price comparison Tiffany, yourride or Mears?

[disneymom3]

I need to know what will be most economical for my 5 year old and myself. Also, does she need her carseat for these trips? (I know FL is til 6, but wasn't sure for this type of transportation.)

Thanks

I don't know about the car seat(I have teens). As far as cost, I believe Mears would be the most economical since they charge per person(and children are less). Both town car services would be about $80 + tip round trip. Of course, a town car would be quicker & more personal.

For two people, I don't know if it would be cheaper to do the towncar. We priced for four and it was. I was told that for public transportation there is no need for a carseat. When we went 5 years ago we had a 5 yo dd. We did the Mears (didn't know about the towncar option) and carseat was not required.

However, this year we are doing a towncar. It is 85 roundtrip. We have a 3 yo dd and will be requesting a booster seat. This is common. You need to make sure that they understand how old, however. I have read below many problems with people getting carseats when they needed boosters, but more frequently boosters when they needed car seats for smaller children.

Since we use Disney transportation the whole time without one, I don't think it would be a problem. BTW Mears was nice. Didn't have any problems with it, but it is now cheaper with four of us to do the towncar.

It is only about a $5 difference between Mears and Tiffany for the 3 of us, so we gladly pay the extra $5 for Tiffany and get our 30 minute grocery stop, and personal door to door service! Of course, for only 2, Mears would be more economical.
