Limo from MCO to AKL

Does anyone have a limo company to recommend from the airport to AKL? I booked one and they had $80 worth of "hidden" charges once I got the final confirmation email that I got today. I know that we could change to just a town car... but, I think the girls would just love it!

Thanks, Kristy

Quicksilver is the company we have always used. Their fees are reasonable and their drivers are very professional and nice.

Here is the website: Orlando airport transportation and Disney World transportation.

I've used Tiffany and never had any "hidden charges" -- it was a flat fee for one way or a flat fee for a round trip.

Since Disney's Magical Express service has come into the mix, I've always gone with that as it's included in the price of my resort charges and it's run very smoothly.

Good luck arranging for a more reasonable service than what you had been looking at!

We've been using Sunray for the last few years, and have been very happy with them. No hidden charges, friendly drivers...and no nasty surprises.

In my experience, at least in our area, Limo companies include the gratuity in the final bill...that's usually an additional 20% of the rate charged.....and some have a fuel surcharge as well...not to mention costs for tolls, etc....IMO, those are reasonable expenses, anything above that, and I'd question it...did you contact the compay and discuss it?

Another vote or Quicksilver. They're very professional & provide excellent service. We're going to use them again next April. we've tried DME a couple of times & prefer Quicksilver.

We have used Happy Limo numerous times and have always been very pleased with the service. The prices are competitive and they will match any competitors price, should you find one that is lower. I highly recommend them!!

Just FYI. Quicksilver covers all tolls and there is no extra fuel surcharge. You should tip the driver...20% is the standard tip. You would tip DME driver as well, so really no hidden charge.

We're looking forward to trying Quicksilver in Nov/Dec based on the advice of many a passporter on these boards.
We had a terrible experience with Happy Limo last year and will never use them again.

Another thumbs-up for Quicksilver. The drivers are always polite, professional and good-humored. Also like how they seem to be able to engage the teenagers in our family when the rest of aren't having any luck!
Just a sidebar--the last time we used them my two teen boys thought that the driver looked like "The Rock" aka Wayne Johnson. Anyway, we're always pleased with Quicksilver.

We have used both Tiffany and Quicksilver and both were stellar. The past 3 visits we used Quicksilver as their cars seem to be a bit less dented than Tiffany. Drivers for both companies have been fantastic and very professional.
No hidden costs. Like another poster mentioned, there is the 20% gradituity included in the price but we have never been surprised by this as they make it clear up front.
I prefer Quicksilver for above reasons and also because they send out an email newsletter with promotions which is nice.

Good luck!
