Car service for family of 5?

[DizMom11]

We are 1 adult, and 4 kids 13, 10, 9, 7. I originally booked with Happy Limo who said we would have to go bigger then a town car, which meant around $200 (including gratuity and fees) round trip MCO-Poly with a Ford Excursion. I then called Prestige who quoted me $85 including tax but not tip. They said they could "squeeze" us all into a town car. Does anyone have experience with a family of 5 safely traveling in a town car?

We don't even go for 4 in a towncar. It is about a half hour drive to and from the airport. Even if your kids are skinny, I would not want to be squished for that long. Try for a van with a towncar company. Those usually run about $10 more each way. Personally, I use Cartier Towncar which run about $110 before tips for r/t to Disney resorts.

This would give you the extra room (and prevent a major headache of attempting to squeeze all your stuff into a towncar, not to mention the people!)

We opted for a van with Tiffany Towncar, when the kids were smaller, and we had strollers, carseats, etc. Not as fancy as a towncar, but still nice.

Like the previous post- It's about $10.00 more, but you wouldn't have to worry about sqeezing in, and gettin luggage in.

For our family of 5 we use Tiffany towncar and request the van with Berkley Edwards for the driver. We had the towncar once, the first time, I honestly didnt know what it was, something like a lincoln towncar. I wasnt trying to be cheap, I just didnt know how small it was. Little ds ended up on our laps in the back seat being passed around with no seatbelt. Not a good situation. When we got to the hotel, I called and requested a van for the trip back. Problem solved. Good luck.

We are a family of five and I totally agree with the above. Go with the van. Very comfortable, and more importantly can fit all the luggage. Tiffany was great.

We just returned and Tiffany was great in the van. It was only 10 more per R/t not each way. I would also recommend asking for Berkley Edwards. what a nice guy. Don't forget the $5.00 coupon on the website of www.tiffanytowncar.com. It will pay for half of the upgrade to the van! Very clean van and like I said, Berkley was great.

We too are a family of 5...two adults and three kids ages, 14, 11 and 6. We just got back about 10 days ago. A friend told me about this service...she goes twice a year and has used BOB or Roger for several trips. She recommended them. They used to work for Tiffany and one other place for years and then opened their own service last summer. We were very impressed.....it cost us 77 roundtrip using the coupon from the site link I sent to you above. I paid the extra 10 bucks for the grocery stop. We had BOB....he was waiting for us at the bottom of the esculator headed to the baggage claim....he had our last name on a card. He was sooooooooo nice...so professional and we would use him every time.......and recommend him to people.
