I rent from Turo every month for about 2 years now. And this was the best experience I’ve had so far. Communication was awesome. It was my kids 6th birthday and she loved when we surprised her with the truck. Host was cool and answered any and all questions I had. I would definitely be coming back 🙏 RENT THIS TRUCK lol you won’t regret it.

First Time Turo Users Here!! We have always used a rental car from an agency in the past. Whether its Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, etc, they were all we knew! My father-in-law moved in with us recently so now we have a larger vehicle and if you don't know, larger vehicle means more expensive rental! A friend recommended I try Turo out and boy am I glad I did! I found an excellent deal with a killer vehicle! Philip and Jasmine were so awesome! Super thorough and helpful with explaining the process and answering any questions we had! The truck was super clean and detailed for us upon arrival at the airport, which made things instantly feel comfortable! No annoying check out/in process at the rental counter and hoping you get a car that isn't messed up in some way! With such a large and comfortable ride, it made things much easier on us while driving to Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, and the many great restaurants along the beach! The drop off process was even easier than the pick up! Thanks Philip and Jasmine! You guys helped make this veteran's first family vacation in 17 years, one to remember!

I love the vehicle, however just know it has old features. Also the trunk gave me problems. I don’t think the host helps me in the best way but I did figure it out from help of a friend and google. It’s on my favorite list so I would be interested in getting it again. Going in with information from experience.

Top tips for renting a truck in Tampa


Whether you've driven a truck before or it's your first time stepping behind the wheel of a larger vehicle, we've got the top tips to get you road-ready.


Tips for driving a truck in Tampa


Plan ahead for traffic: Corridors like I-275, I-75, and the toll-based Veterans Expressway can get busy during certain times, so allow extra time during rush hours and be prepared for electronic toll payments.


Size up before setting off: Be sure to adjust mirrors, watch blind spots, and rely on cameras or sensors when parking, as a larger vehicle can take time to get used to.


Local tip: If you’re headed to Bayshore Boulevard, keep to the outer lanes and use pull-through parking spots near parks to avoid tight turns and crowded areas.


What is parking a truck like in Tampa?


Open-air lots and surface parking around Tampa are generally the best option for trucks, especially near beaches, parks, and residential areas. Downtown garages can be tight, so it’s easier to look for street parking on wider roads or lots near Bayshore Boulevard, Ybor City, and Channelside. Many hotels and shopping centers offer surface parking with more space; just be mindful of clearance!


How to choose the right type of truck for your Tampa trip


Choosing the right truck in Tampa comes down to the job at hand. Smaller pickup trucks are handy for beach days, bike runs, and weekend projects as they're easier to drive.


If you're relocating, a moving truck with more cargo room can elevate the entire experience. Perfect for furniture, appliances, and boxed-up homes, it helps you avoid multiple trips and keeps longer drives and moving days running smoothly.


Longer rental periods can also save you money; if you expect your trip to take a few weeks or months, keep an eye out for long-term truck rental options and cut down the amount you pay for your Tampa rental experience.


Loading a truck


Loading heavy items first is a smart move. This tactic keeps your center of gravity low, limiting movement on tight streets and long highways, helping you navigate with greater ease. Ensure everything is strapped down, too, to keep your items stable and supported from start to finish.


Gas stations and EV chargers in Tampa


Fueling up is simple with plenty of gas stations along major Tampa US highways like I-275, I-75, and the Veterans Expressway, many of which offer diesel pumps and truck-friendly stops with wider lanes and pull-through access. EV chargers are also common in downtown lots, shopping centers, and public garages, making it easy to keep all types of vehicles powered up while on the go.

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?

Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver’s licenses issued outside of the US.

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?

When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

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. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. 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.

How much does it cost to rent a truck in Tampa? 

The cost of truck rental in Tampa can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap or better for the budget truck rentals in Tampa, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

What rental truck types are there in Tampa?

From downtown Tampa to the suburbs and beyond, Tampa offers rental trucks on Turo for every need and style. Choose from a Ford F‑150 pickup for gear and outdoor hauls, a cargo van like the Ford Transit for moving boxes and supplies, or a trusted box truck for furniture and larger moves.

* 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.
