Family of 5 - Airport Transport Options?

[blam84]

(I have seen posts about airport transport, but most people responding are parties of one or two. So I thought I would post)

We are a family of 5 needing transport from MCO-Beach Club and back. We have taken Uber/Lyft before in other cities. Curious what the most cost effective AND reliable options are?

Thanks for the help!

We're a family of five, and by far the most economical (and fastest!) option is using Uber. We've used Mears, private towncar transport, etc. in the past, but nothing is as easy and cost effective as Uber. We do have to get an Uber XL because there are five of us, but we get dropped off directly at the resort and don't have to stop at multiple properties like we did with Mears. We've never waited more than a minute or two for a car. It's definitely our method of choice!

Another family of 5 here: it's Lyft for us because one of our credit cards gets 10x points for them, but either ride share service should work. We've always had good luck with getting clean, spacious mini van or large SUV pick ups when we're around WDW.

Do you both book ahead or wait until you arrive at MCO?

I wait until arrival because you never know about delays, how long your bags will take, etc.

It's such a heavy traffic tourist area that there is generally excellent driver availability.

Even for one person, Uber/Lyft will be the most economical AND fastest option.

I always book after I’ve collected my luggage and am standing at the curb. Others prefer to book sometime before that. And “reserved” fares will nearly always cost more, because if the fare is significantly more at the time of pick-up, the driver will cancel. I’ve had this happen to me on several occasions, including once where I missed a flight (the ride was to the airport) after the driver cancelled late.

We use L&L Luxury Transportation - Luis is amazing!! Not sure if I can post the link here.

Tell him LeiLani referred you! No, I don't get a kickback but Luis will know me, he has been amazing for all of our trips. If he is unavailable he will set us up with another driver and all of the ones we have had including Luis have been awesome.

If you need more information PM me.

Are you 5 adults or a mix of adults and little people who are ineffective at carrying their own luggage?

If you're all adults, Uber/lyft will probably work, if you're a mix of adults/kids, I would go to the car service route. Having the extra set of hands available to help with the luggage is beyond helpful for us.
