Charter bus rental in Orlando

Charter bus rental in Orlando circles three places: the airport, the theme parks and the cruise port an hour east. Each one has its own rules for where a bus can stop.

Charter bus rental for Disney and Universal park days

Most coach work here is park traffic. Disney lists buses under oversized vehicles in theme park parking. Universal valet does not take buses; they use the designated bus and RV parking. Epic Universe has a separate entrance, so name the exact park.

Parks empty all at once at closing. Set a return time and a fixed meeting point in the lot. Decide whether the coach waits all day or goes back to the hotel between runs, since waiting hours are part of the quote.

Meeting a group at MCO

At Orlando International, pre-arranged pickups work from Level 1 Ground Transportation. International arrivals do not use the domestic spot: they exit to the meet and greet on Level 6 of Terminal C. Tell us which terminal each flight uses.

Buses hold near the Cell Phone Lot until called, so have the group leader call once every bag is off the belt.

Port Canaveral cruise transfers

From MCO, Port Canaveral is about 45 miles. Each commercial vehicle that serves the port must carry a Canaveral Port Authority permit, and every fare is pre-arranged and pre-paid. Loading zones allow 15 minutes, so the group must be off and moving quickly.

Avoid a same-morning flight into a sailing. Fly in the day before if you can.

Convention shuttles on International Drive

Many I-Drive hotels sit close to the Orange County Convention Center on International Drive. A hotel loop timed to the session schedule usually beats one big morning run.

Day trips: Kennedy Space Center to St. Augustine

Kennedy Space Center, Daytona Beach and LEGOLAND Florida each take 60 to 90 minutes. St. Augustine is closer to two and a half hours. School groups often pair a Kennedy Space Center education program with a coach day, which keeps the driver well inside legal hours.

Questions

Can one coach do Disney in the morning and Universal at night?

Yes, if you book the hours. Name both parks and times, and allow for traffic between Lake Buena Vista and the Universal area.

Does the operator need a permit for Port Canaveral?

Yes. A Canaveral Port Authority permit is required for all commercial ground transport at the port, so we book permitted operators for port runs.

How long from MCO to Port Canaveral?

Plan on 45 to 60 minutes on the road, plus time at the airport for bags.
