Connecticut Delegates/Alternates RNC Hotel Lodging Assignment:

Bilmar Beach Resort, 10650 Gulf Blvd., Treasure Island, FL 33706

We STRONGLY encourage you to lodge at your RNC-assigned hotel.  There are many reasons for doing so, the most important of which is that you can affect great change from within the party while lodging with other Delegates and Alternates from your State.  If you need assistance with funding, please make sure to register for the funding assistance option.

If you ABSOLUTELY will not be able to attend the convention due to prohibitive lodging costs, we are holding specific hotels in Tampa for Delegates, Alternates and their guests.  Transportation from these hotels to the RNC-hotel each morning will be provided for all  who need this option.  The cut-off date for this option is July 23, 2012.  YOU MUST register at the Delegate Sponsor page to receive the private email with the hotel link and passcode.


Hotel Lodging for Paul Fest Attendees & Other Supporters:

If you are staying in Tampa for the weekend of Paul Festival and for the RNC, please visit our Hotel Lodging Page on the Paul Festival website for information about room blocks. In-town transportation WILL be provided for ALL Ronvoy travelers to Paul Festival, Dr. Paul's event on Sunday, August 26th (if it takes place somewhere besides the Fairgrounds), the Veterans March, and events related to the RNC, no matter which hotel you book.


 The Fine Print


What is Paul Festival 2012?
 
Paul Festival 2012 is a weekend long music and liberty festival, with entertainment and activism.  It begins on Friday, August 24, 2012 and ends on Sunday, August 26, 2012.  Paul Festival Tickets are on sale now for those who are arranging their own transportation and lodging separate from the Ronvoys.
 
How are Ronvoy departure dates and times determined?
 
Ronvoy departure dates and times are determined by calculating the length of ACTUAL driving time it takes to get to Tampa from a departure city.  Ronvoys drive STRAIGHT THROUGH to the event city and do not make overnight stops.  However, once all passengers have boarded the Ronvoy vehicle, a Ronvoy has the flexibility to make stops as often as needed.  All Ronvoys are scheduled to arrive in Tampa on the morning of Friday, August 24, 2012 and will depart Tampa to head home on the morning of Friday, August 31, 2012*.
 
*For those coming to Tampa for Paul Festival and the Veterans March only, please visit our National Ronvoy site for route and lodging information.
 
How is the rate for a particular Ronvoy route determined?
 
There is no trick to this.  Revolution Travel Management contracts with various car rental agencies through the nation, including Avis, Budget and others.  We are able to reserve bulk amounts of vehicles at the lowest rate possible.  We divide the total cost of the vehicle, including the rent fee, insurance and tax, by the number of passengers on the vehicle.
 
We then calculate the cost of fuel for the route.  Starting from the original departure city, we determine the total mileage to Tampa and back, adding 500 additional in-town miles for use in Tampa.  We divide that by the miles per gallon of the vehicle (15mpg).  After computing the amount of gallons of fuel required, we multiply that number by $4 per gallon.  We take that total cost of fuel and divide it by the number of passengers per vehicle on the route.
 
We add the per person cost for the vehicle and the per person cost for fuel together to get to the total Ronvoy transportation rate.
 
Note:  Some routes may encounter toll fees.   Travelers are asked to share in the responsibility of paying these fees throughout travel.  Where possible, RTM has coordinated routes avoiding tolls as much as possible, while reasonably coordinating a route that is the most direct route to Tampa.  Please KEEP your receipt and RTM can reimburse you for that additional cost on arrival to the festival.
 
*Yes, we know fuel isn't $4 per gallon EVERYWHERE, but in the major cities it is getting close - we don't want to cut ANY vehicle short of fuel. Any minute amount of fuel money that may be left over is given to the driver who picked up the vehicle, for his dedicated service to the cause of liberty, at the end of the trip.
 
How does the Ronvoy work?
 
The vehicles hold 12 or 15 passengers each, except in the event where we absolutely cannot locate that type of vehicle.  In that case, we utilize 7-passenger vans.  We sell the spots to the number of people per vehicle per route.  Once all the spots on a particular vehicle have been sold on a route, we pay for the vehicle directly from the Revolution Travel Management account with traveler funds.
 
Ronvoy vehicles are driven by volunteer drivers who have also paid for their spot on the route.  Revolution Travel Management transfers the TOTAL amount of money required for fuel for the entire route to the driver in advance of the departure date.  The driver agrees to be responsible for picking up the vehicle at the correct time and to travel the route as required to pick up all travelers who have been assigned to his or her vehicle.  The driver communicates with his Ronvoy route coordinator (the volunteer who is organizing the passengers into vehicles for that route) regarding specific pickup locations in each city.
 
How does In-Town Transportation Work?
 
Travelers may be assigned to any vehicle for the trip down to Tampa (Please note during the registration process if you are specifically traveling with other travelers so we can be sure to assign you to the same vehicle for the trip down).
 
Driver Information:
Qualified Drivers are required for every Ronvoy route vehicle.  A qualified driver will be at least 25 years of age, with a valid drivers license.  THE DRIVER WHO PICKS UP THE VEHICLE IN THE ORIGINAL DEPARTURE CITY RECEIVES FREE 3-DAY PASS TO PAUL FESTIVAL.

If ticket purchaser will be a driver and is qualified, please indicate so on registration form when paying for Ronvoy ticket.  Drivers picking up vehicles in the original departure city will be refunded for the amount of your 3-day Paul Festival pass ($77 refund) once confirmed as a driver from the original departure city.


If ticket purchaser will be a driver and is qualified, please indicate so on registration form when paying for ticket.  Drivers are responsible for ensuring timely and safe travel for all passengers.  Revolution Travel Management does not require a DMV check, however the vehicle companies we contract through may do so at vehicle pick-up.

Drivers are responsible for communicating with the Ronvoy coordinator with any unanticipated changes throughout travel.

IMPORTANT:  ALL drivers are asked to volunteer IN TAMPA for various transportation needs over the weekend of Paul Festival and the week of the RNC.  Volunteer drivers will be utilized to transport talent to and from their lodging locations in Tampa during Paul Festival.  We ask that drivers take the responsibility very seriously and understand the commitment you are making before volunteering to be a driver.  Please DO NOT volunteer to be a driver IN TAMPA if you cannot fulfill your commitment completely.

For more information on being a driver, please don't hesitate to contact the Ronvoy team at 407-4RONVOY | 407-476-6869 or email.


Traveler Information:

Drivers will be provided with all confirmed and paid traveler's contact information.  Driver information will be provided to all travelers.  It is the traveler's responsibility to contact the driver directly with any questions or concerns regarding travel.

It is the traveler's sole responsibility to arrive at the departure location on time in the pick-up city, as well as at the departure location for transportation provided in Tampa.  Travelers are encouraged to arrive at least thirty minutes early for departure.  Travelers are expected to communicate with the driver on issues regarding schedule.  Drivers will be in contact with travelers to confirm departure location and estimated arrival time.

There are NO REFUNDS for being late/missing the departure of the Ronvoy from your departure city.  It is ABSOLUTELY in the best interest of the traveler to be in contact with your driver regularly.  Unless route is cancelled due to low participation, all sales are FINAL.


Vehicle Information:

Vehicles are 7, 12 and 15 passenger vans - NOT buses.  RTM utilizes passenger vans for several reasons:

1. This allows travelers to be flexible in their travel - stop to eat, use the restroom, stretch at leisure.

2. This allows travelers to have transportation to and from all the events in Tampa.

3. Rather than using personal vehicles, we utilize rental vehicles so that in the event of mechanical error, travelers are ensured that the company will get them back on the road.


Luggage/Camping Equipment: Luggage space WILL BE LIMITED!  For those travelers who are tent camping, every traveler in your vehicle is tent camping, so please try to consolidate your equipment as much as possible, i.e. roll your tent inside your sleeping bag if possible.  Please be courteous to your fellow liberty-loving travelers.  


Lodging Information:

DELEGATES/ALTERNATES:  Because the RNC requires secure transportation for Delegates/Alternates to the convention, make every effort to lodge at your RNC-assigned hotel for the convention dates, from Sunday, August 26 - Thursday, August 30, 2012.  Please make your lodging reservations for these dates separately through your State GOP lodging coordinator.  We will do EVERYTHING we can to assist you in funding for the exhorbitant costs associated with your lodging during the convention.  Donations are already coming in to reimburse you as much as possible for your costs*.

*If you ABSOLUTELY cannot afford to attend the convention without funding assistance, PLEASE CONTACT SUSAN WOLFE DIRECTLY AT 424-254-8911.

Your Ronvoy driver will also be a Delegate/Alternate in order to coordinate in-town transportation more efficiently.  If you are a Delegate/Alternate, and you will volunteer to drive one of your State's Ronvoy vehicles to Tampa, please indicate this during registration.

 

PAUL FEST ATTENDEES & OTHER SUPPORTERS staying for the duration of the RNC:

Efforts have been made to find the least expensive hotel lodging available in the Tampa area.  Hotels may be as much as 30 miles from Tampa.  Discounted rates have been pre-determined through the hotels we are working with.  We are working diligently to get all of the hotels on the Hotel Lodging Page on the Paul Festival website.  If you need assistance with booking your hotel, or if you have special requests such as floor location or smoking preference, please communicate that to your lodging location.

 

Payment Information:

PayPal payments are preferred, however you may also pay by check or money order.
