Frequently Asked Questions

Tampa International Airport (TPA) is the closest commercial airport to Lakeland by road, about 42 miles and 55 minutes without traffic via I-4, I-275 and SR 539. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is next at 55 miles. A hotel and resort shuttle booking can include the airport transfer at each end of the trip, so list the flight numbers when you request a quote.
Yes. Timed loop routes between hotel blocks, convention centers and event venues are a standard hotel shuttle setup. The carrier builds a schedule and route that you can share with guests so they always know when the next bus arrives. Two vehicles running back-to-back keep waits short for larger groups, and loops can run only during peak arrival and departure windows to control cost.
Yes. The Orange County Convention Center and the International Drive hotel corridor in Orlando are among the busiest group shuttle areas in Central Florida, and carriers in the BusBrother network serve hotels and resorts throughout the I-Drive district. Conference shuttles typically run continuous loops between hotel blocks and the convention center around session start and end times.
Stops are easiest to add during planning, when the route and schedule are built around your hotels and venues. Once the route is set, changes can usually be made with about 24 hours notice, depending on the carrier and vehicle availability. Each added stop extends the loop by 15-30 minutes, so the carrier may suggest adding a vehicle to keep wait times short.
