Default Don’t use Orange!

We used Orange this past week. Very sketchy! Arrived and were asked to leave keys on dash and park on a small dirt road. Then walk down dirt road with luggage and wait by a tractor trailer. Waited 20 min for shuttle to arrive. Then it was a free for all to get seats. We weren’t pushy enough so were unable to get on. They only had the 1 shuttle so it was about 30 minutes until it returned. We did make it on that one. When we returned we waited 35 minutes and no shuttle, others had been waiting 2 hours! Shuttles were not marked so anytime an unmarked shuttle appeared there was a stampede to get to it. We took a taxie for $25. And when we got there waited another 30 minutes for them to retrieve car!

OMNI ....... We use them most of the time. Have tried others, but OMNI for us, is the best. They also have a monthly rate, so it's even cheaper. I think my last rate for 25 days of parking was about $175. I think that it's a bargain. Their van shuttle is timely and dependable.

I've only used Hyatt Place. Have trees shading almost every parking spot. Quick and easy.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
I parked in Orange Thanksgiving weekend. When I got home Sunday, there were over 75 people waiting for the van. No line, people cutting in front, etc. I took an Uber ($20) to the lot - where it was MUCH worse. I got my own car (fortunately it was not blocked - with the keys in the car!) and I drove it out myself - after checking out at the desk. BTW, the bill was double what my reservation was - still no resolution.

You have probably already considered this. We returned to MCO last night rented a BMW from Enterprise with 450 miles on odometer, one way to the Villages for $99, meanwhile our car was in its nice cozy garage at home. PS, The BMW was luck of the draw, we have gotten much worse but always decent.

We use fast park and relax. Under cover. Great security. Great shuttle service. They are usually there when we are still getting luggage out of car.

We use Park n Go all of the time. They are great, and you can save by prepaying online.

Yes I have used Orange for the first time while I was away 12/16 -12/31. The site is awful as well as the van used for transporting people. However; my car was found in good condition and nothing was missing.

Default Fast Park & Relax

We use Fast Park & Relax. If you open an account you earn free days on your next trip. Under cover, they pick you and luggage up at car and load on shuttle. On return get the shuttle and get delivered to your car.

Arranged for Orange parking as many others filled over holidays. Terrible old truckers junkyard and junked cars, must leave keys to them, shuttle had folks sitting on steps when all seats full. On return they only had one smaller van taking folks and luggage back to lot while leaving 5-10 behind at terminal, I had to wait 1.5 hours as this was only so-called shuttle running the frustrated driver said. Almost fist fights to board each time he came to terminal at 10PM. Don't use them!

And the way they treated disabled seniors was horrible fighting to get on at terminal!
