KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Brandon

  • There are unique places around Brandon that you have to visit. For example, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World Florida are famous attractions in Orlando, which is only 90min away from Brandon. Then there are other attractions in the Tampa area, such as the Florida Aquarium and Florida International Museum. There's plenty to do in Brandon, such as spending time at the Westfield Brandon shopping mall. The best way to enjoy your exploration is by using a car rental in Brandon. It guarantees flexibility.
  • Child restraint laws in Brandon are specific and vary depending on the child's age, weight, and height, as well as the type of vehicle you are using. For example, children under the age of 1 should be placed in a rear-facing kid seat, and children between the ages of 1 and 3 should remain in a rear-facing kid's seat until they reach the weight set or height limit allowed by the car seat manufacturer. Children aged 4 to 5 should be placed in a forward-facing seat with a harness, and children aged 6 and 7 should use a booster seat until they reach the proper height and weight requirements to use a seatbelt.
  • Tampa International Airport is the closest airport to Brandon City. There are several rental car companies at the airport, such as Avis, Budget, and Alamo. Travelers looking for car rentals in Brandon can access TPA's car rental facility by taking the SkyConnect train. SkyConnect arrives at each station every two minutes and connects the main terminal, economy garage, and rental car center.
  • There are toll roads that cheap car rentals in Brandon renters should be aware of in order to know what is needed to prepare ahead. One of the main toll roads is the Selmon Expressway, which is an all-electronic, limited-access toll road that spans from Tampa to Brandon. The roadway connects to other major highways such as the Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway and I-4. Another toll road in the area is the Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway. This roadway spans across Tampa Bay and connects South Tampa to Brandon. The Crosstown Expressway is approximately 10 miles long and features several interchange ramps to other major highways such as I-75, I-4, and the Selmon Expressway.
  • To ensure a safe and smooth driving experience in Brandon car rentals, it's important to keep in mind that some roadways require extra caution. By slowing down, keeping your eyes peeled, and driving defensively, you can safely navigate these routes and avoid accidents. For instance, Causeway Boulevard has several curves and blind spots, which can be tricky to navigate, especially during wet or slippery conditions. It is also known for frequent accidents, so drivers should be extra cautious while driving on this road.
  • During some times of the year, like February, weather conditions in Brandon may not be very conducive for drivers. You might witness a bit of smoke and fog, which can threaten visibility. It would be best if you were careful when driving in such conditions. On the other hand, summers in Brandon experience sudden rainstorms due to the interaction of sunshine and humidity. So whether it's during the cold months or summer, drive slow and safe.
  • The Tampa Area, which includes Brandon, is ranked as the 11th most congested place in the U.S. The city witnesses a lot of traffic. For example, 53% of commuters are mired in gridlock during the afternoon rush hour. Mornings are no different as 34% of commuters sit in traffic. Additionally, navigating through Brandon can be hectic for a first-timer. Installing a navigation system in your Brandon car rental is the best way to ensure you have a great trip. A GPS is beneficial if you travel off-road to some of the attractions.
  • Book your car hire in Brandon at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Brandon are around 122% more expensive than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Brandon?

    The car rental you choose in Brandon depends on your individual needs. An SUV is a good option for a family because it provides space and comfort. Some attractions in Brandon and the greater Tampa area are off-road, such as the Apalachicola National Forest and Withlacoochee State Forest. To access these places, you need a four-wheel drive which is ideal for such terrain. If you are traveling with a friend, a sedan will do.

  • Are there restricted roads in Brandon?

    Yes. There are restricted roads in the area, such as the reversible express lanes on I-275 between Tampa and St. Petersburg. These lanes are restricted to certain vehicles during specific hours of the day.

  • What is the speed limit in Brandon?

    Car rentals in Brandon are expected to abide by the speed limits in the city. Brandon is within Tampa's neighborhood, where the speed range lies between 20 mph and 60 mph. In residential areas, the speed limit is 25 mph unless a road sign says different. The speed limit in some places like Aberdeen Avenue and 26th Street, part of Durum Drive, is 40 mph, while in other areas, like the school division, the limit is 30 mph.

  • What is the age requirement to rent a car in Brandon?

    While renting cheap car rentals in Brandon, most rental car companies require you to provide proof that you are at least 21 years old. Some may require the renter to be over 25 years old. Renters who are under 25 years old may have to pay an additional fee.

  • Where is the best place to park in Brandon?

    One concern for people with car rentals in Brandon is the availability of parking spots. The city permits on-street parking but only a limited number of parking spaces. Due to the limited space, on-street parking is allowed for a maximum of two hours. The standard parking rate in Brandon is around $4, but parking is free on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Brandon has other parking guidelines. You must park your car rental 10 feet away from a fire hydrant because emergency vehicles and personnel need immediate access to them. Park your car 10 feet away from an entrance to a lane or driveway and 30 feet away from an intersection.

I used a dealership far from the airport because they had a convertible available, which I had confirmed as reserved. I paid extra to Uber to the rental office after my flight landed, only to discover that they rented my car to someone else. I will never use this office again.

Everyone was nice and friendly.

Cons:

The problem was kayak. I needed to pick up A car at Tampa international airport. My search was Tampa international airport drop off Fort Myers Airport and of course I look for the best price like anyone else. To find out it was off the airport a few miles I ended up paying extra because kayak is being very devious should be against the law. I will never use kayak again for flights cars or hotels apparently this has been a problem. Bye-bye Kayak

The car was filthy/dirty. The line was big to get the keys so I didn't want to go back and wait another 40mins to tell them to exchange the car. Bare minimum a rental car should be ran through a car wash and vacuumed before giving it to the next renter. Also, I rented a Passat like car and got a minivan which is away bigger than I needed and consumes more gas. Not a good experience.

Nice, friendly employees. Car was not washed and ready to go. Needed to wait more than 30 minutes for the car. When the car was delivered to me, it was still dirty on the outside. Inside was very clean.

Traveled to stated rental address and it was abandoned. Traveled to another Budget location and it was abandoned as well. Called Budget 800 number who said their website was not updated and to travel to Tampa Airport - 1 hour away. I said I am done and disgusted with Budget and to cancel my reservation. The Budget Operator said they cannot cancel on this line but for me to call another 800 number - NO THANKS - I'M DONE WITH BUDGET>
