Has anyone used Uber from tampa airport to international drive?

Just wondering if anyone has done this as cheap flights but we don’t drive and I’m wondering if it would be possible to get from tampa to Orlando with no car! Thanks

Certainly possible and I'm thinking about if for us from Tampa to Old Key West in July.

You can put the pick-up and destination into the app and get a fare estimate. Depending on your party size and luggage, you'll probably want an Uber XL (and, frankly, I'd just get one anyway for comfort).

Putting in Tampa to Universal, as a guesstimate, currently returns:

Uber - $102
Uber XL - $133
Select - $180

Thanks. I’ve never used Uber so a bit worried no one would pick up the fare with it being quite a distance.

i wouldn't worry about that - the airport runs to and from the popular Orlando tourist destinations are very common of Uber/Lyft drivers (my Uber driver last year for a local fare from LBV to Discovery Cove had come into Orlando from about an hour away on the coast, his previous fare had been to MCO).
