3-Point Transfer ???

[3MinnieMom]

We are a family of 5 (me, DH, and 3 DDs), and we are going to add a few days at Universal Studios before our Disney Cruise in November. I need some advice on arranging a 3-Point Transfer (Happy Limo, Tiffany TownCar, etc) from Orlando International Airport to HRH at Universal; then(3 days later) from HRH, Universal Studios to Port Canaveral; then from Port Canaveral (at the end of our cruise) to Orlando Int Airport.

Would using a Towncar service be our best option? Should we possibly take a towncar or Mears round-trip from the airport to HRH and back to the airport (3 days later) and pick-up Disney transfer round-trip to Port Canaveral? How about a rental car?

Any suggestions/advice would be welcome. Thanks so much!!

I emailed www.yourride.net about a 3 or more point transfer and they were very reasonable and I have heard lots of good things about them.

We needed a van because there was 7 of us so keep that in mind. I needed them to pick up 5 of us at airport and take us to Beach club where 2 were waiting for us. 2 days later, take us to port,then port to Beach club, then Beach Club to port. I think it was $225 for all of that in a van for up to 10 people.

You can try to price it looking at their chart, but I just emailed them our plans or you could call them.

We've used Happy Limo for various three-point tranfers (cruise & Discovery Cove, cruise & Downtown Disney, cruise & Universal), and it has worked out very well. The cost is very reasonable compared to Mears. I would stick with a towncar or limo rather than the shuttle. It's a nice way to be able to spend some extra time in the area.

We are planning exactly this same type of trips in October.

We're planning on using Tiffany Towncar from MCO to Universal's Royal Pacific Resort then to the Port then back to MCO after the cruise. We're using Tiffany mostly because we have used them in the past and the Passporter book has a $15 discount coupon in it for rountrip to Port Canaveral on Tiffany. I think the towncar service is the best way to go for this kind of trip.

I'm sure the other townca/limo services that most people herre talk about are fine as well. In fact, we have had the owner of Yourride as a driver previously and he is fantastic!

Thanks for the great advice. It sounds best to e-mail or call one of the towncar services with our specific 3-point request. Do they give a quote for the entire trip? Also, which towncar services will stop at a grocery store on the way to the port?

I think most of them offer a grocery stop. I know Your Ride's offer included a stop. That price was for the whole trip.

Yes, the towncar people should give you a total for the entire trip. They should also be able to break it down by each leg. For our trip this October we were quoted $205 from MCO to Universal's Royal Pacific Resort (RPR), RPR to Port, Port back to MCO.

I do believe most of the towncar/limo services will do a grocery stop for you. Usually just require that you let them know when you make your reservation so they can plan for it.

I purchased the Passporter field guide to DCL and i in there is a $15 off coupon for Tiffany Towncar for roundtrips to the port. That works fine for us I believe.

We did this itinerary when we cruised last year, but what we did was pick up a rental car, then had Happy Limo pick us up at Hetz then after the cruise they dropped us off at Hetz where we picked up another car. So it was only one round-trip with the towncar and the rest we drove ourselves around. We always like the freedom of having our own car when we're in Florida.
