Call 813-922-1236TPA to Clearwater Beach car service
A private SUV or sedan waiting for you at Tampa International Airport, taking your party straight to your Clearwater Beach hotel, resort, condo or vacation rental — no shared shuttle stops, no rideshare surge.
Quick answer
Clearwater Beach is about 20 miles from Tampa International Airport — usually 35 to 50 minutes by car across the Courtney Campbell Causeway. Wright Executive Transportation provides private, prearranged car service for the trip: your chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you after baggage claim and drives your party directly to your Clearwater Beach hotel or rental, with car seats and bottled water included and taxes, fees and tolls built into the quote.
Private. Comfortable. Dependable.
Clearwater Beach is the most popular trip we drive from TPA. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you after baggage claim, loads the bags and takes the Courtney Campbell Causeway and Memorial Causeway straight to your door. Families get car seats installed before pickup, and the return ride to the airport can be booked at the same time.

Planning your ride
Share your flight number, the exact hotel or rental address, how many people are traveling and every suitcase, stroller and golf bag. We confirm the right vehicle and send your total before you book.
What to expect
Your chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you after baggage claim at TPA's Level 1 (Red or Blue side, depending on your airline), with a name sign on request. Bags are loaded for you, and child seats you requested are already installed. If you're flying into St. Pete–Clearwater Airport instead, the same service is available from PIE, which is about 12 miles from the beach.
From TPA the usual route is the Courtney Campbell Causeway (SR-60) across Old Tampa Bay, through Clearwater and over the Memorial Causeway onto the beach. Traffic onto the island backs up on weekend afternoons, spring break and holidays, so a Sand Key or Mandalay Avenue address can change the timing. We plan every pickup from the exact address.
Share the flight number, hotel or rental address, the number of travelers and every checked bag, carry-on, stroller, golf bag or cooler. Ask for a grocery or store stop when you book. Return trips to TPA or PIE can be scheduled in the same request once you know your departure flight.
Executive sedans, black SUVs, and Sprinter vans can be arranged according to passenger count, luggage, availability, and trip requirements.

Common questions
About 35 to 50 minutes for the roughly 20-mile trip in normal traffic. Weekend afternoons, spring break and holidays can add time, especially crossing onto the beach.
A private car is booked in advance at a set price, tracks your flight, meets you inside baggage claim and fits your whole party and luggage — with car seats installed if you need them. Rideshare can be cheaper for one or two light travelers, but pricing surges and larger vehicles aren't guaranteed.
PIE is closer (about 12 miles), but TPA has far more airlines and nonstop routes. We serve both — compare flights, then book the car to match.
