Help with taxis

There are six of us staying at the Rosen Inn at Pointe next month. We have tickets for both Universal and the Disney parks, and have already bought two weeks worth and I-Ride and Lynx bus tickets and have researched on how to get about using these. Can anyone advise on the capacity and rough prices for taxis too though please? Do standard Orlando taxis fit six people or will we need two cars each time, and roughly how much would it cost from the hotel to the Disney transportation centre, and to CityWalk? Do they cost more after a certain time of night as in the UK?

I have the Mears and Uber apps installed ready on my iPhone.

Standard taxis don't fit six, but if you call to order one tell them and they'll send one of the correct size.

At the taxi ranks at the parks there's usually a range of sizes.

Thanks all. I already have the Uber app so will use that code, cheers monorail. I have the Mears app too but it doesn't seem to work with OS9 yet.

That's right, the standard uber 5 seats, two in front, three in back. But the driver takes one of the front seats.
