Stop Overpaying for Transportation

Most travelers assume the big names at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport are their only choice for a Sarasota car rental. But when the Miller family from Gulf Gate tallied their annual vacation costs, they realized they were hemorrhaging money on overpriced daily rates.

For years, they paid $455 a weekโ€”that's roughly $65 a dayโ€”at national chains like Enterprise or Hertz. They were trapped in a cycle of high prices just to navigate between Downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key Beach. That is when they discovered Hooptie Rentals.

The Real Math: $255 Weekly Savings

Here is the math that the rental industry hides from you: By switching to Hooptieโ€™s $200/week flat-rate, the Millers saved $255 every single week. Over the course of their extended stay in Southwest Florida, they put $2,400 back in their pockets. Instead of funding a rental company's overhead, that money went toward a new surfboard, fine dining at St. Armands Circle, and a season pass to the Ringling Museum.
