Driving Tips for Tampa

Check out a few driving tips for when you rent a car in Tampa:

  • Navigate the interstates wisely: Tampa’s major interstates, I-4, I-75 and I-275, are key routes for getting around. Be aware that I-4 often experiences heavy traffic, especially during rush hours.
  • Watch for school zones: Tampa has many schools, and school zones are strictly regulated with reduced speed limits during morning and afternoon hours. Pay close attention to flashing lights and posted signs indicating school zones.
  • Be prepared for sudden weather changes: Tampa is prone to sudden thunderstorms, especially in the summer. Heavy rain can reduce visibility and cause flooding on some streets.
  • Use the Selmon Expressway: The Selmon Expressway (SR 618) is a convenient toll road that can help bypass city traffic. It has a reversible express lane to accommodate peak traffic flows, reducing travel time during rush hours.
  • Park smart in Downtown Tampa: Downtown Tampa offers various parking options, including metered street parking, garages and lots. Garages like Fort Brooke and Poe Garage offer ample space and are centrally located.
