Why Groups in Tampa Choose BusBrother

Should a Tampa group book transfers or a full day?

With 71 miles each way to the nearest major park, a full-day block usually makes sense for a Tampa group, because a drop-off and a separate return pickup would roughly double the driving. BusBrother's published Florida rate guide lists full-day rates of $800-$1,200 for a 15-passenger minibus and $1,200-$2,500 for a 56-passenger motorcoach; the carrier's written quote sets the actual price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Magic Kingdom is about 71 road miles from Tampa, roughly 1 hour 25 minutes without traffic. Universal Studios Florida is about 78 miles away, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes. These are free-flow times from the Tampa city center; park entrances and bus drop-off lanes add time on busy days, so schedule pickups with a buffer and confirm the group drop-off location with the carrier.
Yes. Theme park shuttles pick up from vacation rental homes, villas and resort communities throughout Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport and Clermont. Provide the exact address at booking and mention gated-community access codes or road restrictions, since full-size motorcoaches cannot enter every residential street. If a coach cannot reach the home, the carrier can suggest a nearby meeting point for the group.
For groups of 10 or more, chartering a bus is often less expensive per person than paying for multiple cars to park at theme parks, where parking can run $25 to $30 per vehicle per day. You also save time and avoid the tram ride from distant parking lots. BusBrother's rate guide puts a 56-passenger motorcoach at about $3-$5 per person per hour when the bus is full.
Both options work. For day trips, most groups schedule a return pickup at a set time, or pay for standby so the vehicle stays near the park. For multi-day theme park visits, carriers can arrange daily round-trip shuttles. Share park hours and any fireworks or show times you plan to stay for, so the pickup schedule fits your itinerary and the driver is waiting when you exit.
