Getting to and from Tampa International Airport (TPA)

Ways to reach TPA

• Rail

  SkyConnect

  A free train from the Main Terminal (boarding on Levels 1 to 3) to the Economy Garage and the Rental Car Center. It runs 24 hours a day with reduced frequency from about 12:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m., when waits can be around 10 minutes.

• Bus

  HART buses

  HART serves the airport with routes including Route 30 to downtown Tampa (Marion Transit Center and Whiting Street, where it connects to the TECO Line Streetcar). The airport says the HART and PSTA bus stop is at the Rental Car Center remote curb, reached by SkyConnect. HART's own site has described a curbside stop near the Red Baggage Claim, so follow the posted signs.

• Rideshare and taxi

  Red and Blue Express Curbsides

  Uber, Lyft and Wridz pick up at the Red Express Curbside, the Blue Express Curbside or the SkyCenter One remote curb, and the airport adds a $5.00 fee to the fare. Yellow Cab taxis are at the Ground Transportation areas Red 1 and Blue 2.

• Shuttle

  Hotel and charter shuttles

  Pick-ups and drop-offs are in the four ground transportation quad lots (Blue 1, Blue 2, Red 1 and Red 2) on Level 1. The departure level's west crossover drives are closed to buses.
