental comes with a quick coupler, a thumb or a breaker, and what the bucket widths are.
Hauling a crawler to a downtown site means a lowboy trailer, an escort in some cases, and a delivery window outside rush hour. Mats protect curbs and landscaped areas. Wet-weather afternoons are frequent in summer, so build slack into the schedule.
Spoil has to go somewhere, and limestone spoil is heavy, so line up trucks before the excavator arrives. Silt fences and inlet protection keep runoff out of storm drains, and inspectors in the region check this closely. Backfill needs compaction in lifts, which is worth planning with a roller or plate.

Work from dig depth, volume and the access width. A short description of the job lets an owner suggest a class.
Not usually. Pumps are a separate item, so ask who supplies and fuels them.
Many renters bring their own operator. Others ask for an operated rental, so say which you want.
Sometimes, though trucking can cost as much as the hire. Ask each owner about its minimum.
The rental terms should say. Use mats and agree the responsibility in writing.
