Orland Car Services Reviews? Or Lyft?

[mommy2paisley]

Hello! My daughter and future sil are going to Disney for their honeymoon, and are on a very tight budget. They found a deal on Orlando Car Services, but I searched on here and couldn’t find anything about them. Anyone use them? Or would they better off to use Lyft? Anyone know around what Lyft in June on a Monday would cost?

Since Lyft uses variable pricing it's hard to say what it would cost. Depends on time of day, type of car/ride, where you're going, etc.

You can go into the Lyft app to see what the cost would be for a ride (you can also use the 'schedule ahead' feature but just not book
the ride).

A ride share will be cheaper. If they don't currently have an account set up for either Uber or Lyft, have them wait until a few days before their trip to sign up. Both services usually offer discounts on rides for new customers. Generally, the discount is only good for a certain amount of time after signing up, so that is why I advise to wait until about 4 or 5 days before they depart. In Orlando, Lyft tends to be less than Uber, but if they have both, check both before deciding what one to use.

If they’re on a tight budget, as you say, then rideshare will be much more cost effective. I’d only recommend a car service if someone wanted to treat them to it as a wedding gift.

I tried to do that! But at the end it told me you can’t schedule ahead for MCO pickup, and then wouldn’t show me anything else. So I was just wondering a general guess….like $50, $20, $100. I have no clue what Lyft cost, as we don’t use it in our area.

My last few Lyfts to and from the airport were all between $30 and $40. For two people, I think it's the perfect transportation method for WDW.

You did it wrong. You don't select schedule, just start typing where you want to go and adjust the pickup when you get to the next stage and you'll see current prices which can give you an estimate. (Your daughter/SIL should be able to do this, most anyone under 35 can do anything rideshare related as easy as breathing.)

Rideshare will be much cheaper for 2 than private transfer. Mears shared bus is considered the cheapest but with 2 people it's rather a wash so not worth the extra 1-1.5 hours. They should compare prices on uber and lyft at the time of ordering in case they're surging.
