One way shuttle/transport back from Tampa (Busch)?

Hi,

Huge long shot(!) but thought i'd ask anyway.

We would love to do Busch Gardens in Sept - staying for Howl 'O' Scream in the evening, sleep over and then travel back the next day.

However - we will not have a car.

Mears only do return coaches to the park when travelling back on the same day. I had thought about just turning up the next day and chancing getting on (from past experience their recorded lists aren't always that great anyway) but really don't want to risk being stranded in Tampa.

So I was wondering if anybody knew of any shuttles/transport services etc that would do a one way trip from Tampa to I-Drive.

I have seen a few shared coaches online but the pick up & drop off locations/ times aren't ideal.

So fare I've tried - Greyhound, Megabus, Florida Red Line. Anybody got any other ideas or something completely different that i've perhaps not thought of?

Not tried the Towncar services yet as most seem to be Tampa Airport transfers but imagine if we did find one it would be $$$$.

my OH son did this a few years ago with Mears, he told the driver he would not be on the coach going back that day as he was staying for Howl of Scream and the driver made a note he would be on the next day's coach. Whether they will still do this I don't know.

Thanks for your reply.

If I could guarantee they would do this we'd be laughing. I don't want to get all the way there (with tickets & hotel booked) for them to say no & we're stranded though.
