Does Mears go to Universal?

Mears Orlando attraction transportation services include theme park transportation to all Orlando area theme parks, including Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort™, SeaWorld® Orlando, Legoland® Florida Resort as well as an exclusive Mears Shuttle to Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay.



Yes, Mears Transportation provides several options to get to Universal Orlando Resort, although they no longer operate a "scheduled" shuttle like the old Mears Connect (which primarily serves Disney). In 2026, the most common way to use Mears for Universal is via their Mears Luxe (black car service) or their standard Mears Taxi fleet, which is the largest in Orlando. If you are staying at a Disney resort and want to spend a day at Universal, you can book a Mears taxi or luxury van for a flat or metered rate. Additionally, Mears still operates a shared-shuttle service from Orlando International Airport (MCO) that can be booked to drop you at any of the Universal on-site hotels, such as the Hard Rock Hotel or Cabana Bay. For large groups, Mears motorcoaches are often chartered for private transfers. While many tourists now default to Uber or Lyft, Mears remains the "official" and most regulated transport partner in the region, offering a level of reliability and pre-booking capability that rideshare apps sometimes lack during peak periods or "surge" pricing events.
