Can I do Orlando without a car?

Downtown Orlando, Kissimmee, and Sanford are all walkable areas. But if you need to save time or escape an afternoon rainstorm, the Kissimmee Connector, downtown LYMMO, and Sanford Trolley will get you around town quickly. These shuttles all stop at local attractions, as well as at each area's SunRail station.



You can absolutely experience Orlando without a car in 2026, thanks to a significantly expanded transit network. The Brightline high-speed rail now connects Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Miami, and its partnership with Mears Connect provides shared shuttles directly to over 25 Disney resorts for roughly $16. Once in the "attraction zones," you can use the I-RIDE Trolley along International Drive to reach SeaWorld and Icon Park, or the free Disney Transport (monorails, skyliners, and buses) within Disney property. For downtown exploration, the LYMMO bus rapid transit is free. Additionally, 2026 sees the expansion of autonomous shuttle pilots like Move Nona in Lake Nona and SWAN Shuttle downtown. While rideshare services like Uber and Lyft remain the most flexible option for "gap" trips, the combination of rail, shuttles, and resort-run transport makes a car-free Orlando vacation more viable than ever before.
