MCO Towncar Recommendation - The DIS Discussion Forums

Gedd · 12-03-2012, 11:12 AM

My wife and I are headed to Universal Orlando this weekend. We have the trip all setup, just trying to finalize our transportation to/from the airport. I've used Mears in the past for all my Disney trips, but our time is pretty short this weekend, so we don't want to deal with losing time waiting on shuttles, multiple stops, etc.

I did a search here and seen a lot of references to Tiffany towncar, but some of the experiences seem mixed (I see a recent management change mentioned somewhat frequently), and Yelp seems to agree. I did some searching around, and also found one site (***************) mentioning Orlando Airport Towncar Service as a great option. Yelp reviews are all 5-star, but there's only 6 or 7 of them. Those two sites also seem to be the only places that have reviewed them as well (there's no mention of them here).

Has anyone used either Orlando Airport Towncar Service or Tiffany recently that could say good or bad about their experience? Or any other companies that you'd recommend?

I just used Tiffany for the second year in a row on November 9th and 17th to the Polynesian and back.

They were wonderful! I had no problems booking them. They showed up early and both drivers where very nice.

I would use them again in the future.

I hope this helps.

I used Tiffany 2 years ago and had no complaints, and I have engaged them again for this year, and they have been accommodating and courteous so far.

I used Florida Tours to Universal over Thanksgiving and the service was great. Took advantage of the 30 minute grocery stop, the driver was courteous and the car was spotless. On the return the driver was already outside when we headed out - about 10 minutes early

I used Tiffany 3 times this past year. No "mixed" results at all. They were great. One of my trips I was a couple of hours late due to a delayed flight. No problem, they had tracked my flight and were waiting for me when I arrived.

Thanks again everyone for the recommendations. We booked with Tiffany and had a great experience. Our driver was courteous, prompt, and very friendly. It was also nice being able to stop quickly at the local Publix to pick up water and snacks at regular prices instead of the usual high markup in the parks/hotels.
