Airline Connections

Orlando, one of the major tourist destinations in America, enjoys extensive airline connections (MCO) worldwide.  Being the third busiest airport in the nation, travelers to Orlando benefit from frequent promotional offers.

Local Taxi/Shuttle

If you do not rent a car at the Orlando airport, we suggest you use the same company UCF uses for ground transportation, Luxury Rides.  Their UCF contact rate is $80 each way, and they wait for you at the baggage claim inside the airport.

 If you use a cab expect to pay at least $60.
