On July 4, 2021, my car broke down near Pembroke Road and I -95 in Hollywood Florida Looking for towing companies.

I was new in town and did not know what to do.

I started asking myself these questions frequently:

1.) Who picks up junk cars near me?

2.) Who buys cars in Hollywood, Florida?

3.) Who buys junk cars for cash?

4.) How can I give them my title if I don’t have one?

5.) Who takes care of junk cars?

What towing companies can I call in Miami?

In Florida, selling junk cars was easy for me.  I called a  towing company near me and they showed up in 10 minutes. They said,” This car is a junk car, I can buy it for $500.00 cash.”  He helped me with the title process and in 5 minutes the car was gone. I used those $500 to get a rental and went back home.

It was not an easy experience, but without the help of that driver, I would not be alive today.  He mentioned that the I95 was a super dangerous highway. Even the truck driver didn’t like to help people on the highway. Many of them got killed by another driver because of high traffic. 

He recommended to me a triple AAA roadside assistance membership. He said it was cheaper to get especially when you are traveling. Unless you have a rental because the majority of rentals cover that service roadside assistance.

I took his advice because I would not like to repeat that experience on the road.

Miami is crazy when it comes to traffic. The peak hours between 8:00 am to 10:00 am and 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm are when you get the most traffic. Parking has easy access at these times as well but during holidays 0r other major events it is better to use a service like uber or lyft.

The best advice for getting around Miami

Getting around with a damaged vehicle is frustrating. What I suggest is getting a rental at any of the enterprise rental services. They have affordable cars.

Most people order food nowadays but when it comes to Miami, they offer a variety of food from all over the world. Miami is a cultural food hub when it comes to culinary art. 

However, without a good car to get you around, it is just unpredictable what can happen next. Many people tend to use car rentals but those could be expensive. Miami parking is $20.00 per day for 5 hours. That can really add up. 

Uber or Lyft is convenient but at the end of the day, $25.00 a ride you move 5 times per day can be expensive.
