Tampa - Road Trip Ideas

For the best road trip around, pick up a Tampa Bay car rental. From here, you can tear up the open road, taking in the very best Floridian sights and sounds. Hop on board for a Tampa to Nashville road trip and you can tick Georgia and Tennessee off your list. Steam from the Big Guava to Music City in a little under ten hours, or find all the adventure you need, in state. Florida road trips from city to city serve up everything you could possibly want from a wander behind the wheel—and plenty more!

Tampa to Orlando

No one tires of Tampa. Its beautiful gardens, humongous zoo, and abundant amusements make sure of that. But if you want to hang with Mickey and friends, only one place in the Sunshine State will do. Clutch the keys in a car rental from Tampa to Orlando and feast your eyes on the very best Floridian sights. Stop off in Lakeland for out-of-this-world architecture or make light of the 1-hour Tampa to Disney World® drive time. There is much more than Disney out here, too. Wow your way around Universal Studios or eat your way across ICON Park’s 40 restaurants. For an even faster foray across Florida, book a one-way car rental from Tampa to Orlando, drop your ride at the airport and fly back in 40 minutes.

Tampa to Miami

Cruise from coast to coast in a car rental from Tampa to Miami. The distance between Tampa, FL, and Miami, FL is a little over 280 miles, but ducking into Fort Myers is a must. And take the time to stop in the Everglades and you’ll feel like you’ve traveled to a new world—where it’s all aboard the airboat to croc county! Once you reach the big city, take the Miami trolley on a stupendous street-art tour, head bayside for sensational sky views, or escape it all beneath the swaying palms of Lummus Park. If you book a one-way car rental from Tampa to Miami, you can fly back in just over an hour.
