Orlando Airport Shuttle And Door-To-Door Transportation

By Jason Davis


When away home, travelers often need find alternative transportation. As a result, there is often a need for an Orlando airport shuttle to local amusement parks, hotels and other locations. While some only serve designated destinations, others can provide door-to-door service. If planning a stay at a local Disney hotel, visitors can often take a free shuttle as part of a package.

If desiring to hire a town car, it is often advised travelers due so in advance. Individuals can hire a driver and town car for a day, an hour, an evening and sometimes even longer. As such, for those on an unlimited budget, a ride can be waiting outside the door at any given time. Visitors opting to use free or low-cost shuttle service may have to travel with others, or make reservations on a first come, first serve basis.

There are always taxis and town cars waiting outside airport terminals. While this is great when arriving at an Orlando, Florida airport, visitors also need rides to other locations. When taking a taxi to the airport, it is important to ask about wait times and allow enough time for traffic and other delays before any scheduled departure. Otherwise, it can be easy to miss a flight due to delays in route or waiting when using cabs.

Lyft and Uber are now good alternatives to traditional taxi cabs in most areas. Users need to keep in mind that while this is the case, there is often surge pricing during rush hours and special events. When booking any car service, it is always important to ask about flat rates, metered rates or increased pricing due to traffic or special events.

Public transportation remains the least expensive mode of transportation in Orlando, Florida and elsewhere. Most people who use public transportation on a regular basis often save a lot of money by not having to drive or park. For those interested in public transportation, stop by a local visitor center to pick up maps, schedule and other information related to city transit systems.

SuperShuttle, a well known service in the United States can take passengers from the airport to a specific address. When desiring to be dropped off at a location other than a hotel, it is important to have the destination address available. In most cases, the shuttle service will already have this information if booked through an easy-to-use online reservation system.

Unlike MCO which operates on a reservation and drop-off basis with multiple passengers and locations, SuperShuttle provides direct door-to-door service. MCO on the other hand runs about half the cost of SuperShuttle since it only serves the airport and local lodging facilities. While shuttle service is definitely more limited, SuperShuttle and MCO do generally serve local youth hostels along with well known hotels, motels and resorts.

Travelers need keep in mind, there are two types of shuttle service, door-to-door and shared. These services can be a great option, especially when riders can make advance reservations. For, while some shuttles operate on a first come, first serve basis, most request travelers make advance reservations to avoid long wait times.
