I've used Xpress Airport Valet Parking a couple of times recently and couldn't be happier.

I made the reservation online and when we arrived at their very convenient lot just a little north of the airport, a valet was there to remove our baggage from our car and place it on one of their yellow vans. From the time we arrived until the van was on its way to the airport was no more than 5 minutes. They drop you off right on Level 3, the normal departure level, not two levels below like many other parking services.

On our return I called the pickup number and had to wait only about 10 minutes to be picked up from the offsite parking van pickup slot. By the time we arrived back at the lot only 5-6 minutes later, our car was waiting with the decklid open awaiting our luggage. The valet carried our bags from the van to our car while we went inside to settle up with the polite counter girls. We were on our way back to The Villages in only a few minutes, with complimentary bottles of water for both my wife and I.

All this great service for only $4.99 per day online rate (plus whatever tips you think are appropriate, of course!) They're located at 5600 Butler National Drive, Orlando, Florida 32812. I made my reservations online at their website Xpress Airport Valet Parking But you can call them to make a reservation at 407-730-9202. I think if you call in your reservation the rate is $5.99 a day.
