Parking Doctors (Tampa) Closed?

[Ubiquitous Cruiser]

Seems that they've closed as their website is offline and BookFace is ghosted ... any other offsite parking options to check out?

In case anyone else is looking for offsite parking, we've booked parking at Global Airport Parking. They have port parking on Channelside and are 1.5 miles from the port with a shuttle service. The rate is $9 / day. Will report back with a review after we cruise.

Have you read their Yelp reviews....they are rated 1.5 stars.

Just back and wanted to detail our experience with Global Airport Parking. The entrance is on Channelside and almost next door to the old Parking Doctor's lot. it's pretty much a one man operation. You self park and are double parked.

 

The check-in process is pretty slow. There is one shuttle so you may have to wait for him to return to the lot. When he does return he loads your luggage and checks you in. You leave your keys with him and he gives you a valet ticket.  He then explains that on your departure day he will have already moved your car so that when you get back to the lot your car will be ready to go - meaning you won't have to wait for anyone to move their car before you can leave. He dropped us off and pointed out the pickup spot and explained that when we returned he would drive pax back to the lot first come first serve. In other words, he does not wait for the shuttle to fill up before leaving.

 

On our departure day we exited the terminal and saw him at the pickup spot. Upon entering the shuttle he took us back to the lot, handed us our keys and off we drove - just like he said.

 

The lot is rustic and the check-in process needs some operations management help, but all in all it's a value judgement. For us it was fine and would use the lot again.
