Shuttles or Town Car services to hotels

[Rosebud]

I know how to get from MCO to WDW, but nothing about CA.

Are there shuttle services? Are there town car services? Taxi's I'm guessing would be the most expensive option.

This is the one recommended to me as I was doing research on the DL trip. http://www.supershuttle.com

The rate to Disneyland is $10 each way from SNA, $15 each way from LAX, $33 from LGB, and $39 from ONT.

I'm sure there are some other options our resident DL experts can share as well.

We have used the Super Shuttle, and found it to be very convenient. The cost is reasonable, and they are just about always ready to go. I think we had to wait about 10 minutes at SNA before the driver was ready. The only caution I have is that they will try to maximize thier trips, so you may have a residential drop off along the way to DL. Not a really big thing, just be aware. We will certainly use them again.
JMHO, your mileage may vary

Thanks for the info.

Any recommendations for town car services? I did a search and picked a random town car service and it comes out a few dollars cheaper than the shuttle. With tip it would be a bit more, but may be worth it and I only checked one service - there may be cheaper.

Taxis from SNA would be the cheapest, but I couldn't find the price from LAX. Also, are the taxi's from LAX a preset price. When I take a taxi to/from my local airport, they quote you an exact price instead of per mile, but I know that isn't the case everywhere.

I do believe they are flying to LAX and since it is 3 people an alternative to a shuttle may be better.

I've used Supershuttle and Primetime (which I preferred) in the past when I lived in So Cal. I don't know if there is a difference between the standard shuttles (they have shuttles assigned to service specific communites, such as the San Fernando Valley) and the ones that service Disneyland.

Think of the shuttles as being similiar to using Mears, and that depending on their pickup schedule you could be assigned a pickup time hours prior to your flight. I've also had the shuttle make an extra around the airport looking for additional passengers. Add to that, the fact I was usually one of the last dropoffs, I'd get home 'hours' after my flight arrived.

Good service on the shuttles really are hit or miss. If you guys can share a car, it's your best bet. I also do NOT believe taxi's have set rates for the airport. Whenever's I've taken a cab from the airport it was on the meter, and with LA traffic that could be a hefty fare.

I agree with Robin that the taxi fare from LAX could be quite an eye opener. I think I would stick with the Shuttles.
