Miami hotels that allow 18-year-olds to check in

Club Space, a nightclub in Downtown Miami, sets its admission age by event. Its listings on the ticketing service DICE give the requirement for the particular night you're considering. When that event is the reason for booking a hotel at 18, check that night's age requirement before reserving the room. Club Space still leaves admission to its door staff; meeting the age requirement isn't a guarantee of entry.

Ultra Music Festival separates its age rules by ticket type. General Admission is open to people 18 and older, while VIP requires you to be 21. Before reserving a Miami stay around the festival, make sure your ticket is for a category you're old enough to use. Ultra also requires valid ID at entry.

Miami-Dade's Metrobus buses and Metrorail trains charge $2.25 for a regular ride. With an accepted contactless card or device, those fares stop at $5.65 per person for the day. For a stay with two days of travel at that maximum, covered fares total $11.30 per person.

Keep using the same card or device throughout the day. A phone and a watch count separately even if both are linked to the same bank card, so switching between them loses the combined cap. Each friend traveling with you needs a separate card or device, too. One person can't tap the whole group through on a single payment method.

Cash works differently on Metrobus, where you pay the full fare again each time you board. The contactless limit applies to Metrorail and Metrobus, so other transportation needs its own allowance.
