How to book your Orlando Airport transfers with hoppa?

We have designed our booking system to be as easy and hassle-free as possible. You don’t need to worry about complicated public transport maps or haggling with local taxi firms.

Choosing the right transport: Shuttle bus vs. Private transfer

We offer a wide range of transportation options at MCO. Your choice largely depends on your budget, group size, and how quickly you want to reach the poolside.

Private transfers

If you prefer a direct route, a private transfer is the superior choice. The vehicle is reserved exclusively for your party, taking you straight to your accommodation with no stops.

  • Best for: Families with children, business travellers, and groups.
  • Pros: Fastest route to your hotel, privacy, and a scheduled pick-up time, meaning no waiting for other flights to land.
  • Vehicle types: We offer everything from standard saloons (sedans) to private minibuses and people carriers for larger groups with plenty of luggage.

Shared shuttle buses

Our Orlando shuttle bus transfers are the most economical way to travel. You will share the vehicle with other passengers, and the bus may stop at various hotels along the way to your destination.

  • Best for: Budget travellers, solo adventurers, and couples.
  • Pros: Cost-effective and reliable.
  • Things to note: You may have a wait time of up to 45 minutes at the airport while other passengers arrive, and the journey time can be longer due to multiple drops.

Luggage and family requirements

Whatever transfer type you choose, the standard allowance is one suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per person. This is confirmed during booking, but please check that the vehicle capacity matches your needs.

  • Family travel tip: Orlando is a family destination. If you are a party of four or five with pushchairs and multiple large suitcases, a standard taxi might be a squeeze. We recommend booking a private minibus or people carrier to ensure everyone and everything fits comfortably.
