Tips for renting a car in Tampa Airport
Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Tampa Airport including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 14 August 2025.
- Tampa's climate is generally mild, but it can be subject to heavy rain, especially during the summer and hurricane season. When driving in heavy rain, reduce your speed, use your headlights, and increase your following distance to ensure safety. The roads can become slippery, and visibility may decrease during downpours. Also, be mindful of the possibility of flooding in low-lying areas after heavy rains. Avoid driving through flooded streets, as this can damage your vehicle and be hazardous.
- Tampa's traffic intensifies during rush hours and near major attractions like Busch Gardens and the Tampa Riverwalk. Additionally, events such as the Gasparilla Pirate Festival and sporting matches at Raymond James Stadium significantly contribute to traffic congestion. . Be prepared for delays and plan your routes accordingly. The city has a mix of highways and urban streets, with Interstate 275 and the Veterans Expressway being major routes that often get congested. When driving in the downtown area, be aware of one-way streets and pedestrian crossings. Tampa also has a growing number of bike lanes, so watch out for cyclists. Using a GPS navigation system can be very helpful in navigating through the city efficiently.
- Familiarize yourself with local traffic laws and customs. In Tampa, like the rest of Florida, it's important to know that you must stop for school buses when their stop signs are extended, and/or when lights are flashing. Also, be aware of Florida's 'Move Over' law, which requires drivers to move over a lane for stopped coming law enforcement, emergency, all service vehicles, and trucks that are towing or slow down if a lane change is not safe. When driving near Tampa's beaches, be cautious of pedestrians and adhere to local parking regulations to avoid fines. Tampa doesn't have many toll roads, but the Selmon Expressway is a toll route, so be prepared with either cash or a SunPass if you plan to use it.
