Can anyone recommend a good inexpensive company?
I plan on taking ME to my resort from the airport but I'd like to hire a car for my return because dont want to have to be picked up 3 hours before my flight. That would seriously cut into my last day.
FL tours seems a bit pricey.
Anyone know what a taxi costs to the airport from CBR?
 
All you are going to gain by using someone else is 30 minutes or if you are really playing with fire 1 hour.

MCO has had SIGNFICANT issues with the security checkpoints. You MIGHT get lucky and get the "no line" but according to Orlando news sources line waits average between half an hour and 50 mintues. Remember that's the AVERAGE, which means SOME of us are getting the TWO hour wait while others get NO wait... And there is not really a rhyme or reason.

Unless you have paid MCO the $80 fee to be "clear" , I would NOT recommend arriving under two hours in advance under any circumstances, earlier if you have luggage!

As for pricing, FL Tours is comparable to all of them. And if it's TOO cheap, beware... you sometimes get what you pay for.
 
I agree with CarolA. You will not really get yourself much more time at WDW by taking a cab or car service. If you have the option maybe you can switch to a later flight.
A taxi could cost a lot more than a town car with the meter running if you get stuck in traffic. The Orlando airport can be really a nightmare depending on the time of day....although I have read lately that it really doesn't matter what time you get there as it is always busy.
 
Nobody wants to stay as long as they can in WDW more than I do....but, no way would I take a chance with my departing flights. If you use a taxi, cost will be close to what the towncars are, or a towncar, you are still going to need to be picked up about 2-2 1/2 hrs before your flight. It takes 30 minutes to get to MCO, you'll have to go checkin, check your bags, taking about 20 mins, then it could take you and hour, or more, to get through those security lines. Sure, you could be one of the lucky ones and make it through in 45 minutes and be sitting at the gate for 90 minutes...it's happened to me. But, I would much rather be chilling in the gate area, rather than frantically watching the clock, standing in a huge security line, with 25 minutes to my flight departure.
An extra 45 minutes in a park is not worth the aggravation!!!
 

Taxi would cost about $50 before tip. I agree with the others. I have seen too many people running to their gates at the airport. I even saw a family pounding on the jetway door crying that they were going to miss their flight.

If you want to end your Disney vacation with a sprint to the airport spend more time in the parks. I don't think most people want to miss their flight.

You may get lucky and there not be a line but I wouldn't chance it at MCO.
