Oh, I remember my roommate told me this, I think. Super Shuttle it is, I'm guessing.

I believe there are announcements not only in the Uber app when you try to book a trip from the airport but in the airport itself stating that Uber does not service airport property in Orlando. I remember being slightly surprised at this last summer but since I’ve heard of other airports, none of which I can recall at this moment, who also have such a policy.

I had an understanding that Uber and the Orlando Airport had some kind of agreement that they wouldn't go there, but since I can't remember who said this to me, not sure. That seems a little unlikely though because everyone doesn't have on-line access with an iPhone.
