I'm planning a visit to Tampa next week and was wondering if Uber is permitted at Tampa airport?

That is great to hear because I keep reading where they are ticketing Uber drivers at the airport.

Here is an article from last year. I am thankful they resolved it.

Once the dude running the committee that was trying to ban Uber from coming into Tampa was caught taking some money from the taxi industry and stepped down, Uber has been able to thrive.

Depending where you are going, it may be better to rent a car and drop it off once you get there.

We did that the last time and it was cheaper then an Uber. Of course it depends if you have a rental drop off near by which we have.

I take Uber to and from TPA all the time. Never had a problem getting picked up.

FYI - you may want to check out Lyft as well. I've found that having both helps to ensure getting a quick pick up and sometimes the pricing may be significantly different depending on day and time.

For the life of me I do not understand the appeal of Uber or Lyft.

By the time I pull up the app and order a driver and wait for the driver to show up, I could already be home or wherever I need to be. Every time I have tried to order a driver, whether's it's Chicago or Houston or Tampa, it has taken nearly 30 minutes for a driver to show up. As a business traveler who's on a tight sked, that's 25 more minutes than I am ever willing to wait.

The fastest thing to do, especially at airports, is jump in a cab.
