1. How Lockouts Happen at the Airport

We've seen it all at TPA:

• Keys dropped in the rental return

• Locked inside your own trunk

• Key fobs drained mid-trip

• You flew in from another state and left the spare at home

• Child locked the doors while you were loading bags

And when it happens at Tampa International, time is of the essence.

2. Why Response Time Is Critical at TPA

Airport parking is high-security, high-traffic, and high-stress.

• Hourly parking fees add up quickly

• Security patrols may escalate a forced entry attempt

• You’re mentally drained from flying

• Rental returns or rideshare deadlines can't wait

That’s why we treat airport lockouts as top-priority emergencies.

- Short-Term Parking Garage

4. What to Do While You Wait

Here’s what to do if you're locked out at TPA:

• Stay where you are — text us your exact garage level or pickup zone

• Call or text us immediately for fastest routing
