Orlando Sanford (SFB) Airport Car Service

Orlando Sanford (SFB) Airport Car Service

Orlando Sanford International is the airport a lot of Florida regulars actually prefer. It's not as big as MCO, the lines are shorter, and the drive into Sanford or Lake Mary is quick. SFB sits about 18 miles northeast of downtown Orlando in Seminole County, and it handles around 3 million passengers a year — most of them on Allegiant Air, TUI Airways from the U.K., Sun Country, Avelo, or one of the Canadian leisure operators that swing in for the winter season.

That's a strange traveler mix — British families on a two-week Disney trip alongside Lake Mary executives popping in for a meeting — and ground transportation here has to handle both. We do. Union Limousine runs chauffeured Florida airport car service across the state, and SFB is one of the airports where pre-booking really pays off. Rideshare drivers don't always show up for Sanford on off-Allegiant days, and Customs at the international terminal can dump three plane-loads of luggage onto one curb at the same time. We plan around that.

Reliable Transportation to and from SFB

Most flights into SFB cluster into morning and evening windows, which is when the curbside chaos peaks. We watch your flight in real time, so the driver is already in the commercial pickup lane when you reach baggage claim. For TUI and other international arrivals, we track Customs release times, not just gate times — that's a meaningful difference when you're moving a family of five with a week's worth of luggage.

On the corporate side, Lake Mary and Heathrow are 10 to 15 minutes from the airport, which makes SFB the smarter pick for a one-day meeting at AAA's headquarters or any of the offices on International Parkway. We've got standing accounts with several of the firms in that corridor — same driver every visit, monthly billing, and a guaranteed pickup window even when Allegiant lands two flights at once.

Why Choose Our SFB Car Service

It comes down to the same thing every time — when you book us, you know exactly what's going to happen. The driver's name is in your inbox. The vehicle is assigned. The price doesn't change. There's no app waiting game and no last-minute cancellation while you're standing on the curb with kids and luggage.

• Fixed pricing with no surge — your quote is the price, even on a Saturday afternoon TUI arrival when curbside is at its worst.
• Flight tracking on every booking — domestic, international charter, late-night Allegiant. Your pickup adjusts automatically.
• Drivers who know SFB's two terminals — Terminal A for domestic, Terminal B for international, with Customs hall timing factored in.
• Vehicles sized for the trip — Sprinter capacity for U.K. family arrivals with two-week luggage, sedans for Lake Mary executives.
• 24/7 dispatch — late-night TUI arrivals and pre-dawn Allegiant departures, every day of the year.

If you've ever waited 40 minutes in the rideshare queue at SFB after a TUI flight, you already understand the value. We're priced competitively against the alternatives once you factor in surge, group sizing, and reliability.

Our Fleet Options

Vehicle choice depends on the trip. Here's what we run regularly out of SFB:

• Executive sedans — Lake Mary corporate transfers, solo arrivals, couples heading to a Disney resort.
• Luxury SUVs — families of three to five with theme-park luggage, U.K. and Canadian charter arrivals, executives needing extra space.
• Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans — TUI and Allegiant group arrivals, multi-family villa rentals in Reunion or ChampionsGate, corporate delegations.
• Coach buses — convention groups, school and church trips to Disney or Universal, multi-bus cruise transfers to Port Canaveral.

Popular Routes and Nearby Areas We Serve

Most SFB requests fall into a handful of patterns. Below are the routes we run most often, with rough drive times in normal traffic:

• Walt Disney World Resort and Disney resort hotels — about 50 to 60 minutes via I-4 West.
• Universal Orlando, CityWalk, Epic Universe, and on-site Loews hotels — about 45 minutes.
• International Drive, ICON Park, and the Orange County Convention Center — about 45 minutes.
• Lake Mary and Heathrow corporate corridor (AAA, Fiserv, Colonial Group, Deloitte) — about 10 minutes.
• Sanford historic downtown, Lake Monroe, and the Sanford Riverwalk — about 10 minutes.
• Altamonte Springs, Longwood, and Winter Park — about 25 minutes.
• Kissimmee, Lake Buena Vista, and the Celebration resort area — about 55 minutes.
• Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach — about 55 minutes via I-4 East and I-95.
• Port Canaveral cruise terminals and Kennedy Space Center — about 65 minutes via FL-417 and FL-528.
• Orlando International (MCO) cross-airport transfer for split itineraries — about 45 minutes.

If you're trying to choose between SFB and MCO for a Disney trip, the trade-off is pretty simple. SFB is roughly 25 minutes farther from the parks but often a lot cheaper to fly into. We've handled the airport car service end of that math for years — fly in cheap, ride in comfortable, save the difference.

Book Your Ride to and from SFB

Booking is straightforward. Send us your flight, your destination, and the size of your party. Union Limousine confirms with the driver's name, vehicle, and exact rate. Pay after the trip, or set up a corporate account if you're flying through SFB more than a couple times a month.

For TUI charter arrivals, we recommend booking at least a week ahead — those flights all land in tight windows and capacity gets snapped up. For Disney-bound families on a Saturday morning Allegiant, 72 hours is usually enough. Lake Mary corporate accounts can be arranged with a single phone call.
