How easy is it to use Uber at MCO?

[StarLime]

I am somewhat of an Uber novice. Only used it a handful of times years ago, and never have I used one at an airport. Is it easy to use Uber at MCO?

I am planning on ordering one as soon as I get my luggage from baggage claim. Do they pull up right outside of baggage claim, or is there a dedicated area I have to walk to after I get my bags?

It's very easy. There are signs telling you which doors to go out at baggage to wait for your ride share.

As aokeefe said, it's easy. IIRC, we met ours right outside the Delta baggage carousels.

They will pull up to the extreme ends of either Baggage Claim area. There will be signs that say Rideshare Pickup.

So I have never used an uber, they simply don't exist in my neck of the woods.

How do I know which one would be for me? Do I go door to door asking? Am I given info on the app?

I'm nervous using this for the first time day one out of the gate lol

They will give you the driver’s name and a photo of the driver, the make, model, and color of the car, and the license plate number.

Used it in early April. Extremely easy. Get the app on your phone and get it all set up first. Familiarize with the buttons and setup.

Like said above, follow signs for Ride Share Pickup on either end where you get baggage.

The app will tell you who accepted your ride request, name/photo of driver/ratings/type of car/license plate. Always make sure it's the right car.
It will tell you the cost ahead of time and will also give you a map showing you where the car is and how many minutes away.

We used it to and from MCO as well as while on property once.

How long is it from ordering the UBER to it turning up do you think? 10mins?, half an hour?

It depends on what time you order it, but probably more like 10 minutes.

Also, I wanted to add to where they pick you up. Last trip, I waited at the far end of the area for my Uber and the app said the car had arrived but I had no idea where it was, since it wasn't where it was supposed to be. It was, instead several car lengths ahead of the designated pickup spot. So be aware of that possibility.

it was so easy, did it in February, waited like 5-10 minutes and off we went. The Uber driver will also know your name so just ask who the car is for.

Who pays the tolls on the way from the airport to your resort? Is it included in the price?

They are included in the price. The driver pays them and Uber reimburses the driver.

Would that be the same for the private drivers such as Tiffany town cars?

Yes.
