Uber Car Seat/Family Orlando
We will be travelling to the Orlando area with our 3 year old soon and are trying to figure out local transportation. Uber seems to have services called Uber Family and Uber Car Seat, and they are available in Orlando. However, I find conflicting information on specific availability. Their blog post from 2016 states:
SERVICE AREAS You will be able to request an uberFAMILY car in the following areas:
- MCO Airport
- Disney Theme Parks/Resorts
- I-Drive Resorts
- Universal Theme Park/Resorts
- SeaWorld Theme Park/Resorts
- Four Corners Resorts
But that's a few years ago. The issue is that those are our likely destinations, but our hotel is not in those areas. So does it mean we can get a car with car seat from airport to hotel, but not on the way back, for example?
They have a different website that does not list these area restrictions, but I don't know if their Orlando area includes Kissimmee, where we will be staying:
What to expect with UberFAMILY: In the app, move the toggle to the UberFAMILY option. If you’re at Orlando International Airport (MCO), a luxury vehicle will pick you up. If you’re anywhere else in Orlando, an uberX vehicle with a car seat will take you where you’re going.
I have contacted Uber Support and received a generic response that did not even attempt to answer this question.
Can I order an Uber with car seat anywhere in the Orlando area (including Kissimmee)?
