Good afternoon,

I have the need leave MCO, for The Villages, after a 10:30 PM arrival. 8/17/24.

Then, leave The Villages, for MCO, to catch a 6:30 AM departure. 8/24/24.

Groome does not accommodate these times.

If TOTV denizens have used other transportation options, to good effect, I would appreciate advice. Bonus points for costs....one person, only.

I would prefer not to impose on my Villages hosts to help with these ungodly driving hours.

Many thanks, in advance.

Try Uber and Lyft? Cost? Unless you can get a group (like a van) to split the cost you’re going to pay a single rider fee. You will need to leave at ~3:30 am for your 6:30 flight, good luck. Uber has been running $150 when I look during the day not sure if cheaper or not early and late? Cheap MCO long term parking is $14 a day if that is a cheaper option? If ride share, please tip them well they work too.

Uber or Lyft may be one of the best choices unfortunately.

That’s a pretty early departure considering what time you need to arrive, especially when you consider the commute. When we book those early flights, we stay at the Hyatt Regency inside the airport. Its so much easier to wake up and take a 30 second elevator ride down that lets you out directly in front of the security lines instead of trying to get all the way over to MCO at that time of the AM.

Have you looked into renting a car and driving yourself? It's likely to be about the same price or cheaper than a car service.

Many thanks, in advance.

I've taken Groome a couple of times at 1AM for a 6AM flight. Pickup at the house in a van. Both times there were others in the vehicle. I prefer to arrive early rather than worry about construction or long security lines.

What do you mean Groome doesn't accommodate that schedule?

They have a departure from MCO at 11:10 pm; 12:10 am; and 1:40 am from terminal A. The next one is at 4:10 am.

I am a novice at working with Groome. I interpreted the online answer I received as notice that they were not running during the times I needed.

I shall return to Groome, with renewed hope. Many thanks!
