Worth paying more for Car on the Drive?

We use a company called floridatransport who offer a similar service.

Have used them for several years now and cannot recommend there service enough

It's not a similar service though, it is a taxi to & from the airport and then the next morning they take you to a 3rd party car hire firm to collect your car thus negating any time you saved at the airport.
The point about COTD is it is a single point of contact throughout, you do all the paperwork etc at the villa/ hotel and then you are good to go. If you have any problems with the car or need to change your pick up time you contact COTD.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed. We are just back from our first trip and used COTD who were brilliant. We travelled with two small children and we just did not want the extra stress of queuing then navigating to villa.

Big bonus to not need a car to accommodate all our luggage and we very happy with our car.

Great tips from our friendly driver who collected us and another one who did a late villa check out so we could have more pool time.

Would definitely use again and am recommending to anyone travelling to orlando.

IMO they are similar. We stumbled across Floridatransport after being let down by COTD at the last-minute several years ago and have used them every since and have always had fantastic service from them

COTD are simply THE best at what they do without a shadow of doubt. We used them every single trip and actually took our driving test in one of their cars!

Have never driven in Florida but was toying with the idea of trying with cotd but we are going over Christmas and was thinking that maybe the traffic will be so busy for a first timer

You won't regret it, Peter and Wendy are excellent at what they do and I wouldn't use anyone else when landing at MCO. We used Avis last month as we flew into Tampa and the collection and drop off was such a hassle compared to what we were used to.

I've used them 20+ times now and have always had excellent service.

Thanks, so one of them meets us at the airport in another vehicle I presume and drives us to our accommodation where our hire car is waiting?

Yes, that's right. They will meet you by the car hire desks/second bag drop in the terminal.

They will send you an email with a link to fill in all your details of those who are driving, along with flight times, accommodation address and any additional extras you may require such as sat nav or car seats.

You will get all the information with a step by step guide nearer the time.
