Taxis to and from Villas

Hi there

We have a villa booked in a community we have stayed at many times before - Tuscan Hills. Next year we may like the idea of a taxi to and from maybe City Walk or Millers on the 192 so the driver can have a drink - it's my Birthday so fancy a night out. What the best and approx cost (to Universal) for 7 people?

Uber XL takes up to 7 people

Fare estimator for Tuscan Hills Boulevard to Citywalk is just under $40

Search for a promo code and you'll take some of that off

We have been recently and used Lyft which I believe may be cheaper than Uber. Worked great for us, taxis only take a few mins to arrive

I have never used Uber or Lyft in my life. However, I am possibly looking at using them on a couple of occasions, for a few beers, on our trip next year.

If you have experience of using them do you think these estimators are reasonably accurate? I have just had a look and the costs from our villa on the US27 to WDW look really reasonable!

Cost estimators are, by their nature, an estimate only. I have found them to be slightly under what I actually got charged. I put this down to Uber and Lyft costing more during peak times, so I always try and use the estimator at the same time, US time of course, as I will be needing the ride. So for a 6 pm ride, I would be checking the site around 11 pm.
