There are a number of ways to get from the Orlando airport to the destination of your choice. The airport is located only three miles from downtown, so you should be there in about 40 minutes. You can take a taxi there for roughly $35 dollars, shuttle for about half that price, or hop on one of the Lynx buses for a mere $1.50. There are also Lynx buses that run to International Drive and Apopka. If you have hotel reservations, then most hotels offer a complimentary shuttle service from the airport to the hotel.

Those of you who have booked in Disney World Resort will find yourselves being shuttled to the resort in a private coach. You also do not need to worry about your baggage as those who have advanced bookings for Disney World can have their baggages directly sent to the resort, bypassing baggage claim. For those who are not staying at the resort but still want to go directly to Disney World, you can take a taxi to the famous amusement park for about US$60. Conversely, you can also take a direct shuttle to there as well. Shuttles go to International Drive, Port Canaveral, Kissimmee, Winter Park/Maitland, and Lake Buena Vista as well as the airport hotels.

You can also take a limousine from the airport to wherever you want to go, and they too are charged by the hour. If you would rather rent your own car, then Orlando has a large car rental market so you have a wide range of choices. There are at least six car rental booths located on airport grounds. There are also several other car rental companies located at the airport on the ground transportation level, but there are free shuttle services from the airport that will take you to and fro. Finally if you’re planning, to go out of the Orlando area directly from the airport, then there are a number of shuttles that service popular destinations around Florida. These shuttles are much less frequent, so booking beforehand is advised. All means of transportation are located on the ground transportation level on the A and B sides of the Main Terminal.
