Tampa Port: Rental Cars?

[Vaca2006]

1. Are there any rental car locations at the Tampa port? We'll be on the HAL Veendam returning to Tampa on 4/15. Our flight home is not until 8pm, so we'll have lots of time to play. I'd like to know I can get a car at the port and return it to the airport.

 

2. If I can't and must go to the airport to get a car, will I save much time taking a cab instead of a HAL transfer?

 

3. If I have to go to the airport, I'd like to check our luggage and get our boarding passes so that I don't have to allot time for those things at the end of the day. I've never checked in 10 hours before a flight; is there any reason I can't?

 

Thanks,

Lee

Most airlines only allow check in 4 hours out. Best advice. Call your airline.

 

There may be a few rental locations downtown which serve the port. Check each rental car site to see locations other than airport. Haven't heard of any that run shuttles.

 

Yes you will save time with a cab.
