Guide: Terminal C

Terminal C is Orlando International’s newest building, about a mile from the North Terminal, and it does not work quite like A and B. What to expect when you land there.

- Child seats, meet and greet, tolls and airport fees are in the price

## What Terminal C is

Terminal C, the South Terminal, opened its doors in September 2022, roughly a mile from the older North Terminal where A and B live. An automated people mover links Terminal C and the Intermodal Terminal, the airport’s train station, to A and B.

## Who flies into C

Mostly international carriers, plus JetBlue, which is the main domestic airline in Terminal C. The large US carriers mostly stay in A and B. Terminal assignments do change, and some airlines have moved between buildings, so your airline confirmation is the only reliable source for your own flight.

## Trains from Terminal C

Brightline’s Orlando station is in the Intermodal Terminal next to Terminal C. Service between Orlando and Miami began in September 2023.

## Getting a ride from Terminal C

App rides pick up at the Terminal C arrivals curb on Level 6, and drop off at the departures curb on Level 2. That is the reverse of what many travellers expect, so look for the signs rather than going by habit.

For a pre-booked private car, the meeting arrangement at Terminal C differs from the baggage-claim meet and greet at A and B. When you book a Terminal C arrival with us, ask where your driver will be and we will tell you exactly where to look.

### Arriving internationally?

Passport control and customs add time between landing and the arrivals hall. Airport rules let a pre-arranged driver stay up to an hour after an international arrival, compared with 30 minutes for a domestic flight. Put your flight number in the booking so your arrival is identified correctly.

Planning the rest of the trip? Our [MCO car service page](https://floridatransportationservices.com/orlando-airport-car-service/) covers all three terminals, and the [airport pickup guide](https://floridatransportationservices.com/guides/orlando-airport-pickup/) compares every way out of the airport.
