Orlando Sanford International Airport

Sanford uses one primary passenger terminal serving both domestic and international flights; check-in, security screening and gate areas are all within the same building. Ground transport facilities, car rentals and shuttle counters are located landside close to the arrivals curb.

No internal airside transfer system is required due to the terminal’s single-building layout.

Sanford is about 20-30 miles (30-50 km) from central Orlando depending on the route; drive times to central Orlando or tourist areas typically range from 30-60 minutes.

• Taxi / rideshare: Taxis and rideshares (Uber/Lyft) operate from the airport; fares to central Orlando and theme-park areas vary widely depending on distance - expect $40+ to main tourist zones.
