Getting To Your Hotel

If you travelled to Tampa by plane, then you will need to know how to get to your hotel. The Tampa Bay airport is one of the largest airports in the Florida state. It’s located less than 15km west of Hillsborough County which is the central business district. It is a short distance by car, but a very long road by foot. How would you like to leave the airport?

You can rent a car right at the airport itself. There are many agencies to choose from and some will have better deals than other. If at all possible, you have one prearranged. As I mentioned on our homepage, you may want to bundle other things when getting a good hotel deal. That includes a rental car. The great thing about the rental is that you pick it up at the airport, and drop it off at the airport. Since the airport itself has expanded over the years, it is now roughly 989feet from your gate to the rental agencies. Be sure to calculate all of the hidden fees and insurance. Sometimes renting a car is not worth it and you may try another option.

You may take one of the many available taxies waiting outside, but be warned. They usually charge quite a bit and it may not be worth your while. Instead, you may hire a driver beforehand. Usually they will be very affordable and take you in luxourius vehicles. If you decide to go with one of the van services, it may be even cheaper. The van services usually take 8-10 people depending on luggage. These can be much cheaper than renting a car that you won’t really need.

Although there isn’t a subway or train station at the airport, you can take a bus. However, if you have a lot of luggage this may be extremely difficult and in some cases, not allowed. The bus ticket booth is usually open during regular business hours. If you decide you want to take the bus but cannot take your luggage, there are also many services to deliver your luggage to your hotel. Some credit cards even allow you to transfer one piece of luggage for free. So it is best to check with your credit card company to see if they offer this service.

The Tampa Airport has everything you need from banking to hotel suites nearby. Getting to your hotel from the airport is extremely easy with all the options available but you should pre arrange your transportation to get the best deal. See you in Tampa.
