Transfer advice

Hi all, looking for advice on transfers from MCO to POFQ and back.

We were quoted around £200 by the travel company or £90 for a shared shuttle.

Just wondering what others do and would a Lyft be any cheaper?
Or any other companies people recommend that are more reasonable?

You can put the ride into lyft / Uber to get an idea of prices. I just put in MCO to POFQ for right now and it was just under $40

I can't give a review but we're looking at Orlando Transporation by Mike - We just got quoted $190 exc. gratuity for a private transfer round trip from MCO > Caribbean Beach, with a 30 minute stop at Publix. Found this through Adam Hattan and his latest vlog, refer to his name when getting a quote and they'll knock some off the price!

We actually decided to look at car hire for our arrival and transfer to POFQ. We have paid £42 to pick up a car from the airport, have it for 24 hours and deliver it back to the WDW Car Care Center. We will drive straight to POFQ on arrival, keep it there overnight and go to the parks in the morning. As we only do half days anyway, we will then go to pick up some beer/water at Walmart, go for a lunch at Bahama Breeze (favourite) and return the car for the 24 hour mark. We were really happy with this plan.

For our return we have booked Mears for £16 per person. There's only two of us.

Just get an uber unless you have a massive party size, it will be a fraction of that cost.

Where did you book that? That sounds really cheap even just for a day.

We always use Mears connect, because it's what we know and it's easy to use.
It's probably not the cheapest for us, but the service is great and it's just part of our holiday now.

They seem a good price, have you used them before?
