Polaris Slingshot 2022

I’m one to rent slingshots every time I come to Florida and I’ll tell you what, this was hands down the best rental I ever gotten . The host was responsive. Very very fair on price. And not a single issue with the slingshot. Definitely recommend renting off this guy !

Great car, the best service I’ve ever received with the host delivering the car to my home and picking it up from me at the dealership where my car was being serviced. The ease of changing the pickup address and extending the rental was simple. No words can describe the hospitality of the host! She was so sweet and understanding of my needs! Had I known this service was available, I would have never rented from a bigger company. I felt like royalty with her! She will forever be my go to person for a car and I wish her nothing but success and happiness!

Victor was very responsive and nice, the entire trip. When an oil change was needed, because I extended the trip during that time, he not only extended the trip anyway but made sure the car was taken care of. Car is good for the price and easy pick up and drop off. Will be renting again as he has many cars to choose from.

Take Thrilling Rides at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

While Busch Gardens is technically in the Tampa area, it's just 18 miles away. This lovely 335-acre animal theme park is packed with exhilarating thrill rides, like the Iron Gwazi, Cobra's Curse, and Falcon's Fury. Beyond the rides, you'll also find entertaining shows and charming shops. And when you're ready to eat, Busch Gardens has a nice range of restaurants, like the Zambia Smokehouse or the TreeTop Kitchen. Prefer to skip the rides? Visit the theme park's zoo, stroll through the lush aviary, and enjoy hands-on fun at the petting zoo instead.

Soak up the Sun on Clearwater Beach

No trip to Florida is complete without a day or two soaking up the sun on a nearby beach. If you're itching to leave the city and get out of your sterile office, pack a bag and head to a white sand beach with turquoise waters, like Clearwater Beach, just 48 minutes outside of Brandon. You're also steps away from seaside restaurants, so just park your car for the day, and while away the hours here.

Spend a Day Shopping at the Westfield Brandon Mall

Located between the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway and State Road 60, the Westfield Brandon Mall is a beautifully designed shopping haven. It's the perfect destination if you'd like to spend the day shopping leisurely. Take the family to the Lego store or let the kids ride on the giant carousel, which sits in the center of the mall. For a quieter pace, cozy up in the mall's library with a good book. The mall is a delightful place to spend a lazy Sunday.

Top tips for renting a car in Brandon


Renting a car in Brandon, FL, is pretty straightforward. However, here are some important tips that can make your car rental a breeze.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Brandon?


Driving in Brandon, FL, is relatively simple as the roads are well-maintained. Traffic can get heavy during weekday rush hours, though, especially near popular spots like the malls. During the summer, you can expect hot, humid weather with sudden thunderstorms. This can make visibility poor and cause slick roads. Driving in winter usually isn't an issue, though morning fog can sometimes cause poor visibility.


Keep in mind that Florida abides by the Move Over Law, which mandates that cars pull over for passing emergency vehicles, such as fire trucks and police cars. Visitors and residents must also follow posted signs, such as wearing seat belts and no texting while driving.


What is parking like in Brandon?


Finding a place to park your rental car in Brandon is typically easy, since many places like the Westfield Brandon shopping mall offer free parking. If you're parking your vehicle in a residential neighborhood, check the parking signs before leaving your car, and if you plan to attend an event in or near Brandon, check the venue's website for parking information.


Are there toll roads in Brandon?


Yes, there are toll roads in Brandon. The Tampa Brandon Lee Roy Selmon Expressway (SR618) that connects Tampa to Brandon is a toll road. If you're a renter, you may not have an E-ZPass or SunPass, but you can still pay using the Toll-by-Plate method instead. The Suncoast Parkway and the Veterans Expressway are also toll roads. If you'd like to save money, taking residential streets for shorter distances is a good alternative.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Brandon?


Although Brandon is considered a small town, there are still plenty of places to fill up your tank or charge your car. Look for gas stations along Brandon Boulevard, such as Shell and Chevron. If you have an electric rental car, you can find Tesla Superchargers at the Westfield Brandon mall and several Blink Charging Stations at various locations, such as on S. Kings Ave and at Brandon Town Center.


Do I need to rent a car in Brandon?


Although public transportation is available in the Tampa Brandon area for places like the Westfield Brandon mall or Busch Gardens, renting a car is far more convenient. Renting a car on Turo, for example, offers you convenience and flexibility. Plus, you get to choose the type of rental vehicle you'd like to have - whether it's a spacious SUV for your family or a sleek sports car. A rental car also gives you the freedom to escape the city and head to the beach or a theme park.

All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
