MCO to Poly Mears or Uber?

[starousse928!]

We're a family of 4 (2 teens 16 & 19), flying on Jet Blue. Are we better off just getting an Uber to Poly or to book Mears? I know Jet Blue has a new terminal so not sure on how far it is from the Mears station.

Uber/Lyft will be the fastest/easiest way for sure.

For a family of 4 you would probably be best off with Uber/Lyft. They charge by the car, not by the person like Mears.

It's my understanding (solo traveler who has booked Mears for my upcoming trip) that they have pick-up in Terminal C.

What’s your luggage situation? I travel with 4 adults sometimes, each with a large suitcase, a small carry-on and a personal item. We had trouble with XL rideshares fitting all the luggage and have had luggage in our laps before. After a small carry-on almost went flying from the back (we got it before it hit the person in the middle seat) we switched to private cars. A guaranteed suburban/equivalent holds us and our stuff safely and comfortably (GearFusion is our current choice). Mears bus would take longer but be cheaper. All options will pick you up at Terminal C.

Rideshare should be cheaper compared to MEARS… plus they do have options for if you have a lot of luggage.

Where do we go to get the uber/lyft if we pre book for pickup at MCO?

I'm sure someone can answer this. I've never prebooked....just book while waiting on the right floor (it's clearly marked for rideshare pickup) and never waited more than 5 minutes

What do you do for return to MCO? We're returning from Poly on a Saturday with flight at 6:45pm. Should we pre book that one and what time for pickup? Has anyone had bad experience with either Lyft or Uber not showing up or late? Any traffic issues generally on a Saturday afternoon?

No need to pre-book. There will be plenty of drivers and traffic won't be horrible. Still, I'd plan to leave about 3 hours before flight time.
