Transportation advice needed. Frequent trips from Miami to Orlando

I was wondering if anyone active in this forum had something to say about transportation companies in Florida.

I am new to the area and I will be working out of Orlando but the rest of my family is in Miami. The plan is for me to leave on Sunday in the afternoons and get to Orlando sometime before 10pm so I can get some well needed rest before I work then come back home to my family on Friday night. Anyone got any ideas? I don't have a license so renting a car is out of the question.

>>I would just get a licensehave a license. There are LOTS of reasons one doesn't have a drivers license beside personal choice.

How long do you expect this arrangement to last?

I can't just get a license. Its not that easy for me. I owe the court system thousands of dollars. I have used Amtrak before and they are much like a greyhound bus. They smell bad and take too long for my purposes. Usually the trips are 7+ hours from Miami to Orlando and back. I have found the same thing to be the case with Red Coach.

What about a shuttle? I found this place called Florida shuttle transportation, but they have poor reviews on Google.. These other guys look promising, but they don't have many reviews.. Has anyone ever used these people before? http://floridashuttleservices.com/bu...ami-to-orlando

What are your experiences with shuttles in Florida. Please no trolls. Of course I would have a license by now if it were easy. I made a poor decision and am paying for it. Please make a small effort not to rub it in my face.
