What To Expect

Getting from the airport to your destination can be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. There is a convenient option that takes all the hassle and guesswork out of renting a car or arranging for a shared shuttle after a long flight.

Simplify the entire process upon arrival at Tampa International Airport (TPA). Travel to any Tampa, Busch Gardens, St Petersburg Beach, Brandon, Sun City Center or Clearwater accommodation in style and comfort by arranging for a private transfer vehicle.

It couldn’t be easier. After leaving the baggage claim area, look for a professional chauffeur holding a personalized sign. That’s it. Then hop in the vehicle with up to four other family and friends. Price is per person, based on three passengers per sedan or five per sports utility vehicle

No car and no refuund for FAA grounding

Robert_H, Jan 2023

Due to the FAA grounding on Jan 11th we missed our connection and when I contacted them I was told no car was available to pick up at our new arrival and I was refunded only 16$ of the 68$ we paid. As a point of comparison we took a taxi from airport for 40$.

Very disappointed

Peter_G, Apr 2022

Unable to give a good review. Charged extra when husband on the morning 8th April. Said we where no being picked up till we paid the difference for the Tampa transfer. Also our transfer from New Orleans hotel to our Airport flight no show or phone call. We had to pay for a taxi. Still out pocket. Then we arrived at Tampa no show. Maybe communication problem. Maybe the block wasn't lifted. We are not to blame we paid in February the price we where quoted. We paid that morning of the 8th April. My husband asked what time was pick up for our transfer that day 11 am. Waited 20mins. Sorry was not missing our flight for communication problems and wrong quotes. Thank you. Hopefully you can resolve the matter. So we cancelled our transfer to Airport on the 15th received 46 pounds in our account. My 60th feels a let down my this transfer company. Please investigate. One very unhappy birthday.

Dreadful experience

Sian_T, Feb 2022

The driver did not turn up! We rang the numbers that you gave us but were told that they were not operational. Eventually I got through to be passed from one person to another and left on hold until my phone credit ran out. When I got to my hotel by standard taxi and had access to Wi-Fi, I discovered that the driver had been using What’s app to contact me. This had not been mentioned. Given that you had my phone number I don’t understand why this wasn’t phoned or texted. We were at the airport an hour and a half trying to get in touch. Waste of time. Very disappointing start to my holiday. I would like my money back for such a poor service.

Wear a mask pls

Joann_L, Aug 2021

Driver met us , but didn’t seem to understand we were coming from overseas and had to switch to US phones only when we arrived in country. That said he was nice and helpful. I only would ask that he wear his mask in the car. We had traveled a long way and it would be safer for him and us for everyone to wear a mask in the car as well as in the airport.
