Longer Wait for Lyft MCO

[Lewisc]

At MCO ride shares generally arrive around 5 minutes after you request one.

My recent trip the wait was 26 minutes. When I requested Lyft the time quoted was 5 minutes. After a driver was assigned it went to 10. The arrival time kept changing. I tried Uber. As soon as I ordered one the time jumped to 10 minutes. I immediately canceled the Uber.

May 27, late morning XL.

People need to know there can be delays

Wow. I waited less than 5 minutes yesterday at 10:30a

Was MCO particularly busy that morning?

I waited less than 3 on 6/2 at approximately 9am. I have seen some issues other places in Orlando where drivers accept the ride, then don't move for a while, forcing you to cancel the ride and book again. Happened to me at CityWalk and heard someone else had the same issue at DS the day before.

I know it's not typical.
It was the day after Memorial Day. Airport appeared to be normal.

The driver who picked up the ride was enroute. The app said he was still the best. Uber showed a 10 minute wait after I tried them.

Maybe a shortage of XLs?

I made the request at 10:38. Pickup was at 11:04.

Definitely factor in I-4. I-4 is NO JOKE.

The vehicle was coming from the South airport entrance.

In hindsight I should have canceled.

Once in a while a driver takes my ride who seems to not understand the airport and zones at various airports. I watch them miss the entrance and go around and around. Even saw one stop for gas after accepting. Rude.

Sometimes the driver is dropping of a pax. Some airports a loop around is required to get to the departures level.

Debating on doing rideshare this trip. varying times aside how was cost?

We'll be landind around 0700-0800 is that a bad time for waiting for ride share?

So this is heavily driver dependent, not really location imo. At my airport at home we watched the driver accept the ride and then proceed to the store. When questioned she said she was getting gas, well that store has no gas. What was quoted as 7 minutes was actually 35.
