Knowing Who to Trust

Posted by Filed under Cruising from Port Canaveral, Orlando Travel, Universal Florida Tips & Tricks, Walt Disney World Tips & Tricks

When the first version of the Orlando Hotel Shuttles website went live, it was really a site more like the “Kayak of Orlando ground transportation”. Like Kayak, we compared all of the local transportation companies in the area and presented a list of all the lowest prices for each route.

But within a few months, I had the chance to learn more about the industry, its drivers and owners, and the reputations of the various companies that were all providing low-priced trips to Disney-area hotels and resorts plus all those surrounding Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, Wet ‘n Wild, and of course SeaWorld. With all of the popular destinations for family fun and entertainment throughout Orlando and Kissimmee, coupled with the huge number of vacationers who swarm the region each year, the result is a vast menagerie of transportation options with varying levels of quality — some with highly questionable reliability.

So with swift perseverance, I made it a point to review each company on our list to vet each one and hone our “travel suppliers” down to a shorter list of excellent pricing and particular quality. And I have stayed fervently on this task — continuing to monitor our clients’ feedback on each booking and to stay in tune with the news of scandals involving disreputable drivers and providers in local  business.

The end result is a select grouping of the best ground transportation providers, ALL of whom I would proudly recommend and ANY one of which I would choose to transport myself or my family.

Please let us help you make this portion of your travel planning easier by inputting the routes for your upcoming trip, choosing from the competitive rates displayed, and using our easy reservation system to finalize your booking in short order. Have a great trip!

A Savings Success Story

Posted by Filed under Cruising from Port Canaveral, Walt Disney World Tips & Tricks

Recently a man contacted us to ask about how to create his reservation when he was being dropped off at MCO, instead of flying in on an airline. He had booked round-trip travel on the cruise line bus, which only took him and his family to and from the airport.

This gentleman and his wife were planning a family trip with their kids and grandkids. The cruise line made it ‘easy’ to add on their ground transportation to the port, but since the family wanted to spend a few days at Walt Disney World following the cruise, he wanted to book a separate round trip from MCO to his Disney area resort hotel.

I explained that we could certainly book the transfers he requested, but that with the multi-route discount available, I could probably save him even more money while also providing a private vehicle for his family for the routes to and from the port as well.

After comparing the Cruise’s ground transport price of $70 per person for his group of seven passengers, he was able to not only enjoy having a private driver waiting for him at the airport baggage claim, but they rode in a private car for all three routes AND saved $285. The cruise line gave a full refund of their ground transportation charges in a simple cancellation process.

Cruise Season is Upon Us

Posted by Filed under Cruising from Port Canaveral

With the advent of Summer comes the season of cruising! And cruise deals are everywhere.

Port Canaveral is located about one hour east of the Orlando International Airport and an hour-and-a-half southeast of Sanford International. Travelers find amazing offers and luxurious service from the top cruise lines sailing from this port: Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Lines, and Carnival Cruises.

Our drivers are on-call to serve you! We can help you find the very best prices for transfers from the airport (or airport hotel) to the cruise port to meet your ship. By comparing prices and service levels, you can find the best in transportation options from Orlando to Port Canaveral terminal.

Many of our clients choose to fly in the day before and stay overnight before heading to the port to board their cruise ship. We offer transport from Orlando airport hotels direct to the port, but we also take travelers to Cocoa Beach hotels from the airport, then pick them up at the ship for their return trip.

And if you want to add a few days at Disney or Universal Studios before or after your cruise – no problem! Just enter your trip details on our quick & easy quote page to get the best pricing on your entire trip. Click the link in the menu above to get your free quote now!
