Question
Do I need to rent a car to get around?
Answer
For getting to and from St. Pete it generally is cheaper to just uber to and from the airport. However, if you are staying for an extended period of time and want to explore the area it is pretty cheap to rent a car. If you do rent, we would recommend booking one of the major rental agencies actually located at Tampa airport (TPA). This way you can take a tram from the terminal to the rental garage.
