No cheap parking at Tampa International Airport - take a taxi instead

 In late February, Richard Hettinga trekked from his home in Palmetto to Tampa International Airport for a trip to Alaska. He had never flown out of there before, and when he arrived to catch his early morning flight he parked his Ford F-150 pickup truck in the long-term parking garage. When he returned a month later, he had a $640 bill waiting. It was  like getting his car out of a pawn shop.
This is the Bull Shit put out by Tampa International Airport about 'cheap parking': 
"There are more cheap parking spots at Tampa International Airport (TPA) than ever before.A $71 million economy parking garage offers travelers 3,300 covered spaces. This is in contrast to most cheap parking spots, which are usually uncovered and on the fringes of airports.Why the new spaces? More cars. The facility was built, “due to increased demand for parking and parking garages,” says Louis E. Miller, Tampa International Airport’s executive director. “We can now offer a new option for parking that’s affordable and maintains the highest-level of customer service.”
Cheap is a relative term. $14 to park close to the airport, $7 for the "cheap lot."
Did you know most travelers  that are taken to the TPA by Taxi are less than $20 fares. And we take you "curb to curb for your convenience. You don't have to wait in a "cell phone" lot and hope that a shuttle picks you up on time. It would seen logical that people take advantage of the outstanding service cabs provide in the Tampa Bay area.

Fuck Uber or Lyft. You risk getting arrested now if you use them. We don't want you to go to jail. We want you to go on your trip and have a good time. Call United Cab - your legal and cheap alternative.
The cellphone lot is for people coming to pick up at the airport. Instead of your friends watching a scoreboard like they were at the track, use United Cab of Tampa

  1. Great article, Tim. I wasn't aware of the high fees charge at TIA for the parking. I had used the remote garage in the past and thought it was reasonable but the last time I used an off site parking lot that wasn't covered. It was cheap but the service was not that great. I will try to keep you in mind for the next trip. :) Keep up the good work here.
