A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Navigating Tampa International Airport (TPA) with a Group
Tampa International Airport is the primary gateway for travelers in Brandon. Located approximately 18 miles west of Brandon via the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway or I-4, TPA is consistently rated one of the best airports in the country for convenience. However, “convenient” for a solo traveler doesn’t always mean convenient for a group of 50. Coordinating multiple cars in the garage or trying to meet up at baggage claim can be chaotic.
When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Brandon, we simplify the TPA experience. For departures, your driver will pick your group up from your designated location in Brandon—whether that’s a church in Bloomingdale, a corporate office off State Road 60, or a residential community in Valrico. You’ll enjoy a climate-controlled ride directly to the curbside departures level (Ticketing Level). We can drop off at either the Red or Blue sides depending on your airline, ensuring your group steps off the bus just feet from the check-in counters.
For arrivals, TPA has designated commercial vehicle lanes. We actively track your flight status. If your flight is delayed coming in, we adjust our schedule so you aren’t left waiting or paying for idle time. Once you land and gather your bags at the main terminal, your group will proceed to the designated commercial ground transportation quad. Your driver will be waiting there, ready to load luggage into the undercarriage bays while you settle into reclining seats for the ride back to Brandon. No hauling bags to the rental car center or waiting for the monorail—just a direct, comfortable transfer.

Shuttle Services to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE)
For groups looking for budget-friendly flight options, St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) is a popular choice, serving many charter flights and carriers like Allegiant. Located across the bay, PIE is roughly a 25 to 35-mile drive from Brandon, depending on your starting point. The drive involves crossing the Howard Frankland Bridge or the Gandy Bridge, both of which can be unpredictable regarding traffic.
Choosing Charter Bus Rental Company Brandon for your PIE transfer eliminates the anxiety of bridge traffic. The drivers know the traffic patterns of Tampa Bay inside and out. We ensure your group leaves Brandon with plenty of buffer time. Because PIE is a smaller terminal, curbside space is at a premium. The drivers coordinate closely with airport ground traffic control to swoop in for pickups and drop-offs efficiently.
This service is particularly popular for wedding parties or sports teams flying in for events in Pinellas County but staying in the more affordable or centrally located Brandon area. Instead of splitting up into five or six different taxis, you keep the team camaraderie alive on a single minibus, complete with overhead storage for carry-ons and plenty of legroom.

Long-Distance Transfers to Orlando International Airport (MCO)
Sometimes, the flight you need isn’t available in Tampa, or the fares out of Orlando are simply too good to pass up. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is one of the busiest airports in the world and is located about 75 miles from Brandon. The drive along I-4 can be daunting, often taking anywhere from 75 minutes to over two hours depending on construction and tourist traffic.
Charter Bus Rental Company Brandon offers a premium long-distance airport transfer service to MCO. Why put miles on your personal vehicles and pay hefty long-term parking fees in Orlando when you can relax? For corporate groups or large families heading to MCO, our full-size charter buses turn the commute into a mobile lounge. You can use the onboard WiFi to finish up work, watch a movie on the flat-screen monitors, or simply nap in our plush seating.
We handle the logistics of MCO’s distinct A, B, and C terminals. The drivers are familiar with the commercial lanes on the Ground Transportation Level (Level 1), ensuring that even in the hustle and bustle of Orlando’s massive airport, your group stays together and gets loaded up quickly.

Private Aviation and Executive Airport Transfers
Not every group flies commercials. For corporate executives, private tour groups, or VIPs utilizing private aviation, Charter Bus Rental Company Brandon offers discreet and professional transfers to local executive airports. The closest general aviation hub to us is Tampa Executive Airport (VDF), located just minutes from the heart of Brandon near the I-4/I-75 interchange.
When flying privately, you expect a higher level of service on the ground. We can arrange for our executive minibuses or sprinter vans to meet your aircraft on the tarmac (where security protocols permit) or wait just outside the FBO (Fixed Base Operator) entrance. This allows for a seamless transition from air to road. We also service Peter O. Knight Airport (TPF) on Davis Islands and Plant City Airport (PCM).
Our executive shuttles feature sleek interiors, tinted windows for privacy, and charging ports, ensuring your VIPs can continue business as usual the moment they land. We understand that private flight schedules can change at a moment's notice, and our 24/7 dispatch team remains flexible to accommodate earlier arrivals or weather delays.

Why Choose a Charter Bus for Airport Travel in Brandon?
You might be wondering if a charter bus is the right choice for your specific group. The answer usually comes down to three factors: cost, convenience, and cohesion. Rideshare apps are unpredictable; getting an UberXL from Brandon to TPA during rush hour can cost upwards of $60-$80 one way, and you might need four or five of them for a mid-sized group. That cost adds up fast, and there is no guarantee the cars will be available when you need them.
With Charter Bus Rental Company Brandon, you get a fixed price. You know exactly what the transportation will cost upfront, making budgeting for corporate trips or family vacations much easier. Furthermore, we offer luggage capacity that standard vehicles simply cannot match. A 56-passenger motorcoach has massive undercarriage bays designed to hold a suitcase for every passenger, plus golf clubs, musical instruments, or trade show equipment.
Most importantly, traveling by bus keeps the group together. If you are a sports coach, this means you don’t have to worry about the goalie getting lost in traffic. If you are a corporate planner, it means you can conduct a briefing on the way to the terminal. We transform travel time from a logistical headache into a shared experience.
Group Luggage Solutions and Onboard Amenities
One of the biggest pain points of airport travel is luggage. Whether you are a band traveling with instruments, a golf group heading to a resort, or a family with strollers and car seats, space is always an issue in personal vehicles. At Charter Bus Rental Company Brandon, our fleet is designed to handle heavy loads.
Our full-size charter buses feature expansive under-floor luggage compartments that can easily accommodate large suitcases and specialized gear. Inside the cabin, overhead bins (similar to those on an airplane) provide convenient storage for backpacks, purses, and laptop bags, keeping the aisle clear and your legroom unobstructed.
Beyond storage, the ride itself is superior. Why drain your phone battery navigating GPS? Our buses come equipped with power outlets and USB ports at your seat. Need to check flight status or send a last-minute email? Use our onboard WiFi. On larger buses, we also offer onboard restrooms, which is a lifesaver, especially on the longer treks to Orlando or during unexpected traffic jams on I-75. We ensure that the journey to the airport is as comfortable as the flight itself—if not more so!
Planning Your Ride: Timing and Traffic Considerations in Brandon
Brandon is a fantastic place to live and visit, but locals know that traffic on State Road 60 (Brandon Boulevard) and the I-75 interchanges can be heavy. When booking an airport shuttle, timing is everything. At Charter Bus Rental Company Brandon, we don’t just drive; we plan.
We recommend building in a buffer. For domestic flights out of TPA, we generally suggest arriving 2 hours early. For international flights, 3 hours. However, we also calculate the “Brandon factor.” If your flight is at 5:00 PM on a Friday, we know that the rush hour traffic heading toward Tampa starts building as early as 3:00 PM. We will work with you to determine a pickup time that accounts for potential slowdowns on the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway or Providence Road.
We also utilize SunPass on all our vehicles, allowing us to take advantage of the express lanes on the Selmon Expressway to bypass local traffic lights and congestion, shaving valuable minutes off your commute to TPA or downtown Tampa.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brandon Airport Transportation
How much does an airport charter bus rental cost in Brandon?
The cost varies based on the size of the bus, the distance to the airport, and the duration of the rental. A transfer to TPA will generally cost less than a transfer to Orlando (MCO) due to mileage. We offer flat-rate transfer pricing as well as hourly rates depending on your needs. Call us at 239-932-0858 for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific itinerary.
Where will the bus pick us up in Brandon?
We can pick your group up at almost any location that can safely accommodate a large vehicle. Common pickup spots include hotel parking lots, corporate office buildings, school campuses, church parking lots, or even large residential driveways. If you are in a gated community or a location with tight streets, we may arrange a nearby meeting point (like a shopping center lot) to ensure the bus can maneuver safely.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We monitor flight statuses for all airport pickups. If your flight is delayed, we adjust the driver’s schedule accordingly. You will not be left stranded. We ask that you provide your flight number when booking so our dispatch team can track your arrival in real-time.
How much luggage can we bring?
On a standard 56-passenger charter bus, there is typically room for one large suitcase and one carry-on item per passenger. If you have excessive luggage (such as band equipment, film gear, or large sports equipment), please let us know at the time of booking so we can ensure we provide a bus with maximum undercarriage storage capacity.
Can the bus make multiple stops for pickups?
Absolutely. If you need to pick up part of your group in Riverview and another part in Brandon before heading to the airport, we can build that into your itinerary. Just keep in mind that additional stops may add time to the schedule, so we will need to plan the departure time accordingly to ensure you make your flight.
