Before my trip I checked these boards as I considered private transportation from MCO to our resort.
In past trips I had taken a taxi (that charged me for air conditioning) and a Lyft (but hit surge pricing and it was $$$). I am comfortable walking out to grab a taxi or rideshare and I didn't need a car seat, or help with my luggage. Should I get a private transportation?
YES
I reviewed some companies recommended here and went with Gearfusion. They had the best cost but seemed like a smaller company. I could not understand the reason to pay $20-$40 for what appeared to be the same service. But, this was all new to me. So, I rolled the dice and tried it out.
We loved it.
They communicated perfectly, from reservation all the way to meeting at baggage claim. Emails and text messages. They were very easy to communicate with. My party of two was met at baggage claim, walked out a nearby back exit away from all the ride share taxi mayhem, picked up in a large van, parked in the shade and already nice and cool. This was great since it was over 90 degrees that day! Our driver was friendly and helpful, but not so much that we felt like we had to hold a full conversation for 30+ minutes.
I was unsure what to do for our trip back to the airport and did not reserve in advance. Also, our departure day plans went through many modifications through the week! As late as the night before, we decided to hang at the resort, swim, have lunch, and depart from our home resort. I contacted Gearfusion via Facebook, got an immediate response, and they arranged to pick us up at 1:30pm the next day. I'm not sure if they can always accomodate on that short of notice, but the customer service for us was above and beyond.
Highly recommend Gearfusion!
