Clearwater Flights and Airline Tips 1 - 10 of 10  
Tampa International Airport (TPA)

    The first stop on my trip to Clearwater, FL occurred when I landed in the area at Tampa International Airport. I arrived via American Airlines from Dallas Fort Worth, which has multiple flights per day. I landed at gate 79, which is considered the "Blue Section" of the baggage claim area. From there, I headed out to the onsite car rental area to find out that my rental car company is not located onsite, despite the information my travel agent told me. If you exit in the blue area, there will be several onsite rental car agencies, but if you do not see yours, then you have to head around the corner to the left to the offsite courtesy shuttle section (there are no signs for rental car agencies).

    The airport itself is an old battle tested location, with some beautiful Florida-like pink highlights. There is also a shuttle in between the gates and the check in area, so make sure you allocate enough time to get to your gates.

    We flew to Tampa on United via Chicago. From there you can get a bus to Clearwater, but we took a taxi as it was late at night and it seeemed easiest

    • You can fly into Tampa's International airport (TPA) or Clearwater/St. Petersburg airport (PIE). Both are convenient, and nice airports - just pick the best airfare. (Clearwater's airport is a lot smaller, but very nice.)

    Another option - this area is only about 1.5 hrs. from Orlando, driving time.
    Rent a car - a convertible if you can. Otherwise, there is only bus service and taxis as alternate transportation. There are agencies that rent high-end cars (i.e. a Porsche or Viper), and at least one Harley-Davidson rental agency, but these can (of course) be expensive.

    National Rental Car

    On this particular business trip, I picked up a rental car from National at (actually near) the Tampa International Airport. The National rental station is not located on the airport, so if you are arriving, do not follow the signs to the rental car facility, as it will not be there. Instead, go to the signs that indicate ground transportation and courtesy shuttles. You will see the Alamo|National courtesy shuttles and then head on over.

    The first stop at the facility is for Executive Selection, then Emerald Club, then National, then Alamo.

    I paid 36.00 a day for a midsize, and 9.00 a day for a GPS system.

    If you are looking for public transportation in or around Clearwater, your best bet is to check out the bus route and schedule from PSTA.net. PSTA is the transit authority for the area, and when I was driving around, there were plenty of these buses running. It seemed that every major thoroughfare had one visible at most times, so this is likely a good choice for those looking to save a dollar or two.

    It appears for travelers to the area, that the "GO card" is the way to go, no pun intended. It is currently (Oct. 2008) a $4USD card with reduced fare options for seniors that are $2. The current single ride fare is $1.25 or $.75 for seniors.

    From the end of Clearwater Beach you can take the trolley bus which takes you quite a way down the coast. You can drop off at various resorts and shopping malls

    • Although this being America it is common to hire a car, we found it quite easy to get around using the local buses. They are quite efficient but it takes that bit longer to get anywhere. You can buy a day ticket for unlimited travel

    Trolley

    • There are a couple of trolleys that service the entire area. Any hotel will have schedules & all info needed. A trolley ticket is only $1. If you're really into sightseeing (& letting someone else doing the driving) you can ride all day for a whopping $3. The trolleys are cheap & provide a great service, but not always exactly on-time. Just know this in advance. Relax, and don't stress out over a 5 or 10 minute delay!
