Uber at airport
We’re flying in to Terminal C at MCO. is there a specific place to pick up an Uber? Also, how good is the Uber service at the airport?
Thanks
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is well set up for rideshare services like Uber. The airport has designated rideshare pickup areas at each terminal, including Terminal C.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Pickup Location: After collecting your luggage, follow signs for “Rideshare / TNC” (Transportation Network Companies). For Terminal C, the designated Uber pickup is on the Ground Transportation Level outside the terminal. You will typically need to walk a short distance from baggage claim to the rideshare area.
- App Coordination: Make sure to request your Uber via the app before heading to the pickup area. The app will guide you to the correct pickup zone and provide the driver’s car make, model, and license plate.
- Service Quality: Uber service at MCO is generally reliable, with short wait times (usually 5–15 minutes depending on traffic and time of day). Pricing is similar to other parts of Orlando, but expect slightly higher rates during peak hours, holidays, or special events.
Additional tips:
- Have your phone charged and ensure location services are enabled so the app can accurately match you with the driver.
- Double-check the pickup spot in the app, as sometimes drivers may be at slightly different points within the rideshare area.
- If traveling with a lot of luggage, consider requesting an UberXL for extra space.
Overall, Uber at MCO is a convenient and safe way to reach your hotel or destination, especially if you prefer not to rent a car or use airport shuttles.
