Private Shuttle to Universal Epic Universe | MCO to Universal Hotels
Experience stress-free transportation from Orlando International Airport to all Universal Orlando Resort hotels. Private rides, professional drivers, and fixed rates starting at $95.
The Most "Epic" Way to Start Your Universal Vacation
Universal Epic Universe is finally here, but its separate location from the main Universal Orlando Resort means you need a reliable transportation plan. Don't waste time waiting for the SuperStar Shuttle or navigating crowded public buses. Our private shuttle to Universal Epic Universe provides a direct, luxury ride from Orlando International Airport (MCO) straight to the portals of your favorite worlds.
Whether you are staying at the brand-new Universal Helios Grand Hotel, Stella Nova Resort, or Terra Luna Resort, OrangeTrans gets you there faster so you can spend more time in Super Nintendo World or the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic.
Why OrangeTrans is the Best for Epic Universe Guests:
Direct to the Epic Campus: We know the new roads (like Epic Blvd and Kirkman Road extensions). We take you directly to your hotel or the dedicated Epic Universe drop-off loop.
No "Bus Wait" Times: Big shuttles wait until they are full. We leave as soon as you have your bags.
Perfect for Multi-Park Families: Splitting your time between Epic Universe and the original parks? We offer "Inter-Resort" transfers to move your family and luggage seamlessly between hotels.
Free Car Seats & Boosters: Traveling with little ones? We provide safety-checked car seats for free, making us the top choice for families visiting the Isle of Berk.
Universal Epic Universe Logistics FAQ
Q: How far is Epic Universe from Orlando Airport (MCO)? A: The drive is approximately 15–20 minutes. We use real-time traffic monitoring to choose the fastest route, avoiding the I-4 congestion whenever possible.
Q: Which hotels are part of the Epic Universe campus? A: We provide direct service to all three new hotels: Universal Helios Grand Hotel (located inside the park), Universal Stella Nova Resort, and Universal Terra Luna Resort.
Q: Is there a shuttle between the old Universal parks and Epic Universe? A: Universal provides buses, but they can be very crowded. For a faster, private experience—especially when moving luggage—OrangeTrans offers private transfers between the main Universal campus and the Epic Universe campus.
Q: Can we do a "Grocery Stop" on the way to the hotel? A: Yes! For 7-night stays at the new resorts, we recommend our complimentary 15-minute grocery stop to stock up on water and snacks before you enter the "Universal bubble."

Customer Reviews
"Punctuality, professionalism, and excellent communication is what you will receive when you book with OrangeTrans. Our driver was flexible and picked us up earlier than scheduled. If you want your transportation needs to run smoothly I highly recommend OrangeTrans."
"Prompt and professional with a clean comfortable vehicle. Provided cold water and phone chargers - which were much needed after a long day at the parks. Highly recommend OrangeTrans for all your Orlando transportation needs."
"Easy to book with them. Drivers were really great and it was such a no-hassle way to get to and from the airport to our Disney resort. Especially with an early morning flight. We will definitely be booking with them again! 5 stars!"
