How far is the rideshare pickup at MCO? Depends on what terminal your plane arrives at. At A/B the rideshare area is quite close to the luggage pickup. At Terminal C, nothing is near anything--so be prepared!I'm on the fence on dealing with lyft/uber or booking ahead for a town car. Following this thread to see if it sways me one way or the other. We don't have rideshare in our tiny little town and we have no experience with it other than using a Minnie Van from resort to resort on our last trip. How far is the Uber/Lyft pick from the luggage pick ups? And with the town car service, is that where you see the driving holding up your name at the airport? Not sure if these questions will help the original poster, but I'm hoping because I'm in the same boat. Actually, a boat to WDW would be awesome!
I’ve had the same experience with Uber/ Lyft. I was very anxious about getting into a rideshare alone the first time I used it (between some issues in my past and my chronic anxiety life is FUN sometimes ).I've used Uber at least 5 or 6 times as a solo female, and I've always felt very safe. They send me a description of the car, including the license plate, which I always check both ways. The drivers have always been polite and respectful. Before I used Uber the first time, I was a little uncomfortable about it because that's the way I am! But now I wouldn't hesitate to use them.
As much as I love rideshare the math and assorted logistics don’t always work out for us vs car service either.Thanks, everyone. I've never used Uber/Lyft or a taxi. I looked up prices and according to Google (which I know may not be totally accurate) it says ride share is about $40-$80 each way (I'd assume closer to $40) and taxi is $60-$80 each way. Florida Town Car Service is $115 round trip and will meet me right at baggage claim. For me having things all set up is worth the bit of extra money.
