Enterprise Car Rental at Tampa Airport

Tampa International Airport is one of the most important airports in the state of Florida, an area of the United States famous for its wonderful coastal areas and wide variety of other attractions, such as amusement parks and museums. The area is truly best explored in a private vehicle, and therefore, there are several Tampa International Airport car hire companies available, such as Enterprise. From Enterprise, airport passengers can rent a car that is ideal for their journey in Tampa, or Florida, at an affordable price. The vehicle will be in good condition and reliable.

The airport of Tampa consists of a large terminal building that houses the baggage claim halls, ticketing counters and check-in facilities, as well as four satellite airside buildings where passengers will find their airline gates. The airside buildings are referred to as A, C, E and F, and are where passengers will arrive as well. Airside F is used for international flights and Airside E was built for the operations of Delta Air Lines. The main building also has a parking garage above it, a Transfer Level with stations for the people mover trains that run to the satellite buildings and a monorail station where trains are available to the long-term parking area. There are also connections from the terminal to the airport’s car hire companies, which include Enterprise, a well known car rental brand in the United States of America, Canada and a few other countries. Enterprise is open at this airport location seven days a week and twenty-four hours a day.

The Tampa International Airport car rental companies make every effort to provide their customers with high quality vehicles that have affordable rental rates. They are arranged into various car groups, or categories, and are hired accordingly. Although some car hire companies may offer vehicles by their specific makes and models, Enterprise customers will select a category, such as Economy, Compact, Intermediate, Standard or Fullsize. They will then receive a vehicle that is the same or similar to the example given for their category chosen. All cars within a category are similar in size and characteristics. Economy and Compact cars often come with the lowest rental rates, and could include the Chevy Aveo, Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris. They are ideal for small families, couples or individual travellers who do not require much room for luggage.

Larger sized vehicles are found in the other categories mentioned, and are similar to the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, Ford Fusion, Chevy Impala, Nissan Altima and Dodge Charger. They have more luggage room, and a slightly more spacious interior. They could also include additional features such as a CD player. All cars, however, come with air conditioning and an automatic transmission. Customers will need to discuss the possibilities of a manual car with Enterprise prior to their arrival, should this type of vehicle be required. Enterprise hires premium and luxury cars as well, such as the Toyota Avalon and Lincoln Towncar, and SUVs, similar to the Ford Escape, Jeep Liberty, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Lincoln Navigator, GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition. SUVs in the United States are very popular, and may come with power locks, power mirrors, advanced driver and passenger airbags, split rear seats and a powerful V8 engine.

From Enterprise Tampa International Airport, hand controls for disabled drivers can be requested free of charge by anyone with a lower limb disability. Able drivers may not use the device. Enterprise’s hand control equipment is only available on certain types of automatic vehicles, and should therefore be reserved at least forty-eight hours prior to your arrival. Visually impaired individuals can also hire a vehicle as the primary renter, provided that they are accompanied by a person with a valid drivers license. In this case, the second driver is free of charge. Although the credit card of the visually impaired customer will be used, the driving license of the accompanying driver will validate the rental.

Under usual circumstances, a second driver listed on the rental contract will cost a few extra dollars per day of car hire. He/she should also be present at the rental counters to collect the vehicle, and should meet the same requirements as the primary renter. US driving licenses and Canadian-endorsed licenses are accepted, and the following are credit cards often accepted by car hire companies in the United States: American Express, Diner’s Club Int’l, MasterCard, Visa, AT & T Capital, GE Capital, Sears, PHH and Discover. Additional charges will also be applicable for younger drivers (persons aged between 21 and 24), as there are extra insurance costs involved. Younger drivers may also not be permitted to hire vehicles from certain car categories (usually those containing larger or specialty type vehicles).

When hiring a vehicle, ensure that you indicate the return location if an Enterprise one way hire is preferred. This is when the vehicle will not be returning to Tampa International Airport. One way hires from Enterprise may require an advanced reservation, may not be possible to arrange for all vehicle categories and may have additional expenses. Although extra costs may be involved, one way hires are sometimes more convenient for certain travellers.
