Sanford Airport With No Car... Advice Please
Thinking of flying into Sanford, just an idea at the moment but the idea of a quieter immigration hall is very appealing if flights and prices work out. Bristol is my closest airport but if we don't travel next year we may miss out going from there to Sanford and have to go from London which may change things anyway.
My question, has anyone flown into Sanford and not hired a car, if so what did you do? Uber? Etc. to your destination. Has anyone hired a car just to get to their hotel/villa destination or is this just a waste of money? Or maybe kept the car for a few days? We're thinking of a split stay, if we did Disney on property straight off then it might be a waste having the car due to the charges. If we did Universal first would this be the same. Just looking for ideas/scenarios of other people who have maybe done this |

Hi not sure what you would do but it’s 45 mins drive if 14 is not busy. Have you considered flying to Dublin then arrive as domestic passengers.

I have used Uber from Sanford to 1 drive cost me about $45.00 but the last couple of visits i have hired a car for a couple of days at both the beginning and end of the holidays. Costs a little bit more but takes away any uncertainties for getting back to the airport.

I’d hire a car for a day and also go to the supermarket and stock up with snacks for the room.

I would hire a car for the day and return to the swan and dolphin the next day and tie it into going to epcot or hollywood studios (or keep it two days)
very handy for a supermarket shop or a meal on the way to a villa. Think we were £45 for a days hire of a SUV which fitted the cases with ease and the shopping! |

Yes I have considered this, especially for the ease of arriving as a domestic passenger. I just wasn't sure what Aer Lingus were like to fly with? We would want to go out PE if possible.
The return journey however we would like to return to Bristol or London because it would be easier getting back to Cardiff as the flight times from Dublin to Cardiff aren't great. |

Thank you all for the input.
Hiring a car for a few days and doing a shop etc seems like a really good idea. |
