A lot depends on how you value your time. We were picked up by Groome at Terminal C and it took nearly three hours before we were at our door - around double what a private ride would take - and when you have an early flight out, or just want to get home...
We had the same experience about two months ago. After a long day of traveling 3 1/2 hours from touchdown to our home is not satisfactory.

Hire a private driver. There's many out there, a couple that I used charge me $100 round-trip to Orlando and 140 round-trip to Tampa. Worth every penny

Done with Groome
 
I was always a Groome user. Then they started making too many pickups outside TV. This makes the trips considerably longer and the riders are not our neighbors.

No more Groome for us.

Why is Uber cheaper on return?

We have used Creative Consigniere for a number of years both to and from airports Very reliable, timely and clean vehicles. Door to door service A bit pricey but worth the peace of mind.

We’ve used mytransportationtv.com. It is a locally owned company and they are very reliable. Door to door service. Victoria and Michael are the main contacts.

Groome now has express buses that go straight to/from the Orlando airport to the Brownwood hotel without stopping. After Brownwood Hotel the buses continue on to Sumter Landing (and I think Sp Springs after that). For $5 more a van will pick you up at home/drive you home from the hotel etc. Also you save $5 per trip to or from the airport by booking your reservation online, which is easy after you do it a time or two. They now also go to the Tampa airport.

Southern Oaks SUV

We use to use Southern Oaks SUV Transportation, they were very good but they no longer service anyone North of 44. We have several upcoming trips and will probably just park at the airports and port as I cannot find any highly rated door to door, single pickup services.

Have a friend drop you off and pick you up. Buy them a meal or some gasoline, or do the same for them.

Sounds good but the overall time is more than we want to deal with after a long day of travel.

BTW by any chance do you work for them?

What difference does it make?

Uber
 
We have two on most trips, Uber is by far our best option.
