Car rental for Tampa International (TPA)

How collection works

You choose a pickup point when you book. Each one shows its surcharge, if it has one, before you pay — nothing is added at collection.

The exact address and the meeting instructions arrive with your confirmation email and sit on your booking page, so there is no counter to find and no queue to join.

Why people book away from the rental centre

Airport rental desks price for a captive audience and add fees that only become visible at the end. The queue after a delayed flight is its own argument.

Booking direct with a small operator means the number you see when you pick your dates is the number charged. There is no upsell script, because there is no counter to run it at.

Practical notes for arrivals

Give yourself a realistic buffer after landing — baggage reclaim at TPA is quick by American standards, but a delayed flight is a delayed collection, and telling us early is always better than arriving late.

Several routes out of the airport carry tolls. A transponder saves the administrative fee that comes with pay-by-mail, and it is worth sorting before your first drive rather than after.

Common questions

Do you have a desk inside the terminal?

No. We are an independent local operator, not a counter in the rental centre. You choose a pickup point when you book and the exact instructions come with your confirmation.

What if my flight is delayed?

Tell us as soon as you know. We are a small operation, so a real person can move things around — which is considerably easier than explaining a delay to a desk with a queue behind you.

Is there an airport surcharge?

Any surcharge attached to a pickup point is shown next to it when you choose your dates, and it is in the total before you pay.
