I don't know what he cost is now but it used to be $40/person each way. I never liked the idea of being picked up 3-hours before my flight and having to wait 2-hours at the airport. Also, there are the pick-ups and drop-offs each way. I rent a car and drive to the airport on my own schedule. The cost was about $100 each way. The extra money is worth it.

Penny Trogden will pick you up and drop you at your door. She is fantastic with communication and safety. I believe the current rate is $70 (not sure if it matters if there is one person or two). 352-322-6084

We're using Dave's Transportation for the first time next month after reading so many positive postings from consumers whom we know and trust. Even so, we'll see....

Workman Transportation picks up at MCO every hour or 90 minutes, depending on the time of day. Also, if you get off your plane early (which is not uncommon) you can call them. If the bus is downstairs they will wait for you to get outside and you can take the earlier bus. Just in case this helps ...

Thanks or the heads up. I consider Groome and Workman the "big boys" as they have shuttles. I had called Groome and told them what time the plane would arrive, and they basically told me that if I missed the bus one would be back in 2 hours. I checked their schedule and it was 2 hours. They offered no advice, except to say it was cutting it close.

After reading your post, I checked Workman schedule and they are every hour. If my private ride doesn't come through, I'll give them a call. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I did call Dave and one other and they were both booked on the day I needed them. I am waiting on a call back to confirm another. I appreciate all of your recommendations.

My question is what type of car are these different services using? I am the world's worse passenger...its a stress thing. Anyway I want to sit in the back and not in some little car. Doesn't need to be a bus. I want to feel like the driver knows how to drive...not just drive fast (hence, my stress) we usually fly into Sanford and have taken the van service. Not the best...driver wanted to put me up front with him, I said no, couldn't do...he got mad and proceeded to slam doors and act like a jerk.
Trust me, I don't want to be that difficult passenger, but I truly have issues....oh well

Ps....dont turn around to talk while you drive..watch the road!!!
I know, I'm hopeless.

Rayne's Limo and car service, we have used him numerous times, and for family. He is very, very good. Highly recommend. $85 a trip plus tip, no matter how many.

Most car rental companies will not do a one way rental without charging a large dropoff fee. Almost double the rental fee.

But, Rayne's can't prove they have commercial insurance, that's why the rate is so cheap, not for my family members. I want a commercially insured legal service. Just like I see a couple other (1-car) names being thrown out there, the reason their so cheap is, they are not registered businesses with the state of Fla., henceforth there "auto insurance" won't cover a thing when they have an incident because that person was using it for commercial purposes.

Default Have you considered?

We had a problem finding someone to drop us off at 5am and pick us up at midnight recently. So we decided to use one of the park and ride type places around the airport. It went so smoothly that we will probably do it all the time. We used Park bark and fly ( but there are a bunch of them)The shuttle was there within a minute of parking our car and on return they were waiting when we arrived. Great option for someone who can drive. I think it’s about $7 a day. Even for our 11 day trip it was still about half of a shuttle price for the two of us. Good luck.

PS- the bark in the name is there because they can help you find a pet boarding place .

I use Capris. Last time I used them they picked me up at MCO, took me over to SouthAudi waited for hubby to pick up a new battery for our car then brought us to Mallory Sq. Cost about $150 before tip I think. Since I have discovered them I have never used anyone else.
