Transportation To And From The Orlando Airport
Getting to and from the Orlando airport is a relatively easy thing as you have a bevy of choices going for you. The normal choice among most tourists is taking a taxi to their desired location. A trip via taxi downtown (which is roughly three miles from the airport) will normally cost you US$35. There are shuttles that ply the same route that are half the rate of taxis but they usually get filled easily and if you’re in a hurry, that’s a point off. The cheapest way is to try one of the Lynx buses that pass by the airport. They cost around US$1.50 and some run to International Drive and Apopka. For those of you who have hotel reservations, most hotels provide complimentary shuttle trips to and from the airport so you should be covered there.
For those who can’t wait to visit the more famous attraction spots of Orlando, Disney World Resort offers a private coach to bring their guests there. Advanced booking even allows you to bypass the baggage claim since your baggage will automatically be brought to the resort. If you are not staying at a resort but still wants to go directly to Disney World, then a taxi is your easiest option. The fare from the airport to Disney World costs around US$60. You can also try the direct shuttle to the amusement park. There’s a bonus for those who avails the round trip ticket as it is much cheaper than the normal charge per passenger.
Limousines are also an option, although they charge by the hour. The recommended way to travel to and from the airport, however, is through a rented car as you will then be able to have your own private vehicle for the duration of your stay in Orlando. Renting a car is easy as Orlando has lots of car rental agencies, both major and local. In the airport grounds alone, there are at least six rental agencies where you can get a car. Finally, for those of you who want to get out of the Orlando area directly, shuttle services are available that will take you to several key points in Florida.
