There is no reservation fee. - A 20% non-refundable deposit is charged at booking and credited against the trip cost. - Cancellations made 48 hours prior to pickup receive a full credit toward a future trip. - Private vehicle bookings generally need 24 to 48 hours' advance notice; shared-ride shuttles have no lead-time requirement. - Shared-ride shuttles can require a long wait before the van fills up and begins its journey, and they stop at multiple hotels along the route. The other three classes are private and deliver you directly to your destination, including private Airbnb and residential addresses that shared shuttles do not service. - Shared-ride shuttle companies require a return pickup at least 2 hours 45 minutes before a domestic departure, and 3 hours 45 minutes before an international one. A private vehicle is booked for whatever time you choose. - Private companies can supply child and booster seats on request, often at no charge. Shared-ride shuttles do not offer them. - No currently listed company operates a wheelchair ramp or lift vehicle. - Coach buses seat up to 56 passengers. Party sizes from 1 to 56 are quoted, and a single booking can cover up to 10 separate routes. - The four service classes are Economy Shared-Ride, Economy Plus, Business Class, and First Class & Limousines. - The trip balance is charged by the transportation company you choose yourself, from a list showing prices and travelers' ratings — not by Orlando Shuttle Service. - Whether the 20% driver gratuity is charged to your card by the transportation company or tipped in cash depends on the company you select. Your confirmation states which applies to your booking. - Quotes cover Central Florida including Kissimmee, Celebration, Lake Buena Vista, Davenport, Clermont, Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral, plus major destinations across the state such as Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers. - Theme park destinations include all of Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Florida, and Legoland. - Airports quoted include Orlando International (MCO), Orlando Sanford (SFB), Melbourne Orlando (MLB), Lakeland (LAL), Tampa (TPA), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Miami (MIA) and Palm Beach (PBI). - Coverage depends on the destination's ZIP code falling inside a served rate zone. An address outside one returns no quotes rather than an estimated price. - Theme parks may charge a vehicle entrance fee, even just for passenger pickup or drop-off. - OrlandoShuttleService.com is a service of Orlando Travel Resources Inc, a registered travel agency and authorized booking agent. It does not own or operate vehicles. ## Blog - [Orlando Travel Blog](/blog): Travel advice and trip-planning notes, 14 articles published between 2013 and 2017.
