Limousines

Many people think of limousines as long black cars used for very special occasions. And they are. An airport limousine (find a reasonably-priced one here) is not that kind of vehicle. Instead, it is usually (but not always) a large car with a driver, nothing more. Typically, it is a Lincoln or Cadillac, or something a bit cheaper. It will not have alcohol or special features like television or DVD movies. It is simply a big car with a driver.When do people use limousines instead of buses or taxis? When they are willing to spend more in order to have a knowledgeable local person pick them up at the airport and do the driving, or when four or more people are traveling together. If you are traveling with 3-5 other people, a limousine is usually cheaper than a taxi, or even a bus. It will also be more comfortable, and you don’t have to compete with other travelers to get one, since you can order them before you arrive; just tell the limo company your flight number and arrival time, and the driver will be waiting for you next to the baggage carousel, holding a sign with your name on it.

TIP: It is customary to tip the driver, 10% is fine.

Mears (mentioned in the Bus section) also offers big (8 passenger) limousines and 11 passenger vans, for $120 or less, to and from the airport from just about anywhere.

Their smaller cars, called Luxury Sedans, will hold fewer passengers, but also cost less, $40 to $60 between the airport and Disney and other popular locations.
