Universal & Seaworld without a car
Suggestions where i could stay for easy access to Universal & Seaworld when I don't have a car hire.
1 adult and 2 kids. 1 or 2 bed condo perhaps. International Drive to be handy for restaurants maybe? |

We’re staying on international drive next year. No car. We’ll be doing Disney, Universal and Seaworld. We’ll use Uber. It’s brilliant.
We’ve never hired a car and a couple of years ago we stayed at HRH for 14 nights, no Disney but we did other parks and ate offsite. We also went shopping. We used Uber the whole time. Worked out cheaper than car hire. Was convenient and worked perfectly for us and that’s why we’ll do it again. We’re staying at Rosen Plaza next year as its had great reviews on here.

Car hire is fairly cost effective, at £25-30 a day depending on car type with handiness it's a no brainier for us. Yes of course you do have some parking charges but the ability to come and go as you please is the winner.

Universal has a new budget hotel called Endless Summer, It looks good.
They have Two bedrooms and a small kitchen. It is on International Drive, Walking distance to restaurants and the I trolley to get to places like Sea World. You get all the perks of staying on a Universal resort, Like free shuttle buses to universal parks they run every few minutes all day and evening. You get early entry into Universal parks, Its all the perks except the free front of line passes that you only get with there deluxe resorts. I think this resort sounds fab for families with it having 2 bedooms rooms with kitchen and eating area.

I'd suggest staying on International Drive. You can get the I-Ride trolley bus or Lynx bus to Seaworld and get Uber/Lyft to Universal. Some hotels also provide a shuttle service to Seaworld and Universal as well.
We've stayed at the Homewood Suites and Embassy Suites in the past and these have free shuttles to Universal and Seaworld as well as being close to restaurants. Universal's new Endless Summer resorts are also a good suggestion.

Rosen Inns provide a free shuttle service to universal and runs regularly during the day.
I-trolley will get you to Seaworld and shopping outlets. Uber is cheap if you want to go a little further. |
