- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- In this comprehensive guide we walk in your shoes as if you have just arrived at the airport and show you how to use three of the main transportation options.
The vlog covers Ride Share (Uber, Lyft),Mears Connect and Rental cars.
We will guide you through the airport from arrivals showing you how to use each of these transportation options.
Next we show you where to pick up your Visitor Toll Pass if you plan to pick up a rental car.
Ride with us as we drive both the North and South routes to the airport, showing you the best roads to take depending if you are staying in the Universal, Disney or International drive areas.
We will explain you how to use the E-Pass/ Sun pass toll system and how it works on the road.
The vlog concludes by driving back to the airport to show you where and how to return your Rental car. We hope you find the information useful

If you pre-book with Alamo you go straight to the line of cars and simply choose the one you want in your category. The keys are always in the cars, so if you see one you like you simply take the keys and continue looking. If you find one you like more you keep the key and simply return the keys to the one you looked at first. Simples. The main thing you want is one with a built-in Satnav, which since Covid are few and far between (where the Satnav has been activated).Otherwise you go back to paying for a Satnav like it was back in the day. Alternatively you can use your phone as a Satnav if you can afford the Data charges.
We arrived in Florida last night and hadn't hired a car here for a fair few years - we watched this before we came and made it smoothly out of the airport and to Disney so thank you 😊 really appreciate videos like this!
That is awesome! So happy it was helpful to you
This is a great video Barry, very helpful especially to first time visitors. we did the same showing the route from MCO to Wishes Villa for our guests using the North Exit, using the 528, I4 (yes, I know), Osceola Pwy, Sherberth Rd and the US 192.. Top Job.
Thank you so much for this vlog Bazza. Really usefully. I will be watching it a few times.👍
Appreciate it
Great vlog so good to see a visual drive from the airport and the bits of advice on using the lanes and junctions to look out for. 🙂
Thank you
This is such a handy vlog, was in that airport approx 4 years ago and I am going on 1st June again. Was great to see it all and refresh the memories....thanks again c
Glad it was helpful!
Hi 👋 guys, absolutely loved this vlog! Thank you for sharing and all the effort you have put in. Can’t wait to watch the next one. Take care ❤️❤️
Thank you !
Very informative! Wasn't aware of the Toll Pass! 🥰
It's a great thing to get, will save you $$$
Fantastic vlog one of the best we have seen and very informative. You have identified everything tourists need to know and will make arriving and returning to the airport hassle free. We'll done Mr and Mrs Bazza, keep the vlogs coming.
Thank you, it took a lot of work, so I appreciate it was helpful .
So glad you people are on here I’m coming for the 1st time in sept. Your content is invaluable 👍👍👍
Appreciate your comment !!
great video as always a great help for new and old visitors to orlando. hopefully you can do a terminal c video in the future like this one (we believe British Airways are going to use it) take cares guys looking forward to your next vids
How kind and thoughtful of you both to put so much time and effort into a very useful vlog,I'm sure it will be most helpful to many people in times to come...well done.
Oh man I could just eat some cheesecake factory dessert, they were the best I've ever eaten. Great vlog Mr & Mrs Bazza 😊 xx
It was quite a lot of work to put it all together, so thank you for appreciating the effort.
Thanks for your video guys. Watched 3 times. Going in aug. Feel a bit better now. We came to your channel via Nick and leigh. Thanks agin.
Thank you for watching
As someone who has never drove in Orlando before I found that very useful, thank you Barry
Thank you , that was the mission of creating the vlog to help first time drivers as many will be trying this now.
Thanks for all the information. Lots to think about for our arrival next month. 😎
I tried to cover all options
Thanks for this... very helpful vlog ☺️
Thank you
I was worried about the drive from the airport but you but me at ease…. Really helpful vlog
Great , glad it helped !
What a great idea for a video. So useful. Only wish we had has this back in 2017.
🖤
You can use it when you come see your Uncle and Aunty !
very informative, had never heard of that toll pass thing until earlier this week, we've always just paid cash, but that sounds so much easier. We'd prefer to get a car for a next trip
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!
Hi Mr & Mrs Bazza 👋 much appreciate the effort you both went to making this Vlog (and all the others too) This is prob one of the most informative I've seen 👍 Hubby and I often confused with speed limits and road signs 🤯 Always nervous on the first drive of a rental car but settle in eventually 😀 Dreading the Diverging Diamond I've read about 💩 I think we'll probably end up having to use it as staying near Ronald Reagan highway and championsgate.
Remember to take it slowly and avoid busy roads like i4. Stick to the side roads even if it's longer, google or apple maps on your phone will help you
Love this guys. A unique idea I’ve not seen anyone else put together. Especially not with this level of detail! Well done. Can I order a ride from MCO with you guys, do you have an app 😂. Great job 🙌🏼
I have had this in my head for a year . As you know it takes a while to find the time to do it. Doing it again I would have split into two , MCO to Disney and MCO to Universal but as you know you only realize theses things once you are at the editing stage . Rather than trash it I decided to let it ride. Of course now I have requests for similar vlogs for Tampa and Melbourne :-)
As a American from Boston Massachusetts living in Orlando Florida for many years.. your info is very good! Spot on! 🇺🇸
Orlando traffic is dangerous as we have all the tourist from all over the world, the Orlando locals and all the American transplants from all the other 49 states! Makes for a lot of different types of driving!
Yes it’s crazy and unpredictable . The only place in the US I have been where traffic is even worse is Atlanta , but that because of all the congestion and the speed people drive at
Great vlog 👏👏
Thank you
Just showed Andy this and he said it’s a really good one to recommend to guests who have never driven in Orlando. I was shocked by the line at Dollar car rental we have never seen one this long. I wonder if Virgin are doing a deal with Dollar. We usually use Alamo
Super handy video mate were thinking about hiring a car on next trip so thankyou.Hope you and mrs bazza have a great weekend , from cromer norfolk england 🙂👍
Thank you for watching
Excellent vlog very informative . We always take the wrong exit when leaving airport. Thanks for the tip about sunpass
Thanks, I hope they are helpful
Very interesting and informative vlog. Very helpful and informative. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
very helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful vlog. We always seem to exit out of the wrong terminal! We get to the hire cars and everyone else on our flight has left 😂 Will get the Sunpass pass too as didn’t know you could do that.
The visitor toll pass will save you money
We do pre registration online so just get what car we want, show voucher credit card and driving licences easy. Years ago we used to have to put 50c to 75c in a bucket sometime we made it sometimes we didn’t. Thankfully we now have toll passes so we can just drive. Alamo have keys in the car you just go to what size you want, make sure you look around the car before you leave any dent scratches report it and take pictures.
Great advice
Can’t wait to fly Wednesday and see family. We have a villa, if virgin ever tell us what and where we need to go for it.
Thank you for taking the time to show us, I can find my way around Orlando without to much trouble but I do not like leaving the airport as I’m never sure which exit leaving but then I have the same issue when going back to the car rental. So again thanks we do appreciate it.
Glad it helped
Brilliant vlog, the best information I have seen so far. If you get the visitor toll pass do you just drive through the tolls that have sunpass signs above them or are they for a different toll pass scheme. Also I've read that there can be a lot of hidden extras when hiring a car - are there any pitfalls to watch out for. Thanks
Yes just drive through any lane that says sunpass above it. They try and upsell you on insurance, extra drivers and upgrades to larger cars
Great vlog and very handy. Must have taken a while to get all the footage
We might have cheesecake 😳, might?!?!? 😂
It was a doozy to edit. I can tell you that :-)
It's worth pointing out that you can use the E-PASS lanes even if you don't have a pass as they give you 24 hours to buy a pass and activate it, then the tolls will be added retrospectively. So if you do end up in the SunPass lane it's not the end of the world.
Must admit getting in and out of mco is a pain! Unless I'm doing something wrong lol. Hate having to try getting across 2 or 3 lanes of traffic.definitely going to look at alternative routes to championsgate than the I4
Avoid the I4 at all costs was our motto
Thank you for such an informative vlog. Heading your way at the beginning of May. Intending to take Uber or Lyft from the airport to Disney. As a fellow Tyke like to get value for money . Are both companies about the same price wise
They do differ slightly , I stick with Uber as I earn credits to use with them. Lyft offer a similar program
Mr & Mrs Bazza ,
Well done a very thorough
video plenty of detail .
Please tell me what day of the week and time did u film it ?
The airport was busy enough
Thx again .
Christy 🇮🇪/🇵🇹 👍
We filmed this on Sunday Feb 20th , about 1pm
Hi, great vlog. Don’t suppose you will be doing something like that for Melbourne airport 😁
Flying into there in November. Think Tui flights start landing 22nd March. I know the journey to Kissimmee is quite easy on the 192 but dreading the airport and rental car pick up.
If we get enough interest / views this one we could do one for Melbourne
Great vlog as always guys, just a little advice please, staying at Windsor Hills in January would you recommend coming off at 3 for Disney or come off at 2 for Celebration onto the 192 to Windsor hills, just asking traffic wise as this will be around 5pm time, Thanks
Probably 2 for Disney but I would check on Google maps at the time incase of accidents backing things up
Good vlog as always and informative.
We are staying on the 27,whats the best way to universal from there as I saw a vlog of yours where you travelled on a different road to the I4.
Thanks for watching
This was such a great video, thank you for sharing all your tips it’s been so helpful 🙏😊
i am heading to Orlando next may and been a bit apprehensive of hiring a car as they are left hand drives.
Is it really so easy to readjust to being on the opposite side of the car?
Not really. The best tip I can give is that the steering wheel always goes nearest to the white lines in the middle of the road. If you have never driven on the wrong side before, I advise you get an uber or taxi from the airport and hire a car locally near your hotel/ Villa, so your first experience is not on the motorway
@@ThemeParkBazza Ohhh that is such a good tip to not hire straight from the airport 😊 i have been very apprehensive about driving when i visit but it definitely something i would love to experience so that is what i shall do, Thank you for taking the time to reply and being so helpful.
This is great , whenever we leave the airport the sat nav does not seem to kick in straight away .
I know right, by the time it does you are already committed on the road you have taken
Good, informative video. Feedback from us - when filming the drive from the airport we don't gain anything when you film you sitting in the car - all the value is from the footage filmed through the windscreen.
Understood , we are just trying to break it up a bit from continuous road shots .
We always rent a car that you can pick up from the actual airport, don’t like having to get a bus after a long plane journey. Andy usually goes ahead to get in line at the car hire while I stay with cases
Smart move
I've just come home today from my holiday in Orlando. We went through terminal C. It was a breeze.
We went, though it the other week it was the same apart from the atrocious parking
Thank you! I have a question about the rental car. Are you saying to skip the indoor car rental counters to avoid the long line? So just follow the signs to where the cars are actually and go the counter there? Thank you!
Yes that’s exactly what I mean, go to the counter in the car park
That’s a proper Lancashire accent if I ever heard one! Blackburn?.
Great video mate also 👍👍
Barnoldswick, about 20 miles away, + 17 years of living in the USA
@@ThemeParkBazza Wow brilliant. My friend lives in Barnoldswick, it’s very nice there end of the M65. Great yoy love the US now anyways 👍! Wish I could move there to be honest but it’s so difficult to find a way to get over there.
It was a 15 year journey to get to Orlando, hard work , some luck and Northern determination
@@ThemeParkBazza ha ha brilliant!
My parents had a house down the 27, Hampton lakes and still have a few friends there. If you have any tips on how to get over there please let me know. Thanks again 🙏
A few folks are trying, will let you know what I hear back
Great vlog, so informative, thank you. I'll definitely make my way to the 417 South. Can I ask, we're flying into MCO and back from Tampa. Can I still use the toll pass?
You can use the toll pass but you can only pick it up and drop it off at MCO not TPA
@@ThemeParkBazza Thank you!
Thank you. Cracking vid as usual. We've got a villa at Haines City; would you recommend going via 417 because of I-4 congestion? Thanks again.
We follow one simple rule, “avoid the I4 at all costs “ . 417 is a good option from Haines City
@@ThemeParkBazza Thanks for that. Hope I4 gets better after all the construction (but seriously doubt it). Keep on enjoying ths sunshine.
Bazza grat idea for a vlog. 1st question if you have precooked your car where do you go to skip that huge line?.
Because you can go straight to pick your car up as opposed to having to wait for someone to talk to
@@ThemeParkBazza oh that makes sense. Again greatly
"
Thank you once again for such an informative vlog!! It must have taken a lot of time and effort to put this together! Glad I stumbled across your channel 😃
It took a lot of work, think it took me two full solid days to edit it . I appreciate you appreciating that !!
Just watching it you can tell how much work went it to it ! You and Maxine are doing an amazing job ! Doing things that others aren’t doing ! And doing it well 😃
cant believe the ques for rentals ive been quoted 2k for a mustang for two weeks in june
Car companies sold off their cars when COVID hit to stay in business. There are still a lack of cars around, hence the price hike
Great video. Just a comment on filling car up if needed on return. We used 7 eleven on McCoy Rd which is off 417.

Thanks , good feedback
Hi there could I ask what Melbourne Airport is like now was over last October and coming over again this October is there been many changes
They have upgraded the terminal past security, but we cannot see it as you have to be flying to see the changes
@ThemeParkBazza Thanks for getting back. Last year the duty free area was an absolute disgrace. Honestly 3 small stalls fingers crossed its bigger this year
No body actually showing Alamo pick up at
The Melbourne . Do they pick ur car or do you pick from the row like mco ? If you go again it would be a good one to show because it’s costing over £1200 for a two week car rental at Alamo Melbourne 😃
That I am not sure about as we never hire a car there. A lot of members of our FaceBook group have flown in to Melbourne so they may be able to help if you join the group and ask the question facebook.com/groups/themeparkbazza
@@ThemeParkBazza thank you for the reply x
You don't explain about what you do about prebooked cars. People who have reserved a car and paid for it, do we join the long queue? Or is there a place just for prebooked and paid for cars.
You would need to join the long queue unless you have joined that rentals company preferred program ( a loyalty program that’s normally free) . Those preferred members can normally go pick a car up directly or go to the members check in in the car pick up area
Why is it so expensive to hire a care in Orlando, previously hired a car for 14 days £400!
The car companies sold off all their cars when COVID hit to stay in business as no one was traveling . They still do not have enough cars in stock so prices rocketed
Alamo have stopped you pre-booking your car unless you book direct with them (you can't book through Alamo Brits etc) You can pre book direct with Alamo, at a higher cost, otherwise you now have to visit the desk inside the Airport. Car allocated at the desk, no more choosing the one you want, unless you pay for the privilege. Not looking forwards to that tbh.
Is it the same if it's not a rental car? I am asking for a friend.
Yes :-)
I was only kidding, obviously; the video was very well done. I actually find it interesting that with all the technology at our disposal, just how much of a hard time people still have with things like this. Gone are the days of stopping at the gas station before a road trip and grabbing old McNally.
I remember having the back seat pockets of the car full of maps and planning out a journey
@@ThemeParkBazza good times!
Not seat belt on !
Always a seat belt on!
