KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sarasota

  • As a tourist in Sarasota, there’s lots to discover with the help of a car. Rather than relying on public transport, embrace the comfort of a hire a car to explore Sarasota Bay and beyond in your own time. From the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens to Siesta Key Beach, you’ll have the freedom take in all of Sarasota’s sights.
  • Ready to rent a car on your vacation in Sarasota? If you are landing at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, you will find that the main terminal offers several on-site car hire facilities. Conveniently, the hire car counters can be found in the baggage claim wing just after you leave the Arrivals Hall.
  • Travelers new to Sarasota must remember to keep headlights on from dusk to dawn, as well as in rain or fog, as this is a requirement across the whole state. When you stop at a red light, you may turn right unless a sign indicating “no right on red” is posted. You are likely to encounter several toll roads on the outskirts of Sarasota, so always carry cash in your car.
  • Morning rush hour in Sarasota begins at 7:00 am and lasts until 9:00 am, and in the afternoon it goes from 3:00 pm until 7:30 pm. Try to avoid US 41 and I-75 highways during these peak times. During the summer months, Sarasota’s roads are practically traffic free, but come winter when everyone is escaping colder climates, the roads can become congested.
  • Book your rental car in Sarasota at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Sarasota are around 39% cheaper than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Sarasota 
BryanSept 2024
Expect to take more time driving around Sarasota area as there are traffic lights everywhere and they have red light cameras at almost every one. Speed limits are lower as well due to lights and volume of traffic.
Verified travelerJan 2024
The rental car place is located at 7010 south Tamiami Trail. That is very much south Sarasota. $35 Uber ride to the airport.
ChameleonOct 2023
Rent whatever suits your needs! traffic was very decent and highways move fast! good experience!
NickSept 2023
Don't bother with the toll prepay at hire, you can pay cash at all Florida toll plazas.
ClaraAug 2023

No tips. I'm a local (rented a car for visiting family), so no real help on the traffic, except that there is a lot of it, many drivers have no idea where they are going, and there are a lot of older folks driving very slow. ;) welcome to Florida.

If your car is not the way you think it should be, turn around and exchange it.

Not good. Unfortunately ended up in a different airport in Florida than anticipated. Need to alter my reservation from picking up at Orlando instead of Sarasota. Had a 5 day rental. Nothing could be done other than TRIPLE my rental agreement fees. I was forced to rent from another agency and paid several hundred dollars ( saving my hundreds of dollars had I chose budget) to simply drive 3 hours to pick up my original rental in Sarasota. Upon pick up in Sarasota. The car smelled terrible of smoke. I had to complain as to not get charged the initial day but couldn’t return it as I wa snot in the area. Honestly will never use budget again. Worst experience ever. Also was never offered and apology and certainly no discount. I never ask for any special treatment but I really felt taken advantage due to being stuck at the time.

confusion about pick up location meant I had to uber from airport to a distant suburban location and wait for more than an hour to pick up my car. return was not much better since no one ever answered the phone when I needed to extend the rental or change the drop off. the staff at the airport was not helpful but when we were finally assisted at Clark Road, the lady there was very nice.

Booked a convertible it confirmed. Got there and they didn't have a convertible because on was returned earlier that day with damage. They could have called or emailed before I paid to Uber to the dealership. The woman that was helping was insanely abrasive and rude about it instead of apologetic. I understand things happen but I absolutely should have been notified before my reservation time plus she did not need to be so abrasive about it. Apologetic and calm if the way she should have approached it. I am extremely unsatisfied and will not book again.

Car was not ready at reservation time. Had to wait over one half hour for a car. Then I was given a car I had not requested, an EV. Sarasota desk said it was at full charge and said there would not be a charge. Drove it 27 miles total. At turning it in in Venice, office had no electrical power, so could not finalize receipt. When I received receipt later, I was charged for use of 30% of battery charge. Called Hertz 800 number for explanation and agent was totally useless. Did not understand my request and all he could say was “mail in a receipt if you think you were overcharged for fuel”. I tried to explain the issue was that I could not have used 30% of battery in driving 27 miles, but all he could do was repeat same answer. Requested to speak to supervisor; was told one was not available and would call back. Waiting for the call back.

Simple “incident report” done upon return, easy, 15 min to do paperwork so was impressed they gave outside service, avoiding lines inside terminal.

Cons:

Initial car had obvious front end or alignment problem that should have never been rented out. Caused me to return next day for replacement. Eating my valuable vacation time.

Return was a real headache. I called day before to make sure ok to return before 4:00 am due to flight at 5:00 am, NO ENVELOPES at either key drop site!!! Dropped car off in parking lot. NO Envelopes! Ran back to make sure my 82 year old friend was ok at Delta counter. Then ran back to actual counter INSIDE airport. NO Envelopes. Ripped off a piece of paper and wrote info on it. Folded paper around key and had to practically stand on my head to get key in slot!!! By then I was exhausted. What can you say to me about this?? Curious if anyone will reach out to me since I treated the car with kid gloves!! ???

Pros:

I really liked the upgrade to the minivan.

Cons:

We waited one hour and 45 minutes in line at SRQ for the rental car. Only one attendant there. I also got a ticket for an expired tag that I had no control over.

Pros:

That eventually I got a small car.

Cons:

Had reserved a small car -- but only a truck was available. Was told to come back the next day, when there would be plenty of cars, and swap it out for a small car. Did that -- told us that no cars were available (all cars reserved -- tho of course my car was reserved too). Told to come back the next day between 8-10am -- when there would surely be plenty of cars. Did...and after 30 minutes (first saying there were no cars) they found a small car. Incidentally, had tried to call ahead each time but the main office didn't know the local car situation and no one answered the phone at the local office. Local office told me that they don't have anyone available to answer the phone. This isn't a problem that can be solved without people driving all the way to the airport to find out if there are cars available?

Pros:

Staff very friendly but had to cover three different rental agencies with two people and a long line. I felt very bad for them as some of the crowd were nasty and it was not their fault.

Cons:

More staffing at the pickup counter.
