Shuttles to the port in Tampa

[boowaaccaa]

We are staying at La Quinta Inn Tampa Bay Airport - is there a shuttle service we can use to get to the port? What would a taxi cost?

Taxi from TPA to the port is $25+tip -- fare from your hotel should be about the same.

Thanks! I did find one shuttle service but it would be more then a taxi. We were just thinking a shuttle would be easier as we would not need our car seat for our 10 month old.

In FLA if the seat has a seat belt -- which you will find in most shuttle vans - a car seat is required; not sure I would trust a "free" car seat from the shuttle company. :(

The airlines will check the seat for free (if you do not want to use it on the flight) and you'll need the seat for excursions at whatever ports you are going to.

I'd take the cab and tip the driver a few extra bucks for the time spent installing and uninstalling the car seat. :cool:

I copied and pasted this from the Hotel Website, we are staying there in February.
"Transportation is available each day to Seaport in Tampa."
:oI took that to mean they have a shuttle leaving from the Hotel to the Port for a fee. If not it's no big deal to get a cab and as stated the cost is about $25

Shuttle from La Quinta Airport to the cruise port is $10 per person.
