Hi all.. just wondering if anyone has used Uber from MCO to any of the Universal hotels... I have seen there are some "rules" in place at MCO regarding private cars, etc... if Uber wouldn't work upon arrival at MCO, has anyone had any experience using it to go from the hotel (in my case, Portofino Bay) to MCO?

I currently have Tiffany Town Car reserved but wouldn't mind saving some $$$$ by using Uber at least one of the ways.

TIA!

We have Tony booked for the first time for a trip in May. He will pick us up at MCO and take us to the Double Tree by Universal. After 3 days pick us up there and take us to Port Canaveral for a 3 day cruise. Pick us up there and take us to Port Orleans Riverside. There is a total of 7 people and he told me around 300.00.

Can someone tell me the website you use for Tony?

I hope I am posting this in the right place! First trip to Universal and I have two questions. On getting from MCO to Universal - we are getting in about 8 PM Spring Break (March 7) Should we prebook transportation or get a cab at the airport? Expedia offered a town car (we have 4 people) for $85 - is that a good (and reliable) idea?

Second question - we are headed to Wilderness Lodge for 2 days at the end of our trip. A friend who had a split stay told me that the Royal Pacific valet service kept their bags after checkout while they spent the last day in the Universal Parks and then they used RPR's transportation to get to Disney (A large SUV with a flat fee of $50 at the time) Is this still available?( valet service and transportation) We are staying at HRH.

$85 seems high from mco to uo.
send an email or call tony hinds to get a price for him on that one way ride.

i use tony for a 3 leg transportation.
mco to disney
disney to uo
uo to airport

it is cheaper to do a 3 leg than to book separate transportation for your trip.

the uo onsite hotels do have the cars for transportation.
i am only familiar with going from uo hotel to airport, used it once.
i'm guessing they are for hire to other places and not only mco.

you can check your luggage with uo onsite hotels and pick them up when you are ready to leave the parks/property.
i've checked out of rph and at times hrh at 11 and returned at 9 pm to get my items out of valet.

Thanks, macraven! I will give Tony a call tomorrow! I would be happy to also use him for the middle leg to WDW, but I don't know what time we will finish at US and be ready to head to Wilderness Lodge. Maybe 2 PM Maybe 7 PM - won't know until the family is ready to call it a day!! Wouldn't want him on standby when he could have other customers!! And the ME will return us to MCO

We used Orlando Transfer (Sergio) last year and I would highly recommend them. It cost me $72 one way for a part of 4 adults, which was at least $30 cheaper than what Tony quoted us (we did not need a grocery stop or a ride back to the airport). He picked us up in a van and everything went very smoothly. We will use them again when we go back this summer. Their number is 407-433-5599 and the website is OrlandoTransfer.net.

Possibly the only not-so-bright spot of our trip to USO last month was the trip from MCO to RPH and back. It was the airport transfer option available from Universal when we booked our package ($50 each way) and the service was actually provided by "Quick Transportation".

It was supposed to be a meet-and-greet at the airport but they screwed up our arrival time and we had to wait 45 minutes for them to show up. The trip from the hotel back to MCO was in a van with two other families.

Next time, we'll take a cab (~$50) or Uber ($18-$24).

Just booked Tony for our June trip - $100 round trip with a grocery stop! Thanks for the recommendation, Macraven

 

[macraven]

tell tony i said hi when you see him.

i feel $100 is a great deal for a round trip with a 30 minute grocery stop
his vehicle can handle a family easily.

I just booked Tony as well after reading this thread. Though with my quote he said cash please. I don't mind paying in cash but I know his website said credit so not sure if he changed his policy. Either way he answered his emails quickly and was very cordial so I'm happy I heard about him.

He asked for cash when I talked to him as well. No biggie for me since I planned on paying with cash anyway, but I do wonder if he stopped taking credit cards.

Definitely a great deal. Do you happen to know if I tip for both ways during the first leg? He asked for full payment then, but I didn't think to ask about tipping.
