Can't we just grab a cab at the airport?

Is there really a need to reserve through the various transport companies? Can't we just walk to the curb and grab a cab to RPH? Seems the cost is going to be @100 RT no matter what we do.

We always just grab a cab both ways.

Thanks. I'm assuming you have to call one from the hotel for the trip back?

There are always cabs at the hotel. If you are leaving in the middle of the night, then I would call in advance. The guys outside will do that for you.

Do the cabs in Orlando take credit cards or are they cash only? Thanks!

A car service will give you a flat rate. You won't pay more if there is traffic, an accident or if a driver decides to "long haul" your trip. Many will also give you a free grocery stop. An opportunity to pick up a case of water and some fun food.

At every single airport I've been in (aside from my own lonely Pittsburgh International) there's always a large line of cab cars at the exit.

Is there a list somewhere of the different car services?

There is a transportation sticky in the Universal parks forum and also a complete Disboards forum on transportation. Between those 2 you should find everyting you need to know.

Is grabbing a cab at the airport an option with 5 people? Or would we be stuck with getting 2 cabs? We have always either driven to WDW or flown but had magical express. Spoiled I guess. Thanks!

FL Tours, Murray Hill Transportation, Happy Limo and Tiffany generally get good reviews. Take advantage of a free grocery stop, even if you just buy a case of water.The airport has a list of companies that have permits.

Taxi vans are available, same price. They can definitely fit 5.
