disabled parking in tamp port

here in miami, parking is free for disabled at the port and the airport.

does anyone know if it is free at the port in tampa?

Tampa port parking garages charge same regardless of handicap status. Inside the garage, the handicap spaces are nearer to the exit, but are limited. For $15 more per cruise you can use the valet parking:at one terminal(mostly RCL and HA) they store your car in open parking and return it to you curbside. At the other (mostly Carnival), your car is stored in the garage across the street. After the cruise, I was given my keys and told where they parked my car.

Not like Miami, is it?

I know this is a very old thread, but the website for the Port of Tampa shows this for disabled parking being free:

Toggle AnswerIs parking free for disabled?

For any vehicle with modifications i.e.:

• Foot Controls
  
• Hand Controls
  
• Extended Pedals
  
• Wheelchair Lift
  
• Wheelchair Ramp
  
• 100% Disabled Veterans
  

This is in the FAQs on the https://www.porttb.com/parking website. I did have to argue with the lady at the booth about my power wheelchair lift on my truck and they didn't let me in until I asked to speak with a manager. Never did hear from a manager, but I think that they are counting on people not knowing their rights and just giving into paying instead of forcing the issue it seems.

Wow - a thread from 6+ years ago! Might be a new record.

Thanks for the update and detailed feedback. Hope you had a great cruise! :cool:
