Tampa - accessible transportation to/from airport

[TJ O'Pootertoot]

Hi all - I have cross-posted this in the Disabled Cruising forum as  I was wondering if anyone has experience with wheelchair taxis and/or ride services in Tampa.

 

In particular, we're going to be flying in with my daughter, who has a power wheelchair. The airport's website says they have wheelchair taxis but you should allow "a reasonable amount of additional time," which could mean anything (and, in my experience, tends to be not so reasonable).

 

We're flying in the night before and the hotel has a shuttle to the port* so the main concerns are what is available to get from the airport to the hotel and then from the port to the airport. It looks like there are a few bookable services but they don't all have great reviews and obviously we want something easy and reliable. I know one option is to book a transfer through the cruise line (RCL) but I wanted to see what the options might be and if others have used them.

 

*I doubt the hotel shuttle is AODA compliant but I believe they are required to provide equiavlent service so I'm planning to give them advance notice so they can provide a wheelchair cab. If there are issues/concerns there, I could always try the cruise transfer...
