St. Pete–Clearwater International is the airport people fly into for Clearwater Beach, Dunedin and the north Pinellas beaches, and it has no luxury or exotic rental counter. That does not matter: we meet your flight at the curb. This is how it works, what the cars cost in 2026, and where we deliver from there.
How delivery at PIE works
PIE has one terminal with arrivals on the lower level, which makes it the easiest airport we serve. You send us the flight number when you book. We track it, stage the car at the curb outside baggage claim fifteen minutes before the arrival time, and hand it over there: ten minutes on the controls, the drive modes and the paperwork, and you are on Roosevelt Boulevard. On the way home we meet you at departures, take the car back and you walk in. There is no shuttle, no counter, no airport surcharge, and the rate is the same as delivery to a hotel.
Private aviation at PIE is handled the same way at the FBOs on the field; tell us which one when you book.

Where the cars go from PIE
- Clearwater Beach is ten minutes: Roosevelt to Gulf-to-Bay, over the Memorial Causeway. The Targa and the Corvette are the beach bookings.
- Downtown St. Pete is fifteen minutes down I-275. The M3 and M4 are the cars for a week of Beach Drive and Central Avenue.
- Dunedin, Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs are twenty to thirty minutes up Alternate 19, the drive for the GT3.
- Tampa is twenty-five minutes over the Howard Frankland or the Courtney Campbell; the Maybach chauffeured is the Westshore transfer.
- Sarasota and the keys are an hour south over the Skyway, and the car can be returned there instead of at the airport.
PIE or TPA
Tampa International has more flights and more airlines; PIE has Allegiant and the leisure routes and is closer to the beaches. We deliver curbside at both on identical terms, and the return can be at either, so a trip that lands at PIE and leaves from TPA is fine. For Clearwater Beach, PIE saves twenty minutes each way; for downtown St. Pete the two are close; for Tampa itself, TPA. Full TPA details are on the Tampa airport luxury car rental page.
What to have ready at the curb
Your licence, the card the booking is on, and your insurance card or app. The handover is quicker if the insurance is already confirmed by email before you fly, which we ask for at booking. The refundable security hold is placed at the curb and released after the car is returned and inspected.
Requirements
You must be 21 or older with a valid driver's licence, proof of full-coverage insurance that extends to a vehicle of this value, and a major credit card in your own name. International licences are accepted with a passport. A refundable security hold is placed on the card at handover and released after the car is returned and inspected; the figure depends on the car and is confirmed in writing before you pay anything.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rent an exotic car at St. Pete–Clearwater Airport?
Not at a counter; there is none. We deliver curbside at PIE with your flight tracked, hand the car over outside baggage claim in about ten minutes and collect it at departures when you leave.
Is there an airport fee at PIE?
No. The rate is the same as delivery to a hotel or a house anywhere in Pinellas.
How early should I send my flight details?
When you book, and again if the flight changes. We track the arrival time and stage the car fifteen minutes before it.
PIE or TPA for a Clearwater Beach trip?
PIE is ten minutes from the causeway; TPA is twenty-five. If the fares are close, PIE saves the drive. We deliver to both on the same terms.
Call or text 813-921-6973 with your dates and the delivery address; we reply the same day with availability and a written quote. More on the exotic car rental in St. Petersburg page and the Tampa Bay fleet.
