Tampa: Blue One Transportation or Cab?

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

We are going to look into seeing whether we can change our National rental car return to Westin Tampa Harbour Island. We can take Blue One Transportation (booked directly through them) to the port for $30 flat rate for all of us. (The hotel advertises $3 per person on Blue One, but I assume that rate is only for hotel guests, but I will check).

 

There are 5 of us with luggage. How hard would it be to get a van style cab from Westin Tampa Harbour Island? How much would it cost?

 

Assuming I can change the drop off location, this seems easier than dropping the car off at the airport, and then transport to the port from there.

 

PS Anyone ever use Blue One Transportation?

Never heard of them. :confused:

 

The drive from hotel to port is about 9-10 miles, probably comparable to the drive from the TPA airport which is a $25 cab ride. Suspect your $30 fare is about what the cab fare would be.

Thanks, but I thought the Westin Harbour Island was about one mile from the port?

Maybe I am thinking of a different hotel - if the trip is only 1 mile then a taxi will be MUCH cheaper, even with a big tip.
