You’ll land in Tampa and find your private driver waiting at baggage claim—no searching or stress. Enjoy WiFi onboard, comfy seating (with car seats if you need), and an easy ride straight to Clearwater. You’ll feel looked after from start to finish—and maybe notice Florida’s citrus scent along the way.
"You must be tired — let me grab your bag," our driver said as we shuffled off the plane at Tampa Airport, still blinking from the recycled air. I didn’t expect to see my name on a sign right by baggage claim (felt a bit like a celebrity, not gonna lie). The guy — I think his name was Mike — had this calm way about him, like he’d seen every kind of travel day. He tracked our flight so even though we landed late, he was just there waiting, not a hint of stress.
The car smelled faintly of citrus (Florida, right?) and the AC was already running. My daughter’s car seat was set up in the back exactly how we’d asked — no extra charge or weird looks. Mike offered us WiFi straight away; my partner immediately started uploading photos for her mom. We could’ve stopped for snacks on the way to Clearwater but honestly, we were too wiped out. The drive itself took about 50 minutes — traffic was mellow that afternoon, just a few palm trees blurring past and that sticky Gulf air outside the window.
I kept thinking how different it felt from those usual airport shuttles where you’re crammed in with strangers and everyone’s pretending not to listen to each other’s phone calls. Here it was just us, quietly decompressing while Mike pointed out where the old baseball stadium used to be (I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise). He even helped with our bags at the end — small thing but it stuck with me. I still think about that first breath of salty air when we stepped out in Clearwater; it felt like finally arriving somewhere real.
