Orlando International Airport Transportation & Parking
Car Rentals
There are lots of ways to get to and from the airport. Going to one of the cheap MCO car rental agencies and renting a cheap MCO car is a great way to go. The usual major companies are located within the airport in both Terminals A and B on Level 1 but you'll usually get a much better deal by going to one of the cheaper MCO Independent car rental agencies located off-airport. They may be close by. They can afford to be cheaper because they don't have to pay expensive airport fees.
These agencies, of which Continental Rent A Car, Signature Rent-A-Car, Global Rent A Car of South Florida, American Car Rental are a few are independent agencies. All offer airport pickup and delivery. Just remember to bring the agency's phone number, so you can call for them to get you while waiting for your luggage. You can find them all at Orlando International page on our website, along with customer reviews and rates.
Other Transportation Choices
Bus
If you need to pick-up your cheap MCO car rental downtown, there are lots of other ways to get there. Convenient bus service leaves for downtown Orlando every 30 minutes. It is operated by the public transportation system called Lynx. This system also goes to Walt Disney World with the trip taking about 75 minutes. You can catch the Lynx bus at Terminal A on the Ground Transportation Level (Level 1).
Taxi Cabs
If you've got too much luggage for the bus or want to get to your destination faster, taxis are a good option. There are a few companies that service the airport and they can be found on Level 1 at the Main Terminal on both the A and B sides. Taxi fares from the airport are regulated by the City of Orlando which requires fares to be determined by a taxi meter. It does not authorize flat fares.
Shuttle Services
Numerous free shuttles travel between the terminals and the airport hotels. Longer trips can be made using Mears Transportation shared shuttle service. Their vans can be located at the A and B sides of the Main Terminal on Level 1. Fares are charged per person with separate round-trip and children's rates.
