Millions of visitors come to Orlando, Fl each year. The Orlando International Airport (MCO) is one of the busiest airports in Florida. It offers nonstop service to/from more then 100 destinations worldwide: Europe, Canada, South and Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

Since getting in and out of the airport can be quite frustrating, you should arrange your transportation in advance. Last minute decisions can always lead to confusion, which are best avoided if possible.

Your options: 

1 - BUS

This is typically the least common choice of Orlando airport transportation since it is the least convenient. But if you're in no rush, don't have too much luggage and looking to save some cash, the local bus system will get you into the city for around $2 each per one-way trip.

Bus 111 operates from Orlando International every 30 minutes to a mini-interchange near the Convention Center on International Drive (about 35 minutes) and then on to DownTown Disney (about 55 minutes) and to Disney's Transportation & Ticket Center (1hr, 10 minutes).  Bus 42 also runs from the airport every 30 minutes (hourly Sundays) and serves much of International Drive.  Other areas can be reached either by other direct routes or by making transfers (free).  Visit www.golynx.com for more information.

2 - TAXI

Taxi is a very popular option. There are many companies that offer transportation services to and from Orlando Airport. Try too organize your transportation before you arrive to Orlando.
Suggestions:
If you choose a different company check if it is permitted by Orlando Airport Authority.If you have no time to plan your transportation in advance, Mears could be the best option for you. When you arrive at Orlando International Airport, you'll find the Mears counters in two locations: on level two and one. You can choose Mears shared shuttle or a taxicab. Waiting time - up to 1 hour. For lower transportation rates, please book ahead of time.
3 - RENTAL CAR
Renting a car is a very common option to get to your destination from the airport, especially for families who would like to explore the city on their own. MCO has several car rental companies that are accessible on-site (terminals A and B): AvisAlamoBudgetDollarNational.
CONS: gas expenses, parking fees, paying for insurance, have to buy/rent a GPS or constantly use a map, not enough space for luggage (from/ to airport).

There are numerous options for your travel from the airport or throughout the Orlando area. Ease of travel is one major factor of a vacation.  Planning ahead is one of the best things you can do to ensure that you have a safe and fun vacation.
