Transportation

Question

Last year I was so lucky to find a woman who I think is named Jeanie for pick ups from Tampa and Sarasota to AMI. She is a former airline person. Drives a red car and dog friendly. I lost her contact info and would love to book her for my guests. Anyone know who I’m talking about??

Thanks

Answer

It sounds like you are looking for a very specific private transportation service to Anna Maria Island from Tampa or Sarasota, run by an individual named Jeanie who drives a red car and is dog-friendly. Unfortunately, without a full name or business name, it’s challenging to confirm her directly.

Here are some steps and alternatives you might consider:

Check your email, phone contacts, or past messages from last year—you may have a record of the booking confirmation or phone number.
Post on local Anna Maria Island Facebook groups or community forums. Residents often know local private drivers and can identify individuals from descriptions like “Jeanie, red car, dog-friendly.”
Consider local private shuttle and car services that operate between Tampa/Sarasota airports and AMI. While not the same person, they often have personalized service and can accommodate pets:

AMI Private Shuttle Services
Anna Maria Island Car Services
Sarasota to AMI private drivers

If you have any photos or prior booking references, sharing those in local groups can help track her down.

In the meantime, if Jeanie cannot be found, booking a reputable local shuttle or private car service ensures your guests have a safe and reliable trip to Anna Maria Island. Many of these services can be arranged to be dog-friendly if requested in advance.

Best approach: combine local social media inquiries with checking for licensed private car services to either locate Jeanie or have a backup plan ready.
