Step by Step
How Your Terminal C Pickup Works
Terminal C has its own ground transportation area. Here's exactly what happens when you land.
You Land — We Already Know
We track your flight in real time. If you're early, delayed, or diverted, we know before you do. Your driver adjusts automatically.
Collect Your Bags at Terminal C Level 6
Head to the Terminal C baggage claim on Level 6. Your bags will arrive on the carousel just like any other terminal.
Meet Your Driver on Level 6
Your driver is waiting near the escalators and elevators on Level 6 with a greeting sign. They'll walk you to your baggage carousel and help you collect your luggage.
Walk to Your Vehicle
Your driver helps with luggage and walks you to your private vehicle on Level 1. If you have kids, car seats are already installed and ready.
Direct to Your Destination
Straight to Disney, Universal, your hotel, or anywhere in the Orlando area. Want to stop at Publix for groceries on the way? It's included — just ask.
The Problem
Rideshare Pickup at Terminal C Is Confusing
Terminal C is new, the layout is unfamiliar, and the rideshare pickup process isn't what most travelers expect.
Uber & Lyft at Terminal C
- You have to find the designated rideshare pickup zone on Level 1 — it's not where you'd expect
- Request your ride from the app, then wait at the curb for a driver to show up
- Peak arrival times mean 10-30 minute waits, standing outside with luggage and kids
- Surge pricing hits hardest during afternoon and evening arrival waves
- No one inside the terminal to help — you're on your own navigating the new layout
Private Car Service at Terminal C
- Your driver greets you on Level 6 with a sign, walks you to baggage claim, and helps with luggage
- You get a text with their name, photo, and phone number before landing
- Zero wait time — they're already there when you walk out
- Fixed pricing, no surge regardless of time or demand
- Help with luggage, car seats pre-installed, Publix stop available
