Public Transportation and Bus Companies
Public bus services like HART and PSTA serve Tampa International Airport, and public transit is the most affordable TPA transfer. It's cheaper than Tampa Airport shuttles and private car service. The airport bus stop is located at the Rental Car Center. To get to the station, follow the airport signs to Remote Curbside, which is very close to the main terminal.
The Greyhound station is available by taxi or Super Shuttle, as the bus terminal is located in downtown Tampa at E 610 Polk St, which is 8 miles away from Tampa International Airport. It's ideal for travelers going outside Hillsborough County, Florida.

We recommend using PrivateCar to get multiple quotes from top limo services and bus companies in Tampa Bay. Alternatively, go direct to GoGo Charters to find a good charter bus service.
