Top Tips for Renting a Van in St. Petersburg
- Whether planning a long weekend getaway or summer vacation in St. Petersburg, van rentals are ideal if you are carting with your friends, family, or colleagues. Additionally, the van rental allows you to discover all St. Petersburg offers without worrying about fixed bus or train times. A trip to St. Petersburg would not be complete without a stop at its famed attractions like Salvador Dali Museum, Fort De Soto Beach, and the Morean Arts Center. Those looking to surf at St. Petersburg beaches will find the extra room in van rentals helpful in carrying their equipment.
- If you want to access St. Petersburg, you will be flying into St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE). The airline hub is roughly 6 miles north of St. Petersburg, and your van rental will get you to the city center in less than 20 minutes. Car rental kiosks are at the heart of the airport, close to the baggage claim area, on the lower level. Once you have retrieved your luggage, head to the kiosks to book your van rental. Ensure that your credentials are in order to simplify your rental process. Your St. Petersburg van rental will be waiting outside baggage claim.
- Acquaint yourself with some of St. Petersburg’s traffic rules to keep yourself as secure as possible while maneuvering the city in your St. Petersburg van rental. Be sure to proceed slowly when approaching intersections at major thoroughfares like 38th Avenue N, US-19, 5th Avenue N, 3rd Street N, and Central Avenue. There are multiple toll thoroughfares in Florida, so carry spare cash. The state’s Move Over Law requires you to utilize the left lane when an emergency automobile is at the roadside.
- With no shortage of tourists and local drivers clogging the roads, traffic congestion in St. Petersburg is inevitable. Traffic congestion in the morning lasts from 7:30 am to 9:30 am. Peak congestion time in the evening lasts between 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm. Steer clear of driving at major thoroughfares like Hillsborough Avenue, Veterans Expressway, and I-275, or on national holidays. You may also plan your trips around midmorning to afternoon to avoid the rush.

Cons:
Reserved for convertible- was told none was available. This is I spite of reserving it several months in advance. No attempt to try to find another vehicle in surrounding areas. Asked to call central reservation number for budget - they were no help at all. Did not even offer to reduce rates as promised vehicle was not available. Very poor service.6.0 Okay

Pros:
Got the keys right away, was able to drop the car off after hours.Cons:
After getting the keys, was told to remove the sunpass from windshield since I had my own and didn’t want the additional charges. I couldn’t remove it- no one was around to help. I saw a man that worked there and asked for help, then yelled for help but he ignored me and kept walking. Also, if you leave your vehicle there you have to park it across the street.... so walking across 6 lanes of fast moving traffic is a little unsettling.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Staff was friendly but unhelpful when I needed to return the rental after an hour when we realized the mattress we were trying to donate would not fit safely into the truck bed. They would not refund the purchase although fuel unchanged and plenty of inventory on lot indicating we were not tying up any vehicles. Very disappointing.Cons:

Accept a cancellation by phone and via online and refund charged fees to the customer in a timely fashion.2.0 Poor
Apr. 2021
Pros:
Pickup experience was a nightmare and I was placed into a dirty car.Cons:
Speed at checkout. They should have cleaned the car... esp during Covid. They should have placed me into a different car if they didn’t have time to clean the car they put me into. I also could not get ahold of customer service for the life of me. Awful experience.2.0 Poor
Apr. 2021
Pros:
Drop off at SFB was easy. We had to change our drop-off location mid-trip and this was easy to do over the phone using the “rental extension” phone number on our initial receipt.Cons:
Was traveling with an IL driver’s license that had its expiration date extended 6 months by the state of IL due to Covid-19. No issues with TSA in 3 different airports. No issues anywhere except Hertz in St. Petersburg where the store manager would not allow me to pick up the car. In the state of FL, Hertz does not have good options for dealing with toll roads. You can either pay an exorbitant amount of money up-front (for our rental period something like $70, way more than the amount we would pay in tolls), or you can get charged afterwards for the tolls you use + a $10 administrative fee for each. There are several toll roads where you can only “pay by plate” or transponder and there is no option for paying with cash, so if you don’t know the area and your navigation takes you on one of these roads, Hertz has you over a barrel.2.0 Poor

Pros:
The Hertz rental at that location no longer exists. I took an Uber to and from the location from my home, $18. I waited outside on hold for over 20 minutes while an agent tried to find another location with a car. No such luck. My Christmas plans were ruined.Cons:

Car rental was not at airport, was offsite at an old hotel which was very strange. Shuttle was broken down upon arrival and not running for our departure. We had to take an Uber to the airport which was very inconvenient because we were traveling with a car seat and a small child. This location should not be included as an airport location.10.0 Wonderful

We were a group of six getting two cars. We waited outside for over a half hour. When your van finally arrived the rest of the people that came out after us rushed to the van and climbed in. Leaving us one seat. We were told that he would be back in 20 minutes or so to pick us up. Another rental was there in fact this was their third trip there while we were waiting for our guy to show up the first time. He offered us the same deal and we went with them maybe you need to have better service for pick up. We had two ladies that were almost 70 standing out in the sun waiting. We will think twice before using you againAvis
