Many travelers like to invest in a full-sized sedan when renting a car in Clearwater. The full-sized sedans provide a little more space and comfort during those long coastal drives. For larger families, a comfortable mini-van or smooth driving SUV are excellent options.
While driving through the city, expect the speed limit to be posted between 20 and 30mph. On the Interstate, cars may travel up to 70mph and 65mph on other highways. Outside of residential roads, unmarked roads in Florida generally have a speed limit of 55mph. Drivers should be vigilant in looking for marked speed limits in Clearwater to avoid a hefty fine. Speed cameras are installed on traffic lights on Chestnut Street, Belcher Road, and Fort Harrison Avenue.
Visitors of Clearwater should expect to pay for parking. The city is equipped with parking meters, and most of the beaches have paid parking garages. However, some limited free two-hour parking garages are surrounding certain popular areas, like Clearwater Beach and Madeira Beach. Those interested in Clearwater car rentals should prepare to have their wallets or purses at the beach though. Most parking lots charge roughly $3 for 5h.

Try putting some tires that aren't BALD on your cars. Super dangerous. And maybe not paying 550 bucks to rent a car for 4 days. What a waste2.0 Poor

Kiosk at the airport was unmanned and had to use Alamo for picking up the Enterprise reserved vehicle. The line was long and moved slowly and took about 30 minutes. Very disappointed with that portion of the process, otherwise was a fine experience.9.6 Wonderful
