Best and cheapest town car from airport

[BobbiG]

What is the best and cheapest town car transporation company to use from the airport to bwv? I'm close to the single digits....yahoo!!!!

I'm not sure you can actually get both "best" and "cheapest" This normally does not happen - as in the old saying you get what you pay for!

We have always preferred to use FL Tours for our transportation. Andy is a wonderful guy who will see to it you are taken care of.

FL Tours is the official transportation company of the DIS and by using them we are supporting these boards. I know that I would be lost when it comes to my Disney planning without these boards.

Go to www.fltours.com/reservations.htm and fill out a request, you will see pricing before you ever have to submit the request for a reservation

Or use the link you will find at the top of any page on this transportation forum.

I have used both Tifffany Town Car and Cartier Town Car, they both charge about the same price, their service has been good. They are both cheaper than FL Tours. We will need a van this trip because there are 7 of us and FL Tours prices are about $15.00 higher than Tiffany and Cartier.
I used Cartier in Sept because they had the best rates at the time, I am using Tiffany this trip because I have the passporter book which has a $8.00 coupon for Tiffany.

How about from Sanford Airport? Any suggestions? How much farther is it than MCO?

I also need to know, landing in Sanford in Aug.

Sanford airport is about 25 minutes farther than the Orlando airport. Towncars run from around 130-160 round trip, plus tax. We have got the cheapest price so far from HappyLimo $166 with taxes and gratuity. I emailed a bunch of towncar providers last week and got prices.

Thanks Prince Eric, such a gentleman! (LOL!!!) Thanks for the info. I've used Happy Limo before and have been very pleased.

BEWARE, you get what you pay for, if you are only going by the cheapest price, don't expect a quality service. We've seen those old beat up cars with smelly drivers, unexperienced chauffuers, etc. There are companies that will hire any warm body they can find, to work for the cheap money they pay them. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

I don't think we can say anyone is the "OFFICIAL" transportation disney has no contracts out with anyone to provide exclusive transportation, i have checked, i like tiffany town car, but i am sure any service can provide what you need. What i don't like are companies that bad mouth other companies when you call to get information. Good luck

We had talked to Happy Limo about Sanford once, as PanAm used to offer flights from Gary, Indiana to Sanford. We were considering giving them a try, and Happy Limo said it would be no problem, but the flight times were too limited so we never did. But Happy Limo has given us great service whenever we've used them from Orlando International.

We used Tiffany last week and Cartier in October. We had a bad experience with Cartier (they were half an hour late picking us up - and we got to the airport without a lot of space to catch our flight - they were boarding when we reached the gate. Then they blamed us and said they were there to pick us up be we weren't - we were there early. Our airport pickup didn't go well either - as the driver was obviously booked tight and was ready to leave before we hit baggage claim - and we need a grocery stop).

Talking with the Tiffany driver about our previous experience, he said Cartier only has about six cars and Tiffany has about thirty. Which means that if there are delays or problems in Cartiers schedule and they are booked solid - the delays have a higher chance of impacting you. Tiffany has gotten to some sort of critical mass with cars - chances are someone can be rerouted if the driver assigned to you gets delayed. Made sense to me, and I'll probably avoid very small towncar companies. I like giving business to the small guy (and I'm not planning on giving it to Mears), but I'm pretty sure our problems with Cartier had more to do with them being overbooked and rushed than real incompetence.

Thanks for all the info and good advice...we're almost there!

We have used ********.net and been very happy with the service they have provided. They have reasonable rates and we got a grocery stop. I would recommed ********.

We used Lorden Transportation in November and they were terrific! We landed in Kissimmee airport via a private company plane and were worried b/c this isn't as traveled as the other airports. But the driver was there waiting on us- we were about 30 minutes late! Very nice limo - very clean- and excellent drivers. Dennis was at the hotel early to pick us up also. We had excellent communication with the owner, dennis, throughout! I was very pleased and if we ever fly will definitely use them agian! I checked with several companies and the prices were close to the same with most of them.
