Are BIG taxi's readily available at MCO?

[andrews_dad]

In order to save a bundle of money on car rentals, I am considering catching a taxi to teh condo and using a non-airport rental location the next day (non-airport not open the day/time I land). The only hang-up is that I'd need a cab big enough to hold 2 adults, 2 car seats, a double jog stroller, 2 large pieces of luggage. A car ain't gonna cut it. A mini-van would, I'd think. Do they have mini-van or full-size van taxi's readily available? I got a quote from Mears on a airport transport and they said $150 one way in a luxury SUV (would drop car at MCO for no extra charge so only need one way). I need to get to Windsor Hills from MCO. 25 miles according to mapquest. What would that trip cost me in a mini-van taxi .. $50-60 maybe?

Mears also has a taxi fare estimator: see the "Popular Transportation Links" sticky near the top of this forum.

Yes, there ARE taxi vans that will easily accommodate your party and belongings. Usually at the taxi stand at the airport, you get the next cab in line - but it'll be obvious to the dispatcher you won't all fit in a sedan. I don't know if he/she will pull a van out of line for you, or if you'll have to wait for one to get to the front of the line. Either way, you shouldn't need to wait long.
