[corpcomp]

He charges one price no matter the number of people And It includes the stop.

Sandisw, I tried to find him on Google and came up with nothing. What is his contact number / official company name please?

I've seen so many good things about this guy on the boards, and I'd love to give him some business, but how is such an apparently successful business so hard to contact? In 2021 hunting down someone's personal cell phone or whatever isn't how I like to do business.

If I'm missing something here, someone please enlighten me,

I think his business must be smaller than other companies, and he wouldn't be able to take care of his customers the way he wants to if he didn't limit them. Essentially he gets customers via word of mouth, such as here and on the Universal resorts forum. I haven't used his services, but the contact information I've gotten from DISboards is phone 407-406-9093 or email aobh607@gmail.com. If we decide to use a limo service for our next visit, I'm going to contact him first.

He is a small business and is pretty much word of mouth! Just love his service!

Interesting. Might be worth giving him a try, thanks.

With Magical Express going away in January what transportation services do people use? also how do they handle children that need car seats? TIA

I use Tony Hinds. His service is great. Although it is bittersweet that he is being mentioned more and more on these boards...he may be harder to book going forward. LOL. But seriously, he is great. He will stop at a Publix on the way as part of his service (and that Publix also has a liquor store in the same parking lot...just sayin). And they will also provide car seats if needed (at no additional charge).

It seems everyone who uses Tony Hinds have nothing but good things to say.

Do you usually tip on top of what he charges?

 

[Sandisw]

Yes, I always do.

 

[DVCSunDevil]

Yes, I always do.

Me too. The tip is for the driver.

In the past we have used Access Line Transportation (black car service). They are very courteous and always on time. They used to be a flat rate but recently raised their rates so it varies by hotel. Looks like ~$200 roundtrip from MCO now depending on resort. We've also used them from Sanford before.

This trip we are going to try Orlando Chauffeured Services. It's out of Sanford this time too and they undercut Access Line by about $75.

Personally I intend to use Mears Connect.
Its essentially paid DME.

Do you know if we are to contact Mears directly? We arrive January 1. Thanks.

 

[Shelleyfs]

You go to the mears transportation web page. We booked Mears for our college student daughter who can only come for a few days. It was really easy to book. You just type the person's info, the flight numbers, and you are all set!

It’s not a very long ride, I use Uber/Lyft and schlep car seats, like any other airport. I will miss DME and the luggage service. You can add stops on an Uber too.

I have a family member in a power wheelchair and that I haven’t figured out yet. I have several months to figure out how people are handling that. DME really was great for the disabled.

 

[Simba's Mom]

The last couple of times, I've used Uber. Unlike DME, they bring me right to Southwest's curb-side check in. Cost is about $35+tip each way.

Thank you SO much! For two people it comes to about the same with Lyft. Lyft right now, not January 1, which may have a higher charge is $37.77 but with tip about $50 but guessing January 1 will be higher. I'm just going to book Mears.
For over two people, I believe Lyft will be less expensive.
Thanks.

I have used Tony Hinds three times now and I love his service. He charges a set fee, no matter number of passengers..not sure if there is a max he can take…but it was recently $140 for the 4 of us, and included a stop at Publix to pick up an order and allowed us to run into the liquor store,

When I go on my own, I’ll do Mears connect…I think...but for two or more, I’ll book him!

is that round trip or each way?

ETA -- nevermind -- I see you answered the question already.

 

[mustinjourney]

You do a preorder via Publix on Universal Blvd. Set it for curbside pick up for about an hour after you land. Then text them when you arrive in the parking lot. It is so nice and easy. We then go into the liquor store that is right there as well.

I am also booked with him for January already!

I might have to look into this. the savings on the instacart markup alone might make it worth it.

I have a feeling all of these fares are going to be going up once DME officially shuts down, since the demand is going to likely skyrocket over what it has normally been.
