You couldn’t pay me to go in a shuttle van. I either drive myself and park or hire a person to drive me. I’ve also take uber/lyft and find the prices are much more reasonable leaving the airport than getting there.

Default The Parking Spot

I have only used this parking place one time but it was great. The Parking Spot. You can reserve in advance. As soon as you pull in, a van follows you to your parking spot. The driver I had even took out suitcases out of our trunk. Return was easy. Covered pickup area at MCO for these services. Took us right back to our car.

I highly recommend FastPark&Relax. We used it in December and it was awesome. You go in line and make a reservation. Then you get a bar code to scan when you get there and they will tell you which aisle to pull into. The shuttle will be ready and waiting to take you right to your gate. When you come back, you just go to the designated pick up area and they will be there quickly to take you back to your car.

Cheers!

Default Groome

I am not happy with Groome. Used them for years but lately they have been doing pickups outsideTV. It happened to me twice. It added a lot of time and the people were…

I’m done with Groome.

I’m done with Groome.
We used them recently (MCO-TV) and found them unreliable.
At Terminal A there were 20 people waiting for the Groome Shuttle to TV.
He was late and he only had 10 seats left on the bus after Terminal B & C pickups.
The driver blamed the dispatcher.
We fortunately got on, but 10 others were told to wait an hour for the next shuttle (which might also be full).
When we arrived at LSL, our connecting ride to our house (prepaid mind you), was not there.
The shuttle driver just left us there. Many drivers have left Groome, we understand, so they are now understaffed.

We're done too!
