Things to do and places to see in Tallahassee, FL

From exploring local wildlife and tree-top adventures to discovering the city’s Civil Rights history, Tallahassee has plenty to offer. While there’s a lot downtown, many attractions are less accessible on foot. With a rental vehicle, you can fit more in and easily make a day trip further out to the Gulf’s beautiful beaches — not to be missed!

Tallahassee Museum

If you’re after a one-stop shop for family fun, fascinating exhibits, and a close-up look at Florida’s wildlife, the Tallahassee Museum is a must-see. Spanning 52 acres, this outdoor destination offers leisurely strolls, the Tree to Tree Adventures zip line, and fourteen historic buildings that provide a glimpse into 19th-century life in Tallahassee.

Tallahassee Civil Rights Memorial

The Civil Rights Memorial is one of several powerful places where you can explore Tallahassee’s role in the Civil Rights Movement. Located in Cascades Historical Plaza, this outdoor tribute honors the stories of local African Americans who stood up against segregation and the key events of that era. For a deeper look, the Grove Museum is just a five-minute drive away.

Lafayette Heritage Trail

Just a 20-minute drive from the Tallahassee airport, the Lafayette Heritage Trail is a go-to for outdoor explorers of all levels. Wander through woodlands, soak up peaceful lakeside views, hop on your bike, or keep an eye out for turtles and other local wildlife. For more of a challenge, drive to the nearby Miccosukee Greenway Trail for hillier terrain.

Planning to explore Tallahassee by car? These handy driving and car rental tips will help you hit the road with ease as soon as you land.


How does airport pickup work at Tallahassee International Airport ? 


To pick up your rental car, simply exit the airport and use the terminal crosswalk to reach the Short-Term Parking Lot. Once there, find your car, locate the lockbox for the keys, and use the code from your Turo app to access them to drive out of the car lot.


How does drop-off work at Tallahassee International Airport ?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. 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. 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.

When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
