I think Dave’s now charges $100 for first person and $25 for each additional person. He is excellent and is always on time.

I prefer a private driver. Just over an hour nonstop. Life is too short.

I have only used Creative Concierge for family visits. Family of 4 is $10 less than Workman and it’s door to door and they provided the right car seats for an infant and toddler at no charge.

Do they pick you up at your house and take you to the bus barn where you load with others or do you stay in the same van and go straight to the airport?

Creative Concierge is punctual and has the most interesting drivers if you want to chat en route.

You are correct , $125 for 2 people.

I just used them last week and have them booked again in August…..

I understand your frustration. $40 one way per person may be reasonable. It’s just frustrating for us to be paying more for ground transportation than we do for our flights. Especially when flying often. Last flight was $25 per person. We never pay more than the $40 for our flight. No charge for luggage cause we have none. But we choose the lifestyle so can’t complain.

There is an additional charge for home pickup. That vehicle takes you to one of two departure points (not a barn). Where the van leaves for the airport.

I agree; in our experience Capris has been reliable with friendly drivers that pick you up at your door and drop you at the departure level. No hassle and worth a few extra bucks.

Default Uber or Lyft?

Has anyone ever tried using a ride share like Uber or Lyft? Our son came in for a visit and used a ride share from MCO. He said it was very easy. One way was $125 and one way was $80. The cost varies by time of day and how busy they are and also the size of car you order. You can have at least 2 people in any size and up to 4 or 5 in bigger ones with no price increase for more than one passenger.
