Driving Tips for Tampa

Your adventure begins as soon as you get behind the wheel of your rental car in Tampa. Keep the following tips for driving in Florida in mind when you rent a car in Tampa for a relaxing experience:

  • Roundabouts: Most roundabouts in Florida don’t require stopping, so there will be a continuous flow of traffic at a low speed. Be prepared to join the flow.
  • Rush Hour: In the Tampa Bay area you might find traffic. Try to avoid Hillsborough Ave and parts of I-275 in the early morning and mid to late afternoon.
  • Toll Roads: The main toll road in this area is the Crosstown Expressway, but it has no toll booths and only accepts the SunPass. Ask about our prepaid toll program and find out which roads have tolls on our dedicated toll page.
  • Inclement weather: Always keep an eye on the weather reports, as Tampa can experience heavy rain and sometimes flooding. The area can occasionally be subject to tornadoes or hurricanes.

Best places to visit in and around Tampa

When you rent a car in Tampa, you have access to everything the city itself and the bay area at large have to offer. Here are some things to do in Tampa:

  • Hit the Beach: The Tampa Bay area is home to plenty of beaches along the southern coast, including Archibald Beach Park, Dave Islands Beach, and Ben T Davis Beach. If you want to go further, check out Clearwater Beach. In Clearwater, you'll find plenty of metered parking spaces near the beach.
  • Tampa Riverwalk: This riverfront area stretches along the Hillsborough River and offers incredible views of the city. Lined with restaurants, cafes, and event spaces, it’s the perfect place to have a nighttime walk. You can find several parking garages within just a few blocks of the Riverwalk.
  • Day Trip to Orlando: Orlando, the home of all things Disney, is located just a 90-minute drive away, so it’ll be a breeze to reach when you rent a car in Tampa.
