Transportation

Free transportation to and from the Orlando International Airport (MCO) will be offered between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, January 09, 2024. If you signed up for the shuttle, more information will be provided to you via email.

If you arrive on a different day, or outside of these hours, you will be responsible for finding your transportation to campus. Some suggestions include:

Lyft, or Uber (You need to get the app on your phone and link it to your credit card if you haven’t already). 

Groome ShuttleThis is the most affordable option for someone traveling to campus on their own, but the bus will not drop you off directly on campus.

  • Shuttles will drop you off at Village Cafe DeLand, exit 116, 431 Orange Camp Road, but from there, you will need a taxi or Uber/Lyft to get to campus (you can call a taxi or use Uber or Lyft)

Hire a private car

  • Please contact WORLD if you would like recommendations for a private car company

Rent a car from the Orlando airport and drive to campus (must be at least 21 years old and have a valid international driver’s license):
