For parking street spaces are plentiful around here and reasonably priced. In effect 9am - midnight and 1.25 an hour, max 8 hours. There are also fixed priced garages not too far I recall. Finally, the Avis city location is a block and a half away so it can make sense to taxi in from the airport then pick up a car at Avis when you need it. As a bonus you save some of the airport taxes had you rented at MIA.
Not sure exactly when you where last in Miami Beach and what day of the week it was but street parking (meters) can be hard to find and almost impossible to find on most weekends (and a holiday weekend to boot) as a result paying for the convenience of valet at any hotel will pretty soon seem like a fantastic deal.
Added that the meter attendents are pretty aggressive and if left too long at an expired meter you will encurr the dreaded towing fee.
Most of the establishments on Ocean Blvd uses the "pool" valet parking but be sure to remember where you handed your car over as they begin to look the same after a few drinks under the belt.
