Top tips for renting a car at Tampa Airport

  • Picking up car hire at Tampa Airport will give you access to unlimited options to explore Tampa and beyond, setting your own itinerary and schedule and not having to navigate through crowds of other travellers waiting for public transit and connections. The transport system in the city is good, and there are options to get outside of the city on transit as well, though having your own rental car saves you from being limited to the transit routes and schedules.
  • UK citizens can drive in the US for up to three months with their UK license, without needing an International Driving Permit or having to transfer to a US license. If you are planning travels in the US for longer than three months, then you will either need to arrange an International Driving Permit or potentially apply for a US license instead. As long as your license and other documents meet the requirements of the company you are using for car hire at Tampa Airport, an International Driving Permit is not needed to be added to your travel preparation list.
  • Returning your car hire at Tampa Airport may vary in process between companies, but for most providers at this airport you will use a designated rental return area, which is directly outside of the rental car building, and there are signs to direct you to this area when you are driving into the airport. When you first pick up your Tampa Airport car hire, the member of staff assisting you will give you all of the details and directions to bring your rental car back at the end of your journey.
  • Tampa Airport is consistently busy, serving Tampa and its surrounds and a large volume of travellers daily. Regardless of the day of the week you are traveling through this airport, you will be joined by plenty of other travellers, and likely some also picking up or returning car hire at Tampa Airport. The airport and its rental providers are well equipped for the volume of clientele, so though it is busy you will find the process with your car rental simple.
  • Book your rental car at Tampa Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Tampa Airport

  • Where are the rental offices located at Tampa Airport?

    The Rental Car Centre at Tampa Airport can be reached by travelling via SkyConnect train from the Main Terminal of the airport. The building is just down the road from the airport itself, and most of the companies offering car hire at Tampa Airport will have their office here. There are some exceptions, as some companies have offices elsewhere and instead offer a shuttle service from the main entrance of Tampa Airport.

  • What documentation do I need to bring to rent a car at Tampa Airport?

    You will need to provide your driver's license, and it must be a full, valid license. Learner or provisional licenses will not be accepted. For most Tampa Airport car hire, the minimum age requirement is 21, though this can vary between companies. You will also need your passport as a second form of identification, as well as your credit card for the deposit and full fees for your rental car booking.

  • What kind of car is a good option to rent from Tampa Airport?

    There is a wide range of choices for car hire at Tampa Airport, so personal preference can certainly be covered, as well as the needs for your plans and travel party. If you are sticking to the cities and main routes, any vehicle that fits the people traveling with you is fine, as long as it fits all your luggage as well. If your plans include more sights off the main routes such as National Parks, or particularly long drives, an SUV may be a good idea for the extra space and comfort.

I thought our rental deal was too good to be true. We booked through Kayak, But we were pleasantly surprised with the Tampa airport location. The staff were friendly and didn’t push any extras on us. The rental car was clean (Nissian Versa) the staff friendly & courteous. I would 100 % recommend them if you need a rental car in the Tampa area. Just a side note. I also look the car over before taking it off the lot, I also video the entire car inside and out for damage. And take pictures, it does take a few extra minutes but gives me piece of mind.

When I arrived, I was told that they were out of cars. This was a lie. I waited 30 minutes to get a car while hurricane Ian was bearing down on Florida. The airport closed 3 hours after I left. When I picked up may car I saw at least 50 Sixt cars available. They flat out lied during a hurricane crisis. They had plenty of cars, just none that they would rent to me. I had a full size but they had plenty of SUVs and luxury brands sitting idle. I find this disgusting and would never rent from Sixt or recommend to anyone.

I didn't appreciate the "nickle and diming"; the final price was almost 3 times what was advertised with all the added fees and taxes etc. They should be far more transparent with the final cost to the customer. Staff are upselling to the benefit of the business and not necessarily that of the customer. I was offered a transponder but after closer inspection it would have been cheaper for me to pay for the tolls. This was very disappointing; I recommend better training and customer sensitivity workshops.

The pickup experience was horrendous, took almost 2.5 hours. The initial check-in line was extremely long. Once check-in was completed and instructed to go to lower floor to pickup car, you had to find an employee to put your name on a waitlist. The system was chaotic and unorganized. The entire process took 2.5 hours, I was late to meet friends for lunch and delayed my entire schedule. I was only in town for a night and required me to make alternate arrangements. Lastly, I was billed incorrectly and charged for refueling, even though I returned it at the same level I took the car.

My experience with the TAMPA AIRPORT DOLLAR RENTAL HAS BEEN UTTERLY DISGUSTING. They put me and my mother in a 2018 Nissan Rogue when here we are a few weeks shy of 2024. When you turned the wheel it made a horrible sound, the charging ports didn't work, the trunk didn't open and when you were at a stop light or idling it would shake and sputter. So I decided to drive 45 minutes back to the airport to get something better. Upon doing so they seemed to be annoyed with me. So after feeling that way I didn't want to complain when the car they exchanged with REEKED LIKE CIGARETTES. Me and my mother decided to just go buy some air fresheners and deal with it. We never mentioned the smell and now I 100% regret it. A few days after returning from Vacation I check my credit card and notice they charged me $400 dollars. I call customer service and am told I was charged that for a "cleaning fee for smoking in the vehicle" so I am now in the process of trying to dispute this charge. I have asked several times to see the notes from the previous person that rented the car to see if it was noted about it smelling like smoke and was told they aren't allowed to give me that information. DISGUSTING SCAMMING COMPANY.

Had the choice of picking which vehicle I would like to drive. The Nissan Rogue that I was given had 54,000 plus miles and shook when driven above 60 miles per hour. It had a number of door dings which concerned me before I drove off the lot. The attendant was helpful in reassuring me that none of the blemishes identified would register as damage that I caused when returned.

I would rent from Fox again but I’d be way more likely to rent from Fox if there was a way to use their car for toll roads on only the days when you’re planning to use it on those roads instead of paying for toll usage for the entire duration of the trip. Having to pay for the entire duration even though I only wanted to use tolls for one day meant that the cost was much higher and the value not really that great.

I liked how easy it was to pick up my vehicle and drop it off, including my ability to extend my rental period. However, the vehicle came with tinted windows that were darker than legally allowed in the state of Florida, and so I was operating a vehicle that I could have been ticketed for driving. Also, the vehicle was not fully cleaned inside, and I was able to determine that this vehicle had been in an accident previously, because the hood did not properly line up with the fenders, and I could tell the hood and front end had been repainted.

If you rent from this company have your insurance info with you and I mean the page that shows you have collision coverage because your insurance card is not going to work for them when they try to sell you there insurance.

Pros:

Friendly staff. Service easy to use.

Cons:

Would be nice if Enterprise shifted some vehicles from larger airports (TPA) to smaller ones (PIE) to account for increased traffic, especially considering it was spring break. I had to take an Uber between from PIE to TPA to get a car. Cars were sold out at PIE for 5-6 weeks before spring break, so Enterprise had plenty of time to address the logistical imbalance. This applies to all rental agencies, not just Enterprise/Alamo/National. Jeep Compass is a terrible vehicle overall. Our rental was a Limited so it had bells and whistles, but it's like putting glipstick on a pig; vehicle was unrefined, very loud road noise, weak engine, very little cargo space, seemed more like a subcompact than a compact SUV. Almost no useable storage space aside from small center console (a tiny pocket below console would hold key fob but not large enough for a cell phone), since most space was taken up by comically oversized bezels around LCD screen and controls. Volume and tuning knobs are too far from both the LCD screen and the driver, should be smaller and closer to screen. Terrible gas mileage for a modern compact SUV, especially considering the Compass is equipped with 'auto engine off' to conserve gas at stop lights. Small fuel tank for a vehicle with such poor mileage, which also means more stops to refuel than should be necessary. 'Advanced' features were crude and poorly implemented. Lane keep assist pinballed between left and right lane lines instead of keeping vehicle centered. Auto cruise control would apply brakes hard then accelerate hard to compensate. Android Auto support was buggy and would sometimes not work. Did like auto windshield wipers, and liked that one fog light would turn on to provide extra lighting when turning a corner.

I would have liked more accurate price quoting. Price was listed as $240 for a "special class car." I was offered the lowest level compact they had. On top of that, I was informed the actual price for rental would be THREE TIMES as much as I had already paid. When I inquire about canceling my reservation, the clerk said that would be okay, but they would not refund the $240 I had already paid. Poor customer service, feeling scammed by hidden fees and forced into paying them to avoid losing my money. Will never rent here again, would not recommend this company to anyone.

Horrible - do not book with NextCar. They denied my car insurance because I was not the primary policyholder. I have full coverage insurance, so there was no logistical reason to deny it. The supplemental insurance cost as much as the rental itself. I was never told at the time of booking that I would be forced to use their insurance if I wasn’t the primary policyholder. I was only told so 24 hours out from my booking. I’m actively trying to get a refund for this.

I tried 4 different cars because each car had an issue. Two cars reeked of smoke, one had a smashed in back fender, and the last had sand and trash all over the floor board including 11 used water and soda bottles strewn around the interior of the car. The Avis agents were accommodating in switching cars but it was a terrible experience having to walk back and forth to the counter and car each time. It took over an hour to finally get into a car. They also didn’t escalate to a manager until I asked for one when we pulled the car up to show them all of the trash. The manager was very friendly and helpful. He apologized for the trouble. The return was challenging as well. The signage was poorly done. I parked in one of the designated return spots and followed signs up 8 flights of stairs to the rooftop to find that I had been misdirected. I walked back downstairs and ultimately found the return desk on the ground floor. The agent asked me where I parked and told me I had to move the car the rooftop. I told her the signs directed me to park in the designated spots side the garage which were clearly marked as Avis return spots but she insisted I move and that the car was now late. She said the signs were wrong and need to be removed. When I expressed displeasure with the poor signage and waste of time the agent told me I could call customer service. I had to go back upstairs and drive the car all the way to the top of the garage. The process was inefficient and frustrating.

Agent at airport counter was hard to understand and seemed like she could care less. Disagreed with me when i said we had rented a midsize SUV and replied there is no such thing. Had my printed confirmation and she would not even look at it and said "compact is your reservation". We also said no to a prefill but found out later at another Avis we had prefill. WE told her no and when the questions popped up she repeatedly said just press agree it doesn't mean you will be charged. The SUV had 82,000 miles on it and after 3 days we experienced the battery not wanting to start. Very slow to turn over. We called the AVIS is Bradenton and they were very courteous and nice and we took the car in for an exchange, They actually were the ones that said we did have prefill.

Flight was late. They cxld my non refundable car. They countered with car over twice what I had originally scheduled. I will be giving reviews on every platform I can. I also will be sending letter to the Florida AG. My wife is a flight attendant and we travel quite a bit. We have used kayak numerous times in the past but we are extremely disappointed that kayak is associated with a company like Mex!

When I went to pickup my car, I had to wait ~1 hour to speak with someone at the desk. The agent I spoke to at the desk lied to me and said that I cannot use my personal auto insurance and had to use their plan. I call their corporate number later and the confirmed that agent was incorrect and refunded my money spent on the insurance. The car they had reserved for me was stuck behind several cars on the lot and inaccessible. Because of this they tried to give me another vehicle in the same class. The replacement they picked had visible damage/dent to the multiple panels, doors, and bumper. I started documenting all the damage in detail and taking pictures, the agent started getting visibly annoyed. He ended up providing me with a different car in the end. When I came time to drop off the vehicle, the lot nearly full and there was a line extending into the street just to enter the lot. I'm still waiting to deposit to be returned and I anticipating that I will need to call their corporate office again. This was an extremely poor experience through and through. I will never rent from Mexrentacar ever again, and I will never recommend their services to anyone.

The car was fine. There was a requirement to have proof of insurance. Not just the declaration page as stated on the walls in the office but the whole policy. This was not clear in the initial rental agreement. Also there were many unclear additional fees.

The vehicle was perfectly fine. Everything other than that and the shuttle driver was terrible. Not able to reach the property. Number listed is in Miami. $2500 deposit hold for 3 weeks despite full coverage insurance is unheard of. Facility is inadequate, seats are in disrepair. Agent is unfriendly. I would highly recommend dropping this company from your vendor list. While my experience panned out, two of the three other groups in their office woth us that morning, were not able to rent for whatever reason. Both were very upset.
