I am looking for any information on affordable and appropriate transportation to/from the Daytona 500 on Feb 19th. Rental car is not an option, but bus, taxi or limo service is.

Feb 19 - Daytona 500 - Transportation - Return Orlando...
Did you find any transportation yet? I also am looking for transportation to the race.
Feb 19 - Daytona 500 - Transportation - Return Orlando...
luv4peyt... I was inquiring with the hotel I am staying at..... there are two of us.... I was thinking a car/limo service may also be an option...how many in your party? I did find a bus schedule from Orlando to Daytona, departing at 7pm from Daytona, but not sure if that leaves enough time after the race?
There will most likely be 4...but is a possibility that it could be 6 or just 2. I should find out how many exactly within the next couple days. 6 of us are going to the race...however, some people are still trying to stay closer to the track. We were hoping to leave early on Sunday to enjoy the pre race festivities---well at least I consider 8:30 to 9 am on a Sunday early. I am waiting on quotes from car/limo companies as we speak and have pretty much ruled out the public bus. Too risky for us! Have you received any quotes yet on the cost of private transportation?

I had not explored it, in detail, as it is just me and my son and thought it would not be cost effective for the two of us..... but I am pretty certain that with 8-10 (including us that it may be more reasonable). If we could secure something for $600-$1000 it would be about a $100/per (worst case) but they would probably pick us up at our hotels and quick escape out of town after the race. I am waiting for word back from the concierge at the hotel, as I had asked them to make inquiries on our behalf.... you can email me at born4funagain@hotmail.com

I did get this from the concierge, at the hotel, on Jan 10th, but have not heard from him since. I have sent a follow up email tonight.
I will be helping you arrange your transportation to The Daytona 500. In order to help you I will need to know the amount of people you will be going with or if it is just yourself. I have already contacted Mears transportation (407-423-5566) and spoke to a representitive. I was told that we could book a exclusive charter thru there special accounts. This charter would be for 10-12 hours. I went a head and checked with one of our limo companies that we work with. The trasportation was going to be chartered for 12 hours with a $72.00 an hour charge plus 20%. As far as transport transportation I am still looking into a company that will do that for you
I found out that there will only be 3 of us needing transportation as the other people have decided to stay closer to the track. The price of a limo seems a bit higher than we were looking to spend. Please post if you find something more reasonable as we would not be averse to sharing transportation costs :-)
There%26#39;s a possibility of providing rides to pay for the rental from Orlando to Daytona for the race... although we won%26#39;t be rushing out after the race. If interested, I%26#39;ll see if it%26#39;s possible... email syzygyus AT yahoo.com
Steve,
My son and I will be traveling from Orlando to Daytona for the race. Were you ever able to find transportation?
The only thing I found was DOTS http://www.dots-daytonabeach.com/ for $55+ each round trip (I think). I%26#39;m sure there may be others, but I%26#39;m not from the area. We ended up renting a small car for the weekend.
