How long does it take to get to Orlando FL?

Answer 1

Getting There

Air

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is located 6 miles from downtown. Airlines at the airport include:

• ATA
• Aeromexico
• Air Canada
• Air Jamaica
• British Airways
• Delta
• Northwest
• Southwest
• United
• U.S. Airways
• Virgin Atlantic

From the Airport

Shuttles: Numerous other rental car companies have courtesy shuttles to take you to off site locations. Lynx buses 11, 41, 42, and 51 can be found on side A of the Main Terminal, commercial lanes 38-41. They operate daily from 5:30a-11:30p and depart every 30-60 minutes for downtown and International Drive. Rides, depending on traffic, last approximately 40 minutes to downtown and 60 minutes to International Drive.

Taxi: Various taxi companies operate from sides A and B: A16, A17, B20-B22 on the Commercial Lane. Mears runs shuttle service from A2 & A28, B4 & B33 of the commercial lane. Out-of-town shuttles can be found on both sides in space one of the commercial lane.

Limo: Orlando Florida Limousine provides professional limousine service around the city.

Train

Amtrak provides daily service to Orlando's train station just south of downtown (1400 Sligh Boulevard). The Silver Service Palmetto ferries passengers north and south (New York, Savannah, Miami) while the Sunset Limited operates with a western line (New Orleans, Los Angeles).

Bus

Greyhound arrives from all points of the compass to the main terminal at 555 North John Young Parkway.

Car

Interstate 4 (I-4), central Florida's main car chute, zooms through Orlando in a northeast/southwest direction. The 408 Expressway, a toll road, intersects I-4 at Orlando's southern end. Downtown's grid is easy to negotiate once you become familiar with its network of one-way thoroughfares. Because of Orlando's dramatic population surge, however, traffic, especially during morning and afternoon rush hours, borders on horrific.

Answer 2

Take the Florida Turnpike north until it ends. The Turnpike ends by merging into I-75. Stay on I-75 until you reach exits 350, 352, 354 or 358 as those are the four Ocala exits.

350 will take you to the most abundant shopping and dining area. 352 will take you to the town square.

Answer 3

Take Interstate 4 Eastbound (toward Daytona Beach). You can't miss it.

Answer 4

The easiest way to "travel" from the City of Orlando to the City of Jacksonville, Fla. and vice versa is by taking routes I-4, I-95 & I-295.
