UPDATE: We used Mears last week for our IOA day. It was excellent. Pay your $19 per person when getting picked up from your resort and you'll get a slip that can be used as a return ticket. Very easy. Highly recommended.

Do it. It was excellent when we used Mears on our trip last week. Picked us up at the exact time and place as planned and was completely hassle free (Aside from a certain numbskull leaving the tickets for IOA at the resort )

We used them this past December when we spent a day at Universal & it was wonderful.

I feel like it's this well-kept secret. I'm surprised more people don't use it!
I used Mears to travel to IOA on my trip back in Jan for my friend and I and I absolutely loved it. It was so easy and convenient. The bus drivers we had for both traveling to and back were great and very nice. And with the price of $19 per person, you can't beat that.
So, high recommend this service if you don't plan on using a car!

At $19 a person, it's an even better deal when you consider that parking at Universal is in the neighborhood of $14. Add that to whatever you'd pay to rent a car for the day, and $38 per couple is a real bargain!

Havent used them to go to Universal, but the are great for trips to and from the airport. They will even stop at a grocery store on the way for just a few extra bucks. And they let you schedule your own time before the flight home, unlike Magical Express where you HAVE to leave 3hours before hand. (We like to squeeze in as much fun in the parks and make a mad dash for the airport on our last day).

Cost of Cab to Universal vs Mears
Hi Everyone,
Looking for the cheapest way to get to Universal Studios from the Swan. There will be 2 adults and 10 year old daughter.
Thanks for your assistance!
-
I can tell you that from the airport to Universal was $40 for four people.
BTW Mears runs Yellow Cab, City Cab and Checkered Cab. You can go on their web site and plug in your info and get an estimate of your cost.
When you are asking about Mears do you mean their bus? Mears runs cabs, shuttle buses and full size buses.

I read somewhere that Mears has transportation (not sure if van or bus) from Disney to Universal Studios for $19 per person. Does it include the Swan?

From Disney to Universal...
Hi All -
Wondering if anyone has any advice about the best method to get from the World (PoFQ) to Universal? DBf and I are planning to do a day there in December and wondering if anyone had specific recommendations about travel?
Thanks!

Walking is always good. But if you don't want to do that, try Quicksilver, rent a car, or a get a cab.

what are the locations of univ.studios and islands of adv. ? Do we need our own vehicle or is there some type of transport so that we could use a cab or bus from WDW?
Thanks!

They are right next to each other. To answer your question, you do not need transportation from IOA to the Studio. It's not like Disney where you have to get into a bus or car to get from one park to another.

We just used Cocoa Beach Shuttle to get from POP to Port Canaveral, because they were more reasonable than Mears. But I will price Mears for our next offsite from AKL to US/IOA and on another day from AKL to Mall at Millenia and Florida Mall. Unless they are cheaper than the used car, I will go that route.
Not sure if it's an issue for them when you don't have a large travel party. Since we only have 2 in our party.

How long does it take to get from Disney Resort (Beach Club) to IOA? I just need an estimate so i know what time to have the car service pick us up. I was planning pick up for an hour before park opening, not sure if that would give us enough time to get there or not.

We drove from AKL to the US/IOA area in about 15-20 minutes, I believe. I had my GPS so that made it easier for me. Also, it was a weekday, actually 2, Tuesday and Wednesday.
