Car Service to MCO -- Questions

We have an earl-ish (10:45 a.m.) flight out of MCO to come home. We normally get an afternoon flight but the cost difference was so great we opted for this one. I'm thinking if we take DME we're probably going to be looking at a 7:30-ish pick up time, which got me thinking that maybe we spring for a private town car to buy us a little extra time in the morning.

Do you think an 8:15-8:30 a.m. pick-up time sounds reasonable (travelling from GF to MCO)? Also, any suggestions for good, reliable car services? We haven't used one since the pre-DME days and back then we used Mears (but it was a shared ride in a mini-van--do they have town cars though)? Thanks!

An 8:15 pickup should get you to the airport for 8:45. That's plenty of time. We've used Tiffany Town car and they're very goo. One way to the airport is around $55 plus tip. They do use Town Cars

Hi,

The latest you could leave WDW is 8:45am (this will give you 1 1/2 hours at the airport).

We at Quicksilver usually recommend 2 1/2 hours prior to departure flight (which would give you 2 hours at the airport).

It really all depends on how many are in your party.... :-)))

My best regards,

Gregory Nicolas.
