On February 22, 2005, MCO became the first airport in Florida to accept E-Pass and SunPass toll transponders as a form of payment for
parking. The system allows drivers to enter and exit a parking garage without pulling a ticket or stopping to pay the parking fee. The two
toll roads that serve the airport, SR 528 (Beachline Expressway) and SR 417 (Central FL GreeneWay), use these systems for automatic toll
collection.
In October 2006, MCO opened a 100-space Cell Phone Parking Lot for drivers to use while waiting for passengers to arrive. The lot is set-up
as a free Wi-Fi Hotspot enabling drivers to use their mobile devices to access the Internet, check e-mail, and monitor flight status.
Around the same time MCO opened an Express Pickup service at each terminal allowing drivers to park their vehicles temporarily at a
secure location just outside of baggage claim and meet their arriving party in person. A fee is charged for this service and is only
available to E-Pass and SunPass users.
