Where do you get picked up at MCO Terminal C?

Where is the MCO airport Uber pickup location at Terminal C?

Uber and Lyft pick up on the Level 6 Arrivals Curb at Terminal C, and Uber's airport page puts the spot outside doors C48 and C50. Pick up your bags first, then walk out the nearest door. An UberXL seats up to 6, so a group of 7 or more needs two cars.

Orlando airport pickup at Terminal A (and B)

At Terminal A, bag claim carousels 1 to 16 and the rideshare curb are on Level 2. Taxis, shuttles, the LYNX city bus and resort transportation are one floor down on Level 1. Terminals A and B are opposite sides of one building, only 525 feet across, so meeting someone between them is easy.

How MCO airport meet and greet works at Terminal C

MCO's official meeting point for Terminal C is the Meet and Greet Area on Level 6, inside the terminal by bag claim. International passengers walk out of Customs straight into it.

MCO also suggests meeting at your airline's carousel, on the Level 6 curb or at a pre-security cafe or shop. Family members can apply for an Experience MCO Visitor Pass to wait airside in Terminal C. Cars may not sit at the curb, so drivers picking up on their own are sent to the free Cell Phone Lot.

What a JOB pickup at Terminal C looks like

4. Find your name. Your driver meets you inside the terminal with a name sign.

Flying in from abroad? At Terminal C, bags come first

Terminal C is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection "Bags First" facility: you collect checked bags before passport control, not after. You then exit Customs into the Meet and Greet Area and domestic bag claim on Level 6.

Global Entry kiosks and the CBP Mobile Passport app are available for eligible passengers. Customs waits vary from day to day, so a driver who waits for you inside matters most here.

Terminal C is home to Aeromexico, Avianca, Copa and Iberia, so many arriving families speak Spanish. Ask for a Spanish-speaking driver, and you can sort out bags, car seats and a grocery stop in Spanish. Guía del aeropuerto de Orlando en español.

Orlando airport luggage pickup delays: how long to allow

MCO tells anyone picking up a passenger to allow at least 20 minutes after the plane lands, or 40 minutes if the passenger has checked bags. That covers the walk from the gate to bag claim; international arrivals at Terminal C also clear Customs after collecting their bags.

• Text your driver from the plane with your bag count, so nobody guesses.
• Check the Level 6 screens for your carousel number before you look for your driver.
• Bag missing? Report it to your airline at bag claim before you leave the terminal, then let your driver know.

How do you get from Terminal C to Terminals A and B?

Take the Terminal Link train between the Train Station and Terminal B, a 4-minute ride that runs 24 hours, plus a walk of about 1,200 feet through Parking Garage C. Or ride the 24-hour shuttle bus between Terminal C Level 1, space C272, and Terminal B Level 1, space B65.

To walk to the Train Station, exit Terminal C on Level 4. This matters when a group lands in two terminals, for example grandparents on Southwest into Terminal A and the family on JetBlue into Terminal C. Agree on one meeting point before you fly, send us both flight numbers, and read how to get from MCO to Disney World with a group for the full plan.

What does a private ride from MCO Terminal C cost?

A private JOB ride from Terminal C to Walt Disney World starts at $99 for up to 6 riders: one flat price per vehicle, the same from Terminal A, B or C. Prices are one way, with tolls and MCO airport fees included and gratuity optional. Book your return at the same time and save a step.

Port Canaveral is about 42 to 45 miles from MCO, roughly 45 to 60 minutes via SR 528 depending on traffic. Luggage space: the SUV fits your luggage, and the 14-passenger van fits your luggage (we confirm the fit when you book).

Per-person math: Terminal C to Disney for 6, 12 or 14 people

Shuttles charge per person; a private van charges per vehicle. Mears Connect costs $17.60 per adult plus a 6% fuel surcharge, about $18.66, and takes 30 to 60 minutes with resort stops. See our Mears Connect guide for how it works.

Mears charges less for children 3 to 9 ($14.30 plus the fuel surcharge), so check your own mix. At the rates above, a family of 6 pays about the same as the shuttle, while 12 or 14 riders pay less and ride together, with every bag and no stops at other resorts. See every rate, or start with MCO ground transportation for all your options.

Why families and groups landing at Terminal C ride with JOB

Heading home: Terminal C drop-off
