Transportation to/from airport from Universal Resort

I'm assuming Tony takes credit cards, is that correct? I have him scheduled to pick us up for MCO to RPR but I forgot to ask.

Maybe PayPal.
I give him cash or traveler checks.

did you check his website for cc usage?

 

[shoney]

Yes. Tony does accept credit cards. I used one back in June of 2013.

His website says he takes Visa, MC and Amex.

that's right.

i always go with cash with him.

no specific reason, just a habit to pay some of my expenses with cash instead of charging on my cc.

i like to pay as i go type of thing.

My DBF and I just got back from our trip. We stayed 1 night at Cabana Bay then transferred over to AKL. We used Uber for both trips (Airport to Cabana Bay and Cabana Bay to AKL) and our out of pocket was unbelievable. Our first trip from the airport to Cabana Bay was only $1.06. We tipped the guy $5 of course. Then our trip from Cabana Bay to AKL was $0.39. We tried tipping the driver but he wouldn't accept our money and told us to use it in the parks. So awesome. USE UBER!!

Be careful of UBER over holidays. They use dynamic or surge pricing for busy nights.

It was all over our news that some people were taken for a literal ride on Halloween. One guy was charged $539 for an 18 mile ride on Halloween. There were other similar fares reported for similar distances. Between the surge pricing and the inexperience with the app, the customers had the most expensive rides they could imagine.

Uber stands by its dynamic pricing model as a way to balance supply and demand, but Amodeo said the company does offer a 25% discount to first-time riders who are caught off guard by the multiplied fares. He said the 25% discount will likely apply to Asbury.

Thanks all for the recommendations.

I just booked Tony for our New Year's trip. $100 rt from MCO to PBH. I was happy he was still available for our time frame on a holiday.

I am going to trust you on this one

What do you all tip?

Or do you not tip because he is the owner of the company?

I think I would be uncomfortable not tipping. But what is the customary tip since he is the owner? 20%

i tip him 20%.
he does a majority of the driving.

it is a personal matter on what percent you tip.
some do 15%, others do 20% which is about average for orlando.

in chicago, i use car service to the airport.
i use a major company and their standard tip is 10%.
(that is what is listed on their website)
i book it in advance and request the tip be added to the total with that company.)


when i am in orlando, i do the 20% tip as it seems like the standard there.

with Tony, he includes a free grocery stop.
last time i used publix but they didn't have something i wanted.
Tony took me to another place for that item.
no extra charge

tell Tony i said hi when you see him.

Tony was great, met us at baggage claim and walked us over to the baggage carousel to collect our baggage and took them to the van. Stopped at the Publix across from Rosen Shingle Creek. He didn't have his credit card reader for his cell phone so told us to pay on the way back. We tipped $10 cash each way on an $100 RT. On the way back he used Square with a credit card reader which immediately e-mailed a receipt. Good experience all around.

Will do

Does anyone know if Tony does trips to/from Sanford Airport (SFB)?

contact him, i know he does the cruises for transportation.

i haven't read about anyone using Tony from Sanford but maybe he does.

 

[kellymarch]

Tony was great...Stopped at the Publix across from Rosen Shingle Creek...

Do you know if by any chance pool tubes are for sale there? Going to Cabana Bay & apparently it's BYO.

 

[macraven]

pool thingies can be bought at the Cbay pool.

Another vote for Tony we've used him the last few trips...the first time he picked us up personally, the second trip his driver Rick did it and both provided excellent service. We actually got an extra stop on our way to Pop since my daughter had sprained her ankle the night before we left and we needed to get a cane and other supplies at the drugstore...both Tony and Rick are great.

We're using him again next month...it's nice to have someone we know we can depend on...kind of like having a friend pick us up.

Has anyone used Tony from MCO to RPR then RPR to Port Canaveral? If so how much did he charge?

Thanks,

Shannon
