Contact the hotel where you will be staying in Orlando or Tampa, Florida. Hotels can offer suggestions that can save you time and money during your visit. Most hotels will partner with companies that can give you a discount for service. Hotel shuttles are a free and convenient way to get you to the local Greyhound bus station.
Call car rental companies at Tampa International Airport or Orlando International Airport. Larger rental companies offer one-way or round-trip fees to rent their cars. One-way service allows you to drive the vehicle from an airport location and drop the rental car off at another airport location. Request a vehicle with a navigator system to get you to and from your location easily. Having access to convenient directions will take the stress out of your trip. You will need a major credit card and driver's license to rent a car.
Speak with local taxi drivers. Once you arrive in Tampa or Orlando, Florida, taxis are plentiful and available 24 hours. The two hour ride can be pricey, but you have the convenience of returning at your leisure, and you are not under any contract. Your hotel can help you find a reliable taxi service.
Contract with a limousine service. This is usually the most expensive option. A limousine will offer door- to-door service to and from each location. The ride is convenient and stress-free. Limousine services will take small and large groups and usually require a deposit and final payment before the day of scheduled travel. Review your cancellation policy, because if you decide not to use the service, you can lose your deposit.
Drive your own vehicle. Most hotels offer Internet services, and you can use the Mapquest website to plan your route.
