Volkswagen Jetta 2024

Car was in pristine condition. It ran extremely well on my many trips to the airport to pick up/drop off guests. Got great gas mileage. Shadae was very responsive and friendly. I liked the convenience of not waiting in line at car rental agencies. Made for a quick arrival and return to the airport. I will definitely rent through TURO again. Price, convenience and quality were all exceptional.

This ride was so much fun! Everywhere you drove people were turning heads to look at this stunning slingshot. The car rental was affordable and better than any of the rental companies I looked into. I will be renting again next time I come back to visit Sarasota!

Top tips for renting a car in Bradenton


Follow these top driving tips for safe and convenient trips during your stay in Bradenton.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Bradenton?


Bradenton is well-connected with main roads like Tamiami Trail and Manatee Avenue running through the heart of town, connecting you to Sarasota, Tampa, and the barrier islands like Anna Maria.


- Speed limits: Always adhere to speed limit signs on the road. If there are none, the speed limit in Florida is generally 30 mph on average in residential and urban areas, and up to 70 mph on interstate highways.


- Peak traffic: Roads can get congested during peak morning and evening traffic (try to avoid these timings if you can). You might experience heavier congestion during peak tourist season traffic between February and April.


- School zones and construction areas: These places often have reduced limits, so keep an eye out for flashing signs, especially during weekday mornings and afternoons.


- Weather advice: While Florida weather is mostly sunny, sudden thunderstorms and tropical storms may occur in the summer and fall. Always slow down in wet conditions, keep a safe following distance, and use headlights during rain or low visibility.


What is parking like in Bradenton?


Street parking is available in downtown Bradenton, along with parking garages like Manatee County Public Parking Garage and shopping precincts like the Red Barn Flea Market.


Popular beach spots like Coquina Beach and Manatee Beach offer free parking, but lots fill up quickly (especially on weekends and during peak season). Try to head in early for the best chance of finding a spot. If you prefer to park once and explore? Hop on the free Anna Maria Island trolley, which loops around the island all day.


Check parking signage for fees and time restrictions to avoid penalties.


Are there toll roads in Bradenton?


There are no toll roads within Bradenton itself. However, if you plan to drive north toward Tampa or Orlando, you may encounter tolls on major expressways, such as the Suncoast Parkway.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Bradenton?


Fueling and charging up in Bradenton is simple:


- Plenty of gas stations are scattered throughout the city, especially along main roads like Cortez Road and Manatee Avenue.


- For EV drivers, there are 70+ charging stations within a 9-mile radius of the city. Most can be found at public parking lots, shopping malls, and parking garages.


Use apps like PlugShare or Google Maps to find the nearest station or charging points and check real-time availability.


Do I need to rent a car in Bradenton?


Renting a car is highly recommended in Bradenton. Public transportation is limited, and rideshare services can be unreliable or expensive, especially in beach areas or during peak tourist season.


With your own rental car, you'll have the flexibility to explore the area at your own time and pace. You can easily spend the day beach hopping across Anna Maria Island, or do longer weekend trips to Sarasota and St. Petersburg without worrying about transport.
