We started using MH Transportation (transportation2disney) a couple years ago. We're happy with their service.

we've use We Drive You Fly our last couple of trips and they have been fantastic.

We have been using Happy Limo for the last few years and it has worked well, although it is pricey. We often take an early flight home (7:00 a.m.), so a 4:00/4:30 a.m. pickup is usually necessary. That has always been fine as well. We did not travel to WDW last year though.

We’ve used Tiffany Towncars as well with no issues.

Feb 2026 experience with Happy Limo - The pickup for eight passengers at MCO did not meet the standard we have come to expect from Happy Limo over the past seven years. The driver instructed us to meet outside on Level 1 rather than providing the customary meet-and-greet at baggage claim. When the driver arrived, the requested van had been replaced with a party van, described as an “upgrade.” This vehicle, however, could not safely accommodate two infant car seats, as the side-facing seats lacked proper anchors. The suggestion to use booster seats was not acceptable, as infants cannot legally or safely ride in them. Despite scheduling in advance for a van equipped with two car seats, this requirement was not met, raising concerns about planning and driver training regarding motor vehicle safety regulations.

The return trip to MCO was consistent with prior positive experiences: the correct vehicle was provided, the car seats were properly installed, and the driver was professional. Overall, the experience was inconsistent. I guess 50% satisfaction is acceptable.

I would hope that after you contacted the company they sent a replacement vehicle and gave you some monetary credit for your time.

We seem to be the exception here. We went with Gear Fusion because of all the good reviews on Disboards but we were very disappointed with them. They left us stranded at the airport for over an hour with no communication. When we were finally picked up there was no apology. The driver just stated “your driver didn’t show up to work today.” Then when we got no communication 24 hours before the return trip, I reached out to make sure they were going to pick us up as planned and they acted like I was being ridiculous for asking the question. We never received an apology or any sort of compensation. Definitely one and done for us.

No compensation for time, and no replacement vehicle offered. No response or reply from management on the incident received to date. We will be monitoring this site for customer experiences with other limo service providers for our future trips.

Wow. OK, that's bad.

There are lots of private car services in the Orlando area. Florida Tours is a sponsor of Dis, Tiffany Towncar is often used (we did in July with zero issues), and there are other mentions. Scroll through a page or two and you'll see the question comes up at least every other month if not more often.

Any one use The Magical Express or Orlando Magical Rides?

Trying to find a full-service, upgraded sprinter van for about 10 people.

But most websites don’t show the interior and the prices vary a lot.

AwayWeGo is cheapest but the vans look very basic and they meet you at Level 1 MCO instead of baggage claim (that’s what their FAQ says). So not quite the service level I’m looking for.

Did you check Tiffany?

Did you check Tiffany?

I did. There are definitely no photos of the interior of the van on the website so no idea the trim or configuration.

They’re are unclear if there’s a fee for car seats cause they list car seats under “extra charges”.

Have you used their Vans before?

We did. We had seven adults in June. I don't remember the interior of the van and didn't take any pictures, so can't help you there or with the car seats.

Driver was professional and on time, I can say.

Sorry it's not more.

Sprinters are too tall to go into the Express Pickup tunnel (main A/B terminal building), so even if the driver meets you at Baggage Claim, you’ll still have to walk to the vehicle outside.
I agree that Away We Go uses basic Ford Transit vans; their service is more like a private shuttle van than a luxury car service.
We Drive You Fly might be a good option, as would Cast & Crew Transportation. Plenty of vehicle photos on both their websites and social media pages. Orlando Magical Rides should also have what you’re looking for.
