For groups of 6 or more, GO Airport Shuttle’s private van service keeps your entire party in one vehicle with room for luggage, golf bags, strollers, and beach gear. Every private van is reserved exclusively for your group with no shared stops and no waiting for other passengers.
This service is popular for families arriving ahead of a Port of Tampa cruise departure, corporate teams heading to offsite meetings, wedding parties, and convention groups arriving at the Tampa Convention Center.
