Useful details for this trip
Local route planning
SRQ sits on the Sarasota–Manatee county line off US-41, close to downtown Sarasota, the Lido and Longboat Key causeways and Anna Maria Island. Winter season brings heavy traffic on US-41 and the island bridges, so pickups are planned from the exact address.
What to include when booking
Share the airline, flight number, destination address, travelers, bags, strollers and any child-seat requests. For trips continuing to Tampa or Port Tampa Bay, include the time you need to arrive.
Vehicle options for your trip
Executive sedans, black SUVs, and Sprinter vans can be arranged according to passenger count, luggage, availability, and trip requirements.
