Pickup near or at Airports
Follow these essential driving tips to stay safe and make the most of your trips during your Clearwater visit.
Clearwater is well-connected with main roads like Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Frontage Road running through town, connecting you to popular destinations like Clearwater Beach and Pier 60, along with neighboring towns like Tampa and St. Petersburg.
- 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 may experience heavier congestion during the peak tourist season, which typically occurs between January and May.
- 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.
There's street parking available in downtown Clearwater, along with parking garages like the Station Square Parking Garage. You can also find lots at shopping precincts like Clearwater Mall.
Parking lots are available along different parts of Clearwater Beach, but they fill up quickly (especially on weekends and during peak season). Try to arrive early for the best chance of finding a spot.
Check parking signage for fees and time restrictions to avoid penalties.
There are no toll roads within Clearwater itself. However, if you plan to venture east towards Tampa or Orlando, you may encounter tolls on highways like the Suncoast Parkway or the Veterans Expressway.
Fueling and charging up in Clearwater is simple:
- Plenty of gas stations are scattered throughout the city, especially along main roads like Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Cleveland Street.
- For EV drivers, there are 140+ charging stations within a 9-mile radius of the city. Most can be found at public parking lots (like Coachman Park), 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.
Renting a car is highly recommended in Clearwater. Public transit options are limited, and rideshares can get pricey or slow — especially if you're here during peak season or going to crowded places like the beach and downtown.
With a Clearwater car rental, you can explore the town at your own pace. You could easily explore the Clearwater Beach area and even venture out further on day trips to Tampa, St. Pete, or even further along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
