If you are flying into Tampa or Clearwater airports, you might consider renting a car. There are several car rental companies who offer very low rates for the weekends. It may be less expensive to rent a vehicle versus paying for taxis or shuttles. This would also give you an option to visit some of the beaches and sights in the Tampa Bay Community. Clearwater Beach is only 10 minutes away from the Biltmore.

In general, we have found that booking your rental online is less expensive than calling the car rental agency. Also, you might try priceline (online). The rental fees are non-refundable but you can save money.
