Car Hire Tampa : Introduction
Car Hire Tampa, Saint
Petersburg and the beachside community of Clearwater are all located around Tampa
Bay on the western coast of central Florida. They are within two hours drive of
Orlando, Disney World, Universal Studios and the surrounding entertainment complexes.
This is a popular beach resort area for families that come to Florida to see the
Orlando attractions.
Car Hire Tampa is a very
distinct city. The first residents were the members of the Seminole Indian tribe
that was relocated there from northern Florida and the soldiers stationed at Fort
Brook to control the reservation. The town remained a mostly military town until
the 1880s when Tampa saw its first major waves of immigration from Cuba and Italy.
The major growth of the area did not occur until air conditioning became common
in the years after World War II, but the region has been growing steadily since
then.Tampa is now home to many native Floridians and Italians.

The Car Hire Tampa climate
is semi-tropical like the rest of Florida. Summers are very hot and humid. Winters
are cool but mild. Spring and fall are often the nicest times of year with warm
sunny days and cooler evenings. It rains a lot in Florida especially during the
summer months.
During the Spanish American War at the turn of the century, Tampa was the main port
of departure for troops heading for Cuba. During this time, the Plant Hotel was
converted into officer's accommodations, housing the Rough Riders and Teddy Roosevelt.
