How much is a car service in Tampa?
Because Tampa is beyond the standard Orlando zones, your rate is a flat, per-vehicle price quoted to your route with no surge and no per-mile meter. Here are the two trips this page's visitors book most - send the form for your exact number.
Insider note
The moment a Lightning game or an Amalie Arena concert lets out, rideshare prices spike and thousands of people fight for the same cars. A pre-booked chauffeur is already staged nearby at a flat rate, so you walk out, step in, and skip the surge and the crowd entirely.
Why book a private car in Tampa
One company for every Tampa trip - the airport, a boardroom, a ballgame, a cruise, or a night in Ybor. Here is what that gets you.
Met at Tampa International
Your chauffeur tracks your flight into Tampa International Airport (TPA) and meets you at the curb with a name sign, about 15 minutes from a downtown or Water Street hotel. No rideshare deck, no wait.
Flat rate, no event surge
Your price is quoted and fixed at booking. When a game or a concert lets out and rideshares surge, your rate does not move and your chauffeur is already there.
Downtown and Water Street
Door pickups at the JW Marriott and Tampa Marriott on Water Street, the convention center, the Riverwalk, and every downtown office, with a quiet cabin for a business call on the way.
Every Tampa event
Amalie Arena for the Tampa Bay Lightning and concerts, Raymond James Stadium for the Buccaneers, the Straz Center for a show, and Ybor City for the night after - dropped at the door and collected when you are done.
Cruise from Port Tampa Bay
Private transfers to the Port Tampa Bay cruise terminals in the Channel District, timed to your ship's boarding window, with room for the whole party and the luggage.
Orlando and any group
We run the roughly 90-minute drive from the Orlando area, and cover every group size from a Luxury Sedan for two to a party bus, with chauffeurs who know the Selmon Expressway and the downtown grid.
Orlux vs. rideshare vs. a rental car
There is a right way to handle a Tampa trip. Here is a straight comparison, including the parts that bite: event surge and downtown parking.
| Orlux Private car | Uber / Lyft | Rental car | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airport pickup | Name sign, curbside | App pin, no greet | ✗ Counter line |
| Pricing model | Flat, quoted at booking | Surge, varies | Daily + gas + parking |
| After a game or concert | ✓ Same rate, ready | Big surge, long wait | Event parking crush |
| Downtown parking | ✓ Not your problem | Drop and go | ✗ Pay to park |
| Group + luggage | ✓ One vehicle, up to 14 | ✗ Split across cars | One car, if it fits |
| Best for | Airport, events, cruise, groups | A quick local hop | If you will explore all week |

Getting around Tampa
- Downtown and Water Street - the walkable Tampa Riverwalk runs 15 stops along the Hillsborough River past the convention center, the Straz Center, and Sparkman Wharf, with the five-star JW Marriott and Tampa Marriott hotels at the heart of the new Water Street district.
- The event venues - Amalie Arena for Tampa Bay Lightning hockey and concerts, Raymond James Stadium for the Buccaneers, Steinbrenner Field for spring training, and the Straz Center for Broadway and shows.
- Historic Ybor City - the Latin quarter's 7th Avenue nightlife is a short run from downtown along the TECO Streetcar line, a favorite last stop after a game or dinner.
- Port Tampa Bay - three cruise terminals in the Channel District next to the Florida Aquarium, about 15 miles from Tampa International Airport (TPA), for a Gulf sailing.
- Beyond downtown - Bayshore Boulevard and Hyde Park, Busch Gardens and ZooTampa, and the Gulf beaches at Clearwater and St. Pete a short drive west.
Orlux Tampa car service is best for:
- Airport transfers - flight-tracked pickups at Tampa International Airport (TPA), met at the curb and taken door to door.
- Downtown business travel - Water Street hotels, the convention center, and office runs with a quiet cabin and on-time pickups.
- Games and concerts - Amalie Arena and Raymond James Stadium, dropped at the door and collected with no post-event surge.
- Cruises - Port Tampa Bay transfers timed to boarding, with room for the party and the luggage.
- Nights out - Ybor City, a night at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa, or a group booking our St. Pete bachelorette service.
- Orlando-to-Tampa trips - the roughly 90-minute run for a game, a show, or a sailing, in one vehicle both ways.
How do you plan a smooth Tampa trip?
A few things regular Tampa travelers know about getting around the city - the kind of detail you only get from chauffeurs who run it daily.
TPA is close, plan the pickup
Tampa International Airport (TPA) is only about 15 minutes from downtown via the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway. Share your flight and terminal and your chauffeur tracks the arrival and meets you at the curb, ready for a delay or an early landing.
Beat the post-event rush
Amalie Arena and Raymond James Stadium empty thousands of people at once, and rideshares surge hard. A pre-booked chauffeur stages nearby and knows the exit routes, so you leave while everyone else is still waiting.
Cruise day, plan backward
Port Tampa Bay sits in the Channel District about 15 miles from the airport, and most lines want you aboard well before departure. Tell us the ship and time and we set the pickup so the group and the bags reach the terminal on schedule.
Downtown parking is a hassle
Water Street and the Riverwalk fill up fast for a convention, a game, or a dinner. A door-to-door drop skips the garage hunt, and your chauffeur returns to the same entrance when you are ready.
End the night in Ybor
Historic Ybor City is the go-to for a night out after a game or a show. We drop on 7th Avenue and set a return pickup, so nobody drives and the group stays together to the last stop.
Pair Tampa with Orlando or the beach
Tampa is about 90 minutes from the Orlando parks and a short run from Clearwater Beach and St. Petersburg. We can build a multi-city day so one chauffeured company handles the whole itinerary.
Planning your Tampa trip:
- Send the flight - your Tampa International Airport (TPA) flight number and terminal let us track and meet you at the curb.
- Share the plan - your hotel, the venue or the port, group size, and dates, so we quote the route and stage the right vehicle.
- Flag the event - a game, a concert, or a convention changes the traffic and the timing; tell us and we plan around it.
- Count the group - a sedan or SUV for a couple, a van for a group, or a Sprinter or party bus for an event or a night out.
- Book the return - lock the departure with the arrival and we hold both flat rates.
- Add a day trip - Clearwater Beach, St. Petersburg, or the Orlando parks can be added as-directed.
