There are still private couriers out there. The cost for a one-way trip to MCO or back with one of them might be near three times what Groome might charge for a similar trip but if you add riders (family/friends at the same pickup address) the cost drops significantly. Blue Line also has rides to and from the airports at Gainesville, Tampa and Sanford as well as Orlando and also offers service to Port Canaveral. It has been awhile but I have used them: punctual and reliable.
Though I do share some of the misgivings about Groome's monopolization of airport transport, they are still far from the only game in town.
