What is the best way to get from Port Tampa Bay to Tampa International Airport?

From Port Tampa Bay to Tampa International Airport (TPA) is about 10 miles by road, cruise-terminal area to airport. The morning a cruise ends is the busiest hour a port has: thousands of people and their luggage reach the same road inside a short window, and the difference between a good morning and a bad one is whether a named car is waiting at an agreed point or you are joining a queue.

Port Tampa Bay, the Port of Tampa to many of the people who sail from it, has three cruise terminals, 2, 3 and 6, in the Channelside District, and puts the airport a 15-minute drive from Channelside (Port Tampa Bay, n.d.). Say which terminal your ship uses and the car waits at that one.

Give the desk your ship, the terminal if your cruise line has told you which, and your flight. The pickup is set backwards from the time you need to be at the airport, not forwards from when the ship docks, and the captain is at the agreed point with your name. Say how many cases: an Executive Sedan holds 2; a Luxury SUV holds 5; an Executive Sprinter holds 12.

The fare beside this page is for 10 miles, with the 20% service charge already in it. The fare for your trip is set when the exact addresses are routed, and you see it before you book. Booking the ride to the ship and the ride home together is one conversation and one confirmation.
