What to expect

Useful details for this trip

Pickup coordination

After landing, go to Level 1 baggage claim and follow your airline’s Red-side or Blue-side signs. Collect every checked bag, then text or call 813-922-1236 with your side and nearest belt or door. For standard curbside service, remain inside until the driver confirms the loading point; TPA curbs are active-loading zones. Red-side ground transportation is nearest Belt 9 and Blue-side ground transportation is nearest Belt 7. Meet-and-greet inside baggage claim is available when requested and confirmed in advance; parking or access charges are shown in the quote.

Local route planning

TPA’s Main Terminal baggage claim is divided into Red on the north side and Blue on the south side. The airport’s signs above the elevators and escalators identify the correct side for each airline. Curbside pickup is the standard option; passengers with carry-on luggage only may be directed to a Red or Blue Express Curbside when airport operations permit.

What to include when booking

Provide your airline and flight number, pickup or destination address, travel date, passengers, checked bags, carry-ons, strollers, mobility equipment and requested car seats. Scheduled arrivals include flight monitoring and 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time after the flight’s actual gate arrival. If a delay or baggage issue will exceed that period, call or text immediately; continued waiting, a replacement driver, or a rescheduled pickup depends on availability and any added charge is confirmed before service continues.

Vehicle options for your trip

Executive sedans, black SUVs, and Sprinter vans can be arranged according to passenger count, luggage, availability, and trip requirements.
