Driving in Tampa

The Open Road

Driving in Tampa may be slightly different to what you're used to. They drive on the right side of the road and the steering wheel is on the left side of the car — just the opposite of the UK. Road signs are in miles and speed limits vary and are stated in miles per hour (MPH), not kilometers. Typically, in residential areas, the limit is around 30 MPH. On highways, it averages between 55 and 70 MPH. Stick to the marked speed limits to avoid attracting any unwanted attention from local law enforcement officers.

Parking and Tolls

When it comes to on-street parking, read the signs for time restrictions and payments. Free parking is also available in some areas after specified times. Take note of numerous toll roads around and within the city as well. It’s best to request a toll pass from your car rental agency to avoid any surprise fees.

Attractions Worth Visiting

Beaches

With your own set of wheels, head to some of Florida’s best beaches. Clearwater Beach is just a 30-minute drive from Tampa and offers white sandy beaches and pristine waters. If you're up for a bit more drive, Siesta Key in Sarasota and Anna Maria Island Beach are also worth a visit.

City's Rich Culture

Don't miss out on visiting Ybor City, a Historic Landmark District that brings Tampa's rich history to life. Pay a visit to the Tampa Bay History Centre or the Ybor City State Museum to further delve into the city’s fascinating past.

Know Before You Go: Practical Tips

Climate

Having a subtropical climate, Tampa receives ample sun and warmth all year round. Make sure your rental car has good air-conditioning, especially during the summer months of June through September.
