There’s plenty of choice when it comes to rental cars in Tampa. From SUVs with space to spare to agile compacts, you’ll find it all here.

From its one-way streets to its high-speed highways, discovering Tampa will be a breeze with a rental car. But before you head for the fast lane, here’s what you need to know about motoring around this city:

In Tampa, motorists stick to the right-hand side. When road-tripping someplace new, it’s always a good idea to choose a car with automatic transmission. That way, you can concentrate on the road ahead and not stress about gear changes.

Being a city on the smaller side, finding a spot for your car in Tampa is a straightforward task. Once you’ve bagged one, read any signs nearby. You may be hit with a fine if you don’t follow the rules and restrictions.

One of the upsides of escaping to a smaller city is lighter traffic, so you won’t need to stress too much about rush-hour gridlock. With a population of around 369,100, you can look forward to a smooth Tampa driving experience.

Generally, one of two things will happen. Your rental car company may bill the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the usual practice. Otherwise, it may provide your contact information to local authorities so the fine is issued straight to you.
