Hey Tampa, Fl folks, My Mom moved to Tampa and for her birthday I wanted to buy her some sort of car service account which I would pay for because she doesn't drive and doesn't have a car, and as you all probably know, it is virtually impossible to live there without driving or being driven. Does anyone have any information, clues, advice for me? I would appreciate it very much. I am going down to visit her this Friday for the first time so I know absolutely nothing about Florida at this point. Also- I don't drive either. Thanks again for your help and Best regards from - A Fledgling

I lived in the over 55+ in St Pete and Clearwater area and never heard of this service in these parts, I had to do a minor medical procedure and had family drive all the way from Orlando for the day.. Hope you find someone,

umm, sounds like you want a taxi company that accepts prepaid debit cards.

No such thing here. Sorry. You will need a car to get around.

Haven't you ever heard about "taxi" service?

taxi would likely cost $40-50 per ride the way our area is spread out.

Do you have any clue how much that would cost? I mean to live in Florida relying on Taxis?
Read what Marcopolo said...it looks like that's what they are looking for, and such thing does not exist.

I know there are several guys operating taxi service here. Mostly seniors using them it seems. You call, they come. Cost? I don't know, but if there is no other option its the answer. May turn out cheaper for them than owning or leasing a car.
