What You Need To Do Before Relocating to Miami
Set up your transportation options
There are dozens of ways to get around Miami, including Metrorail, Metromover, and Metrobus.
Getting on the Metrorail is a fast and inexpensive way to get from the Miami International Airport (MIA) through Downtown Miami to South Miami. It’s also the cheapest way to get around if you only go to one or two stops.
If you’re planning to explore Downtown Miami, Metromover is the best option. Not only is it free, but it also serves as a connection between Metrorail and Metrobus.
When you can’t reach your desired destination by Metrorail or Metromover, ride on a Metrobus. You can buy an Easy Card for monthly passes or an Easy Ticket if you rarely visit Miami.
Find your local bank and healthcare providers
Miami has plenty of banks, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding one that fits your needs and budget. The same goes for healthcare providers.
Bank of America, Regions Bank, and Iberia Bank are a few of the leading banks in Miami.
When it comes to healthcare providers in Miami, you have plenty of options. Make sure you know what your insurance plan covers. Find out which doctors’ offices and medical care facilities belong to your in-network providers, so you don’t incur higher rates for out-of-network services.
Find a job
Chances are, if you’re relocating to the Miami area, you’ve already got a job lined up, but if not, Miami is a bustling city with plenty of opportunities for job seekers. The city’s population is growing, and its economy is booming, with unemployment steadily declining.
Some of the best organizations to work for in the area include:
- Baptist Health South Florida
- University of Miami
- American Airlines
- Carnival Cruise Lines
- Miami-Dade County Public Schools
- Miami-Dade County
- Jackson Health System
- Wells Fargo
- JP Morgan Chase
