What is the cheapest way to get a towncar for a land/sea package?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are staying at the dolphin in August before our 4 night wonder cruise and have heard that maybe a towncar would be best. So what is the best price for a land and sea package from a company that is reputable? Its only for two adults by the way and we do not want to rent a car.
THANKS

In 2001 we did the 7 day DCL cruise, followed by a couple days at WDW, and used Tiffany. The thing about using a towncar is you are talking 3 legs to your journey: MCO to the port, the port to WDW and WDW to MCO (or a similar combination thereof) Also, you pay the same flat rate for a towncar whether you have one passenger, or a car full. I am quite sure our trip was a little over $200 plus tip, minus a coupon that was posted on their web site. Tiffany's web site currently lists RT from MCO to Pt Canaveral at $180, or RT from WDW resorts to Pt Canaveral at $210. It would be about $55 to add a leg to or from MCO to a WDW resort. They have a $5 coupon on their web site. I would suggest also checking Murray Hill Transportation (www.transportation2disney.com). We discovered them for our 1/04 WDW trip, and found their WDW rates to be the cheapest, and they provided excellent service. All of the town car services are going to be fairly similar in their pricing. When checking our companies, make sure to review their tipping policies. Some companies automatically will charge you a tip, and it can be in excess of 15%. I note that Tiffany's site now states that their posted rates do not include tip, and that the minimum tip is 20%. I personally prefer to tip according to the service I receive, and not have someone dictate that for me.

I agree. It really ticks me off that they would say that the "minimum tip is 20%". I tip for service. I will always give a minimum of 15% and will go up from there to reward service that is above and beyond. We have used Tiffany exclusively in the past, but if this is truly their new policy, who needs it!
