Parking at MCO
 

Debating parking our car at the airport or taking the shuttle. Anyone drive to the airport and park at the terminal log term parking? I also see many satellite parking area's around the airport,anyone use them?

GO on the internet and google Orlando airport parking...you will get a number of places that charge as low as $4 a day parking with good shuttle service.....with no hotel stay. YOu can also stay at alot of hotels in the MCO area and your parking would be free.

Parking at MCO
 

I often park at MCO. Shuttle is only cost effective if you are traveling alone. I use several different sites but usually end up on Narcossee Rd. which is about 3 miles past the airport exit (make a left at the bottom of the exit). There are several places along there and usually the cheapest. You don't really need a reservation except around the Holidays when reservations are a must. Parking at the airport remote lots is the most expensive. Google "parking at MCO" and you will get several hits. Sometimes you will get discount coupons. If you do book on line there is usually a service charge.

We had very good experiences with Spot Parking. There are coupons on their website and in the magazines onboard airplanes.

3 dollars a day, but there is a "service fee" for the reservation that I think was $5. So if you are parking more than 5 days it is the lowest I've seen. I've used it several times, always prompt pick up. You can try discount code pdrsc which used to give ten percent off.

Yes, I did that and do see that there are many options. Round trip for us on the Airport van would be $140 so the savings are significant. Was wondering if anyone used these satellite lots and could give a recommendation
. Thanks

Made a reservation at Xpress Airport Parking. .5 mi. from airport, $24 complete for the four days.I'll post my experience, thanks all

We used Premier Parking 7653 Narcoossee rd. for 10 days over Christmas. Bill for 10 days was a little over $43.00 incl. tax. Rate is $3.95 per day. Had to wait 15 min. for shuttle on the return trip. I would use them again.

This is such a subjective discussion!

For many years I have used what used to be called the "North Lot." It charged $10 per 24-hour period. Today, it has a new name, but, so far as I know, still charges the same amount!

My research before a trip always weighs The Villages Transportation round-trip charges against the "North lot's" charges for the same time frame.

This frequently boils down to a virtually even charge!

Therefore, other factors must enter your calculations!

Considerations are. as a minimum:

** additional charges for at-home pickup / at-home dropoff; The Villages Transportation usually charges $5 per person per trip.

** how much longer than a standard 24-hour period will you be asking for parking charges?

Granted, in my view, many of the foregoing calculations may end up with minimal charges against the ongoing flow.

My decisions very often depend upon which method is, in the end, most economical!
