Then you can drive up to the collection point and pick them up.
The lot has 100 spaces. There is free wireless internet service in this area too. Use SSID code “Internet”.
Express Pick/Drop Off – Only for E-Pass and SunPass users. This is a service where you can wait for your passengers in your car, or exit the car to collect them. The cost is $1.00 per 30 minutes up to 2 hours, then $5 per hour(or any part thereof). The service is open from 8am to midnight daily. The parking fees will be deducted from your E-PASS/SunPass account.
Orlando Airport Parking – Curb-side Drop Off – This is the quickest way to drop passengers off at the airport departures lounge. This is only for departures!
