One of the biggest concerns for people using public transportation during their Orlando visit is getting to and from Orlando International Airport.
Besides taxi, buses and limousine service, there are shuttle buses that provide economical public transportation to anywhere in the Greater Orlando area.
Shuttle vans operate from Orlando International Airport to downtown Orlando and all the main tourist destinations. They are a little cheaper than taxis, and also cheaper to buy a round trip ticket.
Remember, the first thing to inquire after booking your hotel room is to check to see if your hotel offers complimentary transportation to and from Orlando International Airport. Free hotel shuttles can save you a lot, especially if you are traveling in a group.

How does the Orlando Airport Share Ride Shuttle work?
Taking the shuttle from Orlando International Airport to your hotel
Orlando Airport Shuttle vans are available on both the A and B sides of the Main Terminal, on the Ground Transportation Level (Level 1), at the Commercial Lane parking spaces:
A9-A10 and A36-A37
B9-B10 and B40-B41
The service is first come first serve. Once the van is full, the driver will drop off passengers in order of the closest destination point to the furthest. If your hotel is the furthest away from the airport, you will have to wait for the other share ride passengers to be dropped off at their respective hotels before arriving at your hotel.
Taking the shuttle from your hotel to Orlando International Airport
When heading back to the airport, the shuttle driver picks up passengers in order from the hotel furthest from the airport to the closest. Your pick-up time will depend on the relationship between your hotel and how many other share passengers will be picked up and their respective hotels. If you are the furthest away from the airport, you will be picked up relatively early to your flight time and will have to visit other hotels to pick up share passengers before arriving at the airport. Always call ahead to make pickup arrangements.
Note: Tips are greatly appreciated for excellent service. The customary gratuity for this type of service is 15-20%. Some exclusive rides already include tips.
