Travelling from the airport to the heart of Tampa is a breeze when hiring a car with Alamo Rent A Car. While many airports are located far from their host city, Tampa International Airport is located less than 10 miles away from the centre. Once you're on the road, drive down the I-275 all the way into the heart of Tampa. Those going straight to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay should drive on the I-275 for around 20 minutes and then turn onto E Busch Boulevard. And if you just can't wait for Disney, drive straight to the magic kingdom in an hour and a half by taking the I-275 and then the I-4, and following signs to Walt Disney World Resort.
If you're organising car rental at Tampa Airport, it's likely that you'll already know you'll be driving on the right-hand side of the road, but it's also worth planning your routes when driving in Florida. When heading from Tampa to major Floridian hotspots, you may come across a few tolls, particularly near Orlando. These are usually between 50c to $2, so make sure you have change on hand. Alternatively, our TollPass service covers everything in advance, meaning you can spend less time rummaging for change and more time on exciting family adventures.
