Where are you going from Orlando Airport?

Almost everyone here is going to a park, a resort or a cruise. Fixed rates per vehicle, not per person, which is what makes the difference for a family.

Step by step

Arrival instructions, step by step

MCO has two separate buildings a mile apart. Knowing which one you land in is the whole thing.

  1. 1. Immigration, if you are international

    Terminal C handles most international wide-bodies now. US arrivals go straight to baggage reclaim.

  2. 2. The laser visa works for flying, with a passport

    Mexico’s border crossing card (DSP-150) is a B-1/B-2 visa, so it works for flying to Miami or Orlando. The one thing to remember is that arriving by air you always present it together with a valid Mexican passport: the card on its own will not get you on the plane.

  3. 3. A connection in the United States counts as entry

    There is no sterile international transit here: everyone who lands clears immigration, collects their bag and rechecks it. If you are only connecting onward to another country, you still need an ESTA or a visa. Without one you will not be allowed to board at origin.

  4. 4. The automated people mover

    In Terminals A and B you take the shuttle from your airside to the main terminal before baggage reclaim. It is two minutes and it is not optional.

  5. 5. Baggage reclaim

    Baggage reclaim is on Level 2 of the main terminal for A and B, and on Level 2 of Terminal C.

  6. 6. Down to Level 1

    Ground transport is on Level 1 in every terminal at MCO. That is where your driver is.

  7. 7. Find the name board

    Your driver meets you on the ground transport level of your terminal with an eTransfers name board. Photo and number plate are in MyTrip before you land.

  8. 8. Thirty minutes to Disney

    Walt Disney World is about thirty minutes, Universal and International Drive twenty, Kissimmee twenty-five, Port Canaveral about an hour.

Safety first

What to watch for at Orlando Airport

A very easy airport with two expensive traps: the wrong terminal and the shared shuttle.

Terminal C is not next door

It is a separate complex about a mile from A and B, linked by a train. If you walk out of the wrong building looking for your driver, you are in the wrong place entirely.

The shared shuttle to the parks

It charges per person and drops off resort by resort. For a family of four it costs more than a private vehicle and takes twice as long, which after a transatlantic flight with children is a real cost.

Surge and park-day pricing

App prices in Orlando spike on park opening and closing hours. A prepaid transfer does not.

Verify photo and number plate

Driver name, photo and number plate are in MyTrip before you land.

Toll roads everywhere

Every fast road to the parks is tolled and all-electronic. Your transfer includes them; a hire car bills them later with a fee.

Tips from our team in Florida

What families ask us about getting from MCO to the parks.

eTransfers team in FloridaServing Orlando since 2019 Verified by our team at MCO
  • Child seats are free

    Florida law requires a seat up to age five. We install them before you land, at no charge. A hire car company charges per day for the same thing.

  • The supermarket stop

    A twenty-minute stop at a Publix or Walmart on the way to the resort is the single best-value thing you can do in Orlando. Water and breakfast for the week cost less than one park lunch.

  • Going to a cruise

    Port Canaveral is about an hour. The cruise line coach costs per person and leaves on its own schedule; a private vehicle leaves when you land.

  • The train to Miami

    From Terminal C you can be in Miami in about three and a half hours. It is a genuinely good train and a good option for a two-city trip.

  • When to come

    Crowds follow the US school calendar. Late January, early May and September are the quiet windows; summer is hot, wet and full.

  • Park opening traffic

    I-4 between the airport and the parks is slow from 7 to 9 h and from 17 to 19 h. Landing outside those windows saves you half an hour.

The shared shuttle is the one to think about here. It looks cheaper per person until there are four of you, and it drops off resort by resort, which is two hours after a long flight with tired children.

Back to the airport

Your return to Orlando Airport

MCO is one of the busiest airports in the country and the security queue on a Saturday in summer is not a rumour.

  • Domestic flightsPick-up 2 hours before departure, plus the drive from your resort.
  • International flightsPick-up 3 hours before departure, plus journey time. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the worst queues of the week.
  • Check your terminalA, B and C are not the same building. Your airline decides, and your voucher names it.

“Good service from our driver Joel. He waited for us at the airport entrance for our transfer to our hotel in Orlando with a distinctive paddle that helped us find him quickly.”

Erin F.

“They supported me with my reservation without any inconvenience. We were picked up at the airport's departure gate and taken directly to the entrance of our hotel. We took a round-trip shuttle service in Orlando.”

Jerry P.

“I traveled with my wife to Orlando as an anniversary gift, so I wanted everything to be perfect. I have hired eTransfers for destinations such as Miami and even Mexico. I can say the service was better this time than the previous ones. Always Goats in Orlando Airport Shuttles”
