Announcing where and how long your car will be parked on the internet. Brilliant.

supershuttle? Have a friend take you? Take the bus? Pay a little more and park at covered parking at a place that does not have a liability waiver against theft/damage.

Very very bad move... either rent a garage or whatever it takes but do not leave it in the orlando airport. I can guarantee you 100% it will be stolen or vandalized.

Option 1: A cheap flight out of JAX into MCO and do not drive to the airport (best option)

Option 2: A shuttle to MCO from Jacksonville and back ($400-ish and a ton of headaches)

Option 3: Find a storage facility in Orlando, pay for a month, and get a cab to MCO.

Option 4: One way car rentals. If you're under 25, rent a pick up from Uhaul.

Option 5: If you're insurance deductible is $500, **** it. Leave the car at the airport. There's no guarantee someone isn't going to total it for you on your drive to or from the airport. That's life.


Dude, just drive to PR.

Fortunately for OP, those exculpatory clauses aren't bulletproof.

A quick look at the airport's website shows:

Terminal Top Parking, $17 per day
All spaces are covered, and are patrolled by the Orlando Police Department - Airport Division


Just park there and stop worrying
