Is there a particular lot to park in that gives easy access to the Jet Blue Departure Terminal? Have always taken a shuttle from the Villages but am thinking of driving and leaving my car. Am hoping someone has some advice on where is the best place to park (or avoid :-))
TIA |

If I’m taking a really short trip I park in long term parking for the convenience. If it’s longer I’ve done both the other options and I like the airport economy lots. |

All off site parking takes you to the terminal (not just specifically Jet Blue). I park at the MCO North long term parking lot and their shuttle takes you to the terminal (they will ask you what airline). Take a picture of the parking row and note what parking bus stop (A, B, C, etc) you parked in. The lot is a tad tricky to find the first run to MCO (I did it in the dark, LOL) but stay to the right entering the airport and look for the signs. Cost is $14 but there are other options see link.

We park care at The Renaissance Hotel. Usually pay < 10 a day. Make sure that their drivers go there. Jet Blue is in a new terminal which is about 2 miles further away from A and B

Don't do it, unless you're traveling in a non-busy time. Parking at Orlando Airport is generally a disaster and it's not unusual for the parking lots to be completely full ... they have more passengers & flights, than they do parking. |

We use Park and Go, an off airport parking facility. They run shuttles back and forth frequently. Make a reservation. Good operation.

I lived in west Orlando for over 10 years starting in 2012 and we travelled extensively out of KMCO. Probably 8-10 times per year.
After several experiments (including UBER) I use The Parking Spot all the time. I timed it one morning and from when I exited off he 408E onto Semoran Blvd northbound and then returned on the Parking Spot shuttle was less than 15 minutes. They are REALLY quick getting you to the airport. Rarely a wait for a shuttle of more than 5 minutes--they often follow you to the spot. I wait 0-15 minutes for the shuttle to go back to parking when I get back to Orlando. They have a "Frequent Parker" program that give you points for each stay and rewards for free parking. No charge for cancellations. You can tip the drivers via credit card (scan the QR code on the bus). Be warned--they do not take cash at the parking area--you MUST use their app to pay. Easy to exit; just scan the app at the exit kiosk. Not an issue for me and I was automatically emailed receipt for expenses. What really sold me on The Parking Spot" were the several mornings I arrived at MCO (on the shuttle) and as we arrive at Terminal A I saw the terminal parking garages were all full. I had a reserved space at The Parking Spot so it was not a problem--glad I had a reservation. Nightmare averted. I do not even bother shopping around now. I *think* they have surge pricing. Off-season it may be less than $12 per day and then as much as $18 per day during the holiday rush weeks. If we park--here where we go... |

Not well versed on all the off-site parking options. But I just used Wally parking, it was $18 a day for covered parking. Less for uncovered parking.

We use Fast Park & Relax. Covered offsite parking. Usually about $9 per day. Shuttle picks you up at your parking space, loads your luggage and drops you at terminal C for Jet Blue. On return, meet shuttle outside baggage. Very simple safe parking.

We use Fast Park and Relax often. Make a reservation on their website. Very convenient. Pick up at your parking space take you to your terminal. Return pick up easy too. They do offer a program to earn free days
