Help. After time in WDW(4 days) we will be checking out of the Polynesian and heading to visit family in Tampa area(specifically Indian Shores, FL). We are :
DH, myself, & 3 kids(13,11,&8) so 5 total (w/4-5 pieces of luggage).
Can anyone recommend a public or private transportation company/shuttle or whatever that services that area.
I could rent a car but mid-Feb prices are steep(vacation, Daytona 500, etc) and I don't need a vehicle once I arrive at family in Tampa area. Ideally, it would be great to have car pick us up at POLY after checkout and drive us over to Indian Shores(door to door) or if I had to MagicExpress it back to MCO and get a shuttle that services that area, we could do that too.
I am weighing all the options but don't know who to call - HELP!!
 
There are no drop charges in Florida with major rental companies to rent in one city and drop it in another city. You may not need a car once you're there but you definitely need one (if not a van) to get there and to return to MCO. Consider two 1-day (24 hr) rentals, dropping off and picking up later at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport. I think 2 one-day rentals would cost a LOT LOT less than what a car service would charge.
