Looking for recommendations for private transportation to/from MCO?
We usually use Gearfusion but last time, our driver picked us up from OKW then spent the majority of the 30 minute drive jabbing at Disney, Universal and theme park people.. It was a bit uncomfortable. The other 2 times we’ve used them have been ok but just want to see what else is out there.
We just use Uber Black. It’s essentially a car service with professional drivers and you don’t have to set it up ahead of time.

We’ve used Orlando Limo multiple times for our family of four. Will be using them again for next trip as well.

We used Away We Go for our most recent trip. They were great!

Have any of you dealt with car seats for young kids in a private transport? We’re traveling in June with our three young kids (2-5yo) and trying to figure out car seats without necessarily bringing that many full car seats with us for a short ride to/from the airport. Does the Minnie Van service work better for that?

We have used Tiffany Towncar to/from MCO and Sanford with 2 of their provided car seats for our kids. Service was good - they were definitely on time and waiting for us at baggage claim upon arrival. Good communication (text) at pickup. The car seats have varied from new-ish to not-so-great, but it was a short ride so we dealt with it. Would definitely recommend this route rather than flying with car seats if you are staying on property and don’t need the car seats during the trip.
Out of our 3 trips (6 rides) we only had one driver that didn’t speak great english and wasn’t too friendly, but all the others were pleasant and professional.
Minnie Vans consistently had great seats and great drivers, but last I checked it was 2x the price for airport runs so we just stuck with Tiffany for that and used Minnie Vans on property.
We have used happy limo the last few trips and like them. You can pay extra to stop and get some groceries on the way to the resort.
That makes me so nervous for gearfusion! We have used them the last 4 trips with no issues, but weirdly last week for our return trip to mco it was not normal. I got a confirmation from a female saying when she would get us, and the time was wrong so I asked for the correct time. she responded sure and confirmed. then seconds later I get a text from a male saying he was getting us and the time was also wrong, I said I was already confirmed with first person and restated the time we needed. Then I tried to email and fb message them to ask what was going on and who was getting us. Was told the female and the right time, but then shortly after while at lunch I got a text from the male saying he was there and ready for us. WRONG time and also where was the first person? I texted her back and she said she " Hurt her back" the whole thing left me so weirded out by them. I am so sad!!!
I'm always an Uber user. Usually costs between $40-$50 and i have never waited more than 2-3 minutes.
I use Orlando Magical Rides for the past three vacations to Walt Disney World. They are a great transportation service. They range from $125 to $170 depending on what type of vechile you would like to use for your mode of transportation.
Gearfusion left us stranded at the airport for over an hour with no communication on our last trip. We’re done with them. We are thinking of trying Grayson Towncar on our upcoming trip.

We just used Pinpiint Transportation out of Sanford. We were given a discount - if you send in to get a quote, Doug will send back a 24 hour deal. They were prompt, professional, and a great company to work with.

That would definitely make me look for a different transportation service next time, because the ride to the resort should feel like the start of the vacation, not something that adds stress. When I'm comparing private transfers, I usually pay attention to recent feedback about on-time pickups, clear communication, and drivers who are courteous and let passengers enjoy the ride. I have noticed FS Premier Transport mentioned in a few transportation discussions, so its another name to include when you are comparing different options. Have you narrowed your choices down yet, or are you still looking for recommendations from other Disney visitors?
I have used Ace Luxury Transportation twice. We had a party of nine going from MCO to the cruise port and back. They use very nice vehicles and provided car seats for the kids. My mother in law needed a restroom break, the driver (Adam) stopped at the closest gas station and even went inside to make sure the place was clean first. We used them again for a group of seven (kids and car seats again) for airport transportation from Pop Century back in February. I will call them first every time.
