I recently used Tiffany and they were great, but the driver wasn’t by baggage claim and I was led to believe they aren’t doing this at this time. Maybe my driver just didn’t want to, not sure, but he was parked out front.We've never used Happy Limo but have used Tiffany for many years and have always had great experiences. The drivers have always been on time/waiting by baggage claim and the cars have always been nice and clean.
It is a legal requirement in Orlando that car service drivers meet you at baggage claim. Anyone who doesn’t do this is not in compliance with local regulations.I recently used Tiffany and they were great, but the driver wasn’t by baggage claim and I was led to believe they aren’t doing this at this time.

That’s good to know, I had no idea.It is a legal requirement in Orlando that car service drivers meet you at baggage claim. Anyone who doesn’t do this is not in compliance with local regulations.
We are certainly doing it now. When I go to pick passengers up at the airport, there are usually 20 or so other drivers from various companies standing at baggage claim with me.That's interesting because since the Pandemic started there have been numerous reports of drivers not meeting the passengers at baggage claim.
Tony may be certified as a taxi rather than a car service. It is a requirement for all car services to do a meet and greet.Tony Hinds had me meet the driver curbside, just outside baggage claim. Vehicle was waiting.
I didn't specifically ask for meet n greet. Is that a general requirement or specific to Mears contract with MCO? A way to further differentiate Mears taxi vs towncar service

Just curious, is it a requirement to offer it, optional, or is it a mandatory service?Tony may be certified as a taxi rather than a car service. It is a requirement for all car services to do a meet and greet.
See this document. Basically, any Vehicle for Hire using the Ground Transportation Concourse (Express Pickup tunnel) must conduct a Meet & Greet.Just curious, is it a requirement to offer it, optional, or is it a mandatory service?
I think of a taxi as being metered and not reserved in advance. I understand that's not correct. Some taxis operate more like a car service.
Yes, the Ground Transportation Concourse is the parking area on level 1 next to the rental car desks.Is the Ground Transportation Concourse the parking area underneath the building? So it’s an airport requirement to meet the passenger inside in order to park in that area? So it’s not a city or county business requirement? Not exactly what you implied before.
We use Tiffany. They have parked in that area & met us inside the building prior to covid. They are NOT parking there now, so they are not doing a meet & greet. They pick up in the ride share area. So they are not breaking any local regulations.
They certainly are! I am a driver with Mears’ Luxury Division, by the way.Well, I have a family member who returned from a trip last night. I was happy to hear Tiffany was waiting inside the building for them when they arrived last week. Said there were about 7 drivers inside waiting for other passengers when they were there. So apparently things are getting back to normal.
The airport is run by an agency under the control of Orlando. An airport rule is the equivalent of a city rule. The real penalty is potential loss of airport privileges. It was clear to me an airport policy was being discussed.Is the Ground Transportation Concourse the parking area underneath the building?

Using Tiffany in a few weeks for the first time. So where should I expect them to be?
