Not the average airport transportation.

Hey y'all!!

So my family is growing older, and this will probably be the last time we ever go away as a family of 5 (insert crying face...). I want to make it special for everyone from the moment we touch down, so I'm looking for recommendations on an awesome transportation company that can pick us up at the Orlando airport, and bring us to our hotel. I know about the Minnie Mouse minivan, but being in a minivan isn't very different or "special". I'd love a company that will have a "surprise" waiting for us in the car.


Thank you!!

FL Tours is terrific. Their drivers will meet your family at the baggage claim area.

I don't know about surprises, per se, but on our recent trip we opted to spend a bit more and used the Mears luxury service versus a shuttle or service like Mears connect. This was mostly due to the fact that our arriving flight was due to get in around 11:30 PM (we actually landed shortly after midnight but that's a whole other story), we have a not quite 3 year old and preferred having a car seat, and we wanted to get to the resort as soon as possible. We had also read that it was very hit or miss/be prepared for a longer wait for an Uber with a car seat. The driver texted us to let us know he was in the baggage claim area and had an ipad with our name on it, the car was very nice, the driver polite and friendly. DW and I agreed that we would absolutely consider using that service again.

This is great to hear. We scheduled them for a late night flight later this week. We have three littles.

I think we're booked with Happy Limo, literally my husband booked a limo. He's leery about shared transportation right now and this our "budget, what's a budget?" trip....

An alternative idea could be to have a surprise at your hotel - decorations or a special cake/desert delivered.

A stretch limo would be fun too.
