Sanford airport to Disney World prices: one flat rate per vehicle
You pay for the vehicle, not per seat, so the price is the same whether 2 or 14 people ride. Prices are one way and include SR 417 tolls and airport fees. Gratuity is optional.
- Car seats and boosters: we carry seats and boosters for each child's age and size, and they are priced when you book.
- A grocery or supply stop on the way (arranged when you book), and help with luggage and strollers.
- Book your return to SFB at the same time and save a step.
- A Spanish-speaking driver on request.
These rates cover every Walt Disney World resort, Disney Springs-area hotels and Lake Buena Vista. Every route on our rates page

Is there a Sanford airport shuttle to Disney?
No. Neither Disney nor Mears Connect runs a shuttle from Orlando Sanford International Airport, so you arrange the ride yourself. Disney's Magical Express ended on January 1, 2022 and only ever served MCO; Mears Connect does not serve SFB; and Disney's Minnie Van airport service is MCO only, for Deluxe-level guests.
| Option | One-way cost | Time | Seats per vehicle | Car seats |

| JOB private minivan, SUV or van | From $159 per vehicle, tolls included | About 1 hour, no other stops | 6, 12 or 14 | On request |

| Rental car | Daily rate plus about $8 to $12 driving cost, tolls and resort parking | About 1 hour plus counter time | Depends on the car | Rent or bring |
| SunRail train and LYNX bus | About $17 to $22 per person | About 2 hours 9 minutes | Shared | No |
Rideshare and taxi figures as reported by Resort Rat; rental and transit figures are Rome2rio estimates, checked October 2026. Rideshares, taxis and pre-arranged rides all use SFB's pickup zone directly across the street from Baggage Claim areas 1 to 3; rental counters are in the Welcome Center across the street.
What groups pay per person from SFB to Disney
| Riders | JOB vehicle | JOB price | Per person | Rideshare instead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Minivan | $159 | $39.75 | 1 car, often under $70 |
| 6 | Minivan | $159 | $26.50 | 1 XL, which costs more than a standard car |
| 8 | 12-passenger van | $229 | $28.63 | 2 XLs |
| 12 | 12-passenger van | $229 | $19.08 | 2 full XLs |
| 14 | 14-passenger van | $249 | $17.79 | 3 XLs |
With 7 or more people, one rideshare XL (up to 6 seats) is not enough, and two or three cars arrive at different times. One Ford Transit keeps everyone and every bag together for one price.
Group transportation from SFB to Disney: 12- and 14-passenger vans
Our Ford Transit vans keep a big group in one vehicle instead of two or three cars: one arrival time, one bill and one luggage plan, with kids riding beside their parents.
- Two or three families sharing a Disney trip, or grandparents, parents and kids on a multigenerational holiday.
- Family reunions headed to Kissimmee vacation homes.
- Cheer, dance and youth sports teams, and church and school groups.
For larger events, see our private group shuttle.

How far is Sanford Airport from Disney World?
Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) is about 37 to 44 miles from the Walt Disney World resort areas, depending on your hotel. The drive takes about 54 to 62 minutes, longer in heavy traffic.
Is there a shuttle from Sanford Airport to Disney World?
No. Disney's Magical Express ended on January 1, 2022 and never served Sanford (its only airport was Orlando International, MCO), and Mears Connect does not serve SFB. From Sanford you need a rideshare, taxi, rental car, public transit or a private SUV or van.
How much does transportation from Sanford airport to Disney cost?
A standard Uber or Lyft often costs under $70 (more for an XL or at surge times), and a metered taxi costs over $100. JOB Transportation charges one flat price per vehicle, tolls included, from $159 for a minivan to $249 for a 14-passenger van.
Can 12 to 14 people ride together from SFB to Disney World?
Yes. Our 12- and 14-passenger Ford Transit vans carry the whole group and its luggage in one vehicle. With 14 riders, that works out to about $17.79 per person.
Do you provide car seats from Sanford Airport?
Yes. We carry seats and boosters for each child's age and size, they are priced when you book, and we follow NHTSA guidance. Tell us each child's age when you book and we bring the right seats.
Where do I meet my driver at Sanford Airport?
SFB's designated pickup zone for pre-arranged rides is directly across the street from Baggage Claim areas 1 to 3. We confirm the details with your booking.
Can we stop for groceries on the way to our Disney resort?
Yes. We can stop at a grocery store on the way so you arrive with water, snacks and breakfast supplies (arranged when you book).
Is it better to fly into SFB or MCO for Disney World?
MCO is closer to Disney, so the ride costs less: our MCO to Disney rates start at $99, against $159 from SFB. If your fare into Sanford saves your group more than that difference, SFB is a good choice.
