KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Dunedin
- People considering car rentals in Dunedin have the right idea because this city on Florida's Gulf Coast is renowned for its natural wonders, which can be difficult to reach on public transportation. For instance, Honeymoon Island State Park is reachable by a causeway over St. Joseph sound. You can get there from downtown in Dunedin car rentals in about 10 minutes. Public transportation can drop you off close to Honeymoon Island State Park, but you will have to walk for almost an hour from the bus stop to actually get there. And while public transportation can get you to downtown Tampa in about 2 hours, Dunedin car rentals can get you there in about 30 minutes. Car rentals in Dunedin can save you time and give you the freedom to explore a fascinating city in a fascinating state.
- The Tampa International Airport (TPA) is about a 30-minute drive east of Dunedin, across Old Tampa Bay. Such proximity and convenience make TPA an ideal location for securing Dunedin car rentals. Once your plane lands at TPA, take the SkyConnect train from the Main Terminal to the Rental Car Center, which houses over a dozen different rental car agencies. When it is time to return your rental vehicle, follow the rental car center signs as you approach the airport. Once you drop off your car, you can take the SkyConnect train to the TPA Main Terminal.
- Dunedin is known for having a quaint downtown that bustles with art galleries, microbreweries, coffee shops, and niche boutiques. Drive slowly and with caution through downtown in car rentals in Dunedin, constantly being aware of all the pedestrian traffic. Dunedin is world-renowned for its scenic beauty, therefore, you may want to drive slowly, soaking in the sights. But more importantly, be aware of other drivers taking their time, especially on roads such as Victoria Drive, famous for its scenic beauty.
- Because Dunedin is such a popular tourist spot and because it is so close to the bustling metropolis of Tampa, traffic can be congested almost any time of day, any time of year. However, traffic is a bit worse during rush hour, between 7 am and 9 am and then again between 4 pm and 6 pm. What makes rush hour even more dangerous for those driving car rentals in Dunedin is the steady flow of walkers, cyclists, and joggers who take advantage of the 37 miles of the Pinellas Trail or the Dunedin Causeway. Drive with caution if you are on either of these two very popular roadways.
- Book your car hire in Dunedin at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Standard car hire in Dunedin are around 11% cheaper than other car types, on average

I did not have to wait long to pick up my rental in Clearwater. The price was very good for a three day rental in a tourist area during peak season also.Cons:
We had reserved a compact car, but when we got to the counter, the guy told me all they had was a pickup truck. It was nice and drove well, but was a little difficult to put our luggage in the back seat. We would not have had any room if we had a third or fourth person with us.9,6 Wonderful
