Transportation From MCO to Port Canaveral: 5 Ways to Get to The Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal

This post contains affiliate links, for which I may earn a commission if you make a qualifying purchase.

Sharing is caring!

Many families combine a visit to Walt Disney World or Universal Studios with a cruise departing out of Port Canaveral, just an hour away. But it can be tough to decide on the best way to get from MCO to Port Canaveral’s cruise terminal. Today Aimee of Babies & Beaches is sharing the pros and cons of different options for transportation from MCO to Port Canaveral. After reading this article, you should have a great sense for the right option for your cruise from Orlando! Our family recently took a cruise from Port Canaveral shortly and we went for #4 with an overnight stay the night before at this hotel that offers a discounted rate for cruisers!

You’ve booked a cruise out of Port Canaveral and you’re super excited about your upcoming family travel adventure! If you’re flying into Orlando, Florida, you’re going to need to know how to get from the Orlando airport to Port Canaveral.

The cruise terminals are about an hour east of Orlando International Airport. There are a few different ways that you can make the journey from the airport to the port. We’ve got all the details on each of these transportation options below to help you plan your trip.

It’s important to remember that for all of these options (with one exception I’ll note below) your child will need to ride in a car seat. Safety first! Fortunately there are plenty of great lightweight travel car seats for every age .

While you’re in the planning stages, be sure to read these cruise cabin hacks to make your statement more livable!

MCO to Port Canaveral Transportation Option #1: Rent a Car

This is the most popular option for getting to Port Canaveral from MCO. You can fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO), rent a car, and drive from the airport to Port Canaveral. Renting a car has its perks because you can make your own schedule.

Be sure to check price at RentalCars.com , as they buy days in bulk and then offer them at a discount to travelers. I also find great deals often through Expedia car rentals !

If you have several hours between your cruise departure and your flight, you have time to explore these beaches near Orlando while you’re in town.

Another reason to rent a car is to be able to make a grocery stop. Cruises generally allow you to bring bottles of wine or soda that you can’t pack in your airport luggage. Grab these with your rental car on your way to Port Canaveral.

Renting a car in Orlando can also be the easiest option if you’ll be spending a few days visiting Disney World or Universal Studios .

Cutting Costs with Car Rentals

Although renting a car and paying for it to sit for the length of your cruise might get expensive, there are ways to cut the cost.  

Parking at Port Canaveral cruise ship port is $17 per day. That can add up on a seven-day cruise. This makes the cost per day a lot higher than some of the other options.  

Two ways to cut your cost with a rental car are using an off-site parking lot or getting a one-way rental.  

Many parking lots within a few miles of the cruise ship port offer cheaper parking and will shuttle you to your ship. Be sure to check the times of the available shuttles and how often they run. Again, you will be at the mercy of their schedule.

If you decide to do a one-way car rental, you can drop your car off in Port Canaveral and the car rental facility will shuttle you to the cruise ship terminal. While this is a great option for longer cruises, just watch for one-way fees which can add up fast. And remember that you’ll need to arrange a one-way car rental for your return Port Canaveral transportation to MCO as well!

For our shorter four-day cruise, it was cheaper to do a round trip rental and pay for parking than to do two one-way rentals. If you just plan to pick up your rental car at the airport and use it exclusively to get to and from Port Canaveral, be sure to check the rates at RentalCars.com – they buy days in bulk from suppliers and pass the savings on to customers.

If you plan to combine a cruise with theme parks, check out the combined pricing for tickets and rental car at Undercover Tourist . You can save hundreds of dollars on the rental car by bundling them, even if the dates don’t match up with your theme park days!

MCO to Port Canaveral Transportation Option #2: Park and Cruise in Port Canaveral

If you’re looking for a hassle-free way to get to the port, you may want to consider staying at a “park and cruise” hotel.

These hotels offer complimentary or discounted parking while you’re on your cruise. They also provide transportation to and from the airport as well as the cruise terminal.

This gives you extra time to explore the area.  Stay in Orlando for the day – maybe you are considering a visit to Disney World – before checking into your hotel the night before departure. Or go straight to Port Canaveral and spend the day at the nearby Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral!

The first day is the most fun day of a cruise as everyone is excited and ready to start their vacation. It pays to be rested and not dragging around from traveling all morning.

Yes, you will pay for another night in a hotel, but generally the flights and transportation are cheaper when you book a “park and cruise” package. 

Some of the most popular park and cruise hotels near Port Canaveral include the brand new Springhill Suites by Marriott , Radisson Resort at the Port , the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson , and the Residence Inn by Marriott Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach .

MCO to Port Canaveral Transportation Option #3: Port Canaveral Shuttle Service or Coach Bus

If you don’t want to rent a car or stay at a park and cruise hotel, you can book a shuttle to take you from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Port Canaveral. This is a great option for small groups as tickets are charged per person.

Several shuttle services are running from Orlando-area airports to the Port Canaveral cruise ship terminal. The best part of these is that they usually offer affordable prices – with some trade offs.

The best shuttle from MCO to Port Canaveral is the one provided by your cruise line, if they offer that service. The nice thing about going Orlando cruise line transportation is that since they know you are coming, they won’t leave cruise passengers behind. 

Disney Cruise Line runs a large coach bus (seen above) between the airport and cruise port. This is the only option that doesn’t require a car seat. From a safety perspective it probably should since the bus is traveling on highways, but Disney says that their buses don’t support car seat installation and that car seats will be stowed with your luggage.

The downside to an MCO to Port Canaveral shuttle is that they have their own schedules. If your flight comes in much earlier than the scheduled shuttle, you will be waiting around for some time.  This could be an issue if you have small children and minimal patience!

On the other hand, if your flight is delayed you could miss your shuttle altogether. Likewise if your cruise returns to port late, a shared shuttle may not wait for you and you may wind up in a pickle trying to get back to Orlando International Airport irport for your flight. Be sure to check their policies on this and have a backup plan.

Shuttles might also make other stops at airports or area hotels to pick up more guests or wait until they have a full bus to leave. Again, you are on their schedule, so be prepared for anything. An MCO shuttle to Port Canaveral might not be the best option if you have very young children.

MCO to Port Canaveral Transportation Option #4: Taxi or Uber/Lyft

Another option for getting from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Port Canaveral is to take a taxi or rideshare service like Uber or Lyft directly to the cruise terminal.

The best part of these services is they are already there and great for the last minute. They don’t need to be planned in advance, so if you didn’t know you needed to make a 45-minute drive to Port Canaveral you aren’t completely out of options.  

Also, if your “Plan A” failed due to a late flight or other issues, taxis are always there to get you to Port Canaveral!

The downside is that they get expensive – fast!  Due to the distance and time it takes to get to the cruise ship port, the bill adds up. Taxis are going to be the most expensive option for getting from MCO to Port Canaveral.  A one-way Port Canaveral taxi rate is about $120-$130. Uber and Lyft are a little cheaper, with an UberX ride costing around $75+ and a Lyft ride costing around $65+ depending on whether or not “surge pricing” is in place.

If you’re traveling with kids, you’ll want to make sure that you have a car seat plan for your Uber from MCO to Port Canaveral. Find out more about Uber and car seats , including what to expect in Orlando.

MCO to Port Canaveral Transportation Option #5: Orlando Airport Limo Services and Private Cars

If you want to feel like a celebrity for the day, then book a limousine from Orlando to Port Canaveral ! This is a great option for larger groups, as most limos can accommodate up to eight people. If your group is smaller, consider a private sedan.

A limo service may seem like an expensive option, but there are several perks. Most of the time, these drivers will meet you inside the airport and offer luggage assistance. Even if you’re starting off with a few days at a theme park, it’s easy to use this type of private transportation from Orlando to Port Canaveral because they’ll pick you up wherever you are.

It feels first class if that’s the vibe you’re going for on this vacation! Drivers are usually more than happy to make a quick grocery store stop for you as well.

The price may be slightly higher, but definitely reasonable – for larger families, it can be about the same price as a shared shuttle from the Orlando airport but with far more flexibility. Call around to several companies, ask questions and read reviews. 

It’s nice to have a personal driver that you will be able to call on your return trip as well.  Just be sure to book your limo in advance, as they can fill up quickly during peak travel times.

This private transportation from MCO to Port Canaveral starts at $166 for up to 6 people in a luxury SUV. Another great option is Welcome Pickups , which is a well-regarded international company offering cars for up to 4 passengers.

MCO to Port Canaveral Transportation Options

There are so many ways to get to Port Canaveral to get on your cruise ship!  It really depends on your family and what your travel plans are. Think carefully about your needs as you consider the options:

• Are you traveling with kids or a large group?
• Do you need to make stops after leaving the Orlando airport?
• How close is your flight time to cruise ship departure time?

No matter what, cruising is a great way to travel, vacation, and enjoy time with family.  Which way do you prefer to get to the Port Canaveral cruise terminals?

8 thoughts on “transportation from mco to port canaveral: 5 ways to get to the port canaveral cruise terminal”.

Thanks for sharing your research and all the info. I could not find any shuttle service that would service our flight time (arrival at 11 pm), either to a hotel at the airport or a hotel in Port Canaveral. We ended up renting one way rental at the airport, staying in Port Canaveral 2 nights and turning it in to rental car company at Port Canaveral. On our 1st leg, we rented with Enterprise at MCO, and turn in was so easy with a 5-10 minute ride to the ship. While our return was a slog…..No signage at MSC terminal for rental car company pick ups, only a message on AVIS phone so could not get specifics and almost an hour wait for a van with space enough for us. We had to stand in line and wait for 3 vans to fill up and go before our turn. Off the ship early(8;20 am), it was around 10:30 before we were “in” the rental car leaving the rental center. Meanwhile, I saw the Enterprise vehicle about every 10 minutes loading up and leaving. (Enterprise, National shared a building/van system). Now I know for “next time”. We turned our rental in the night before our flight out of MCO, as we had an early flight, and La Quinta at the airport was great about picking us up and returning to the hotel, and getting us to the airport bright and early. I saw you had Radisson at the Port listed. That is where we stayed, and it was highly disappointing. There was construction all around the property. The lobby areas in the furthest buildings (we were in bldg 600) was absolutely FILTHY. The room was clean, but was not the king room I reserved. Lots of lovely NEW hotels all around. This certainly didn’t live up to Raddison standards.

Thanks for your valuable feedback on getting from the Orlando airport to Port Canaveral and renting a car in Port Canaveral!

Safe travels,

One of the main challenges of Miami parking is the scarcity of available spaces, particularly in popular areas like South Beach, Downtown Miami, Wynwood, and Coconut Grove. During peak tourist seasons or special events, finding a parking spot can become a daunting task, often leading to frustration and wasted time for both residents and visitors

Cruise parking is often overlooked but crucial. Thanks for simplifying the process and highlighting cost-effective options for a stress-free experience!”

Very good information, Thanks!

Transportation to the Terminal: If Pack On Cruise Parking provides shuttle services to the cruise terminal, provide details on the frequency, reliability, and convenience of these transportation options.

“Make sure to keep your parking ticket in a safe place, as you’ll need it for the exit process. Taking a quick photo of it with your phone is a simple way to avoid any mishaps.”

That’s a great tip!

9 Best Ways to Travel from Orlando to Port Canaveral

The two closest airports to Port Canaveral are the Orlando International Airport (MCO) and the smaller Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB), which are located 45 miles and 66 miles from the cruise terminals respectively.

This guide covers transportation options from both airports to Port Canaveral, including detailed information on:

Shuttles from Orlando to Port Canaveral

• Private transport from Orlando to Port Canaveral
• Unique transportation options from Orlando to Port Canaveral
• Large group transport from Orlando to Port Canaveral
• And much more!

Whether you’re looking for the quickest trip between the two destinations, the most budget-friendly option, or anything in between, keep reading to discover the nine best ways to travel from Orlando to Port Canaveral.

There are three ways to travel by shuttle from the ‘Magic City’ to the cruise terminals on the cape. The first is with independent shuttle services, the second is with official shuttle services from the cruise lines, and the third is with hotel shuttle services. We’ll break down the pro and cons of each!

1. Independent shuttles from Orlando to Port Canaveral

Port Canaveral is the second busiest cruise terminal in the world after the Port of Miami, so a seemingly endless amount of shuttle companies have popped up to satisfy the demand for transport between Orlando and the port.

The shuttle services are shared and typically cost around $30 and up for the round trip per person, but the price can go down when you have a larger group with more passengers. Start your search with this list shuttle companies:

Go Port Canaveral – Website

Star Trans VIP – Website

Ace Luxury Transport – Website

Cortrans Shuttle – Website

Cocoa Beach Shuttle – Website

Tropicana Transport – Website

Smart-Two.com Shuttles – Website

Spaceport Transport – Website

Mears Transportation – Website

Of course, there are plenty of shuttle services to choose from and plenty of online threads and reviews that can suck of hours of your time while you browse. If it all seems a bit overwhelming, consider an official cruise shuttle service or hotel shuttle services instead.

2. Official cruise shuttles from Orlando to Port Canaveral

Many cruise lines like Disney and Carnival offer their own shuttle services for their passengers from Orlando to Port Canaveral and back again. Each package is different, so speak to your cruise when booking to iron out the transport details and prices as well. Often, these shuttle services are more expensive than third-party options like those listed above, but they’re also more reliable and, if they’re running late, your cruise won’t leave without you.

3. Hotel shuttles

Some hotels in Cape Canaveral offer full packages for cruise passengers that include transport from Orlando to the hotel and the hotel to the cruise terminals before your cruise, and then from Port Canaveral back to Orlando when you return to Cape Canaveral after your trip.

If you’re planning to spend the night in Cape Canaveral before you set sail, these Fly, Cruise, and Snooze packages – from hotels like Comfort Inn and Suites Cocoa Beach and Courtyard by Marriott Cocoa Beach-Port Canaveral in this roundup by USA Today – can save you a significant amount of money on your trip.

Private Transport from Orlando to Port Canaveral

Skip the shuttles all together and choose private transportation between the airport and the cruise terminals with taxis, ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft, or with a car rental.

As you might expect, taxis are one of the most expensive options to travel from the MCO and SFB airports to Port Canaveral. TaxiFareFinder estimates the rates from the Orlando International Airport to the terminal are about $126 without the tip per car (but remember, this price does cover up to four people). From the Sanford International Airport, the trip is a bit longer so the fare is also higher at $151 per car each way. Luckily, ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft have much more affordable prices.

5. Uber and Lyft

Unsurprisingly, Uber is less than half the price of a taxi.

From the Orlando International Airport to Port Canaveral the trip will only run about $59 per car. For a group of four, that makes the ride $30 per person round trip, which is the same as the cheapest shuttle services but much more convenient because it doesn’t require booking ahead or worries about late shuttles or no-shows.

The only downside to using Uber instead of a shuttle service is that the price can vary based on traffic and surging, but usually, the app can predict that before you call the ride. From the Sanford Airport, an Uber to Port Canaveral will cost about $78 each way.

6. Car Rental

Car rental services can be a good choice for the trip between Orlando and Port Canaveral, but only under certain circumstances.

There are many companies to choose from at the airports that also have offices near Cape Canaveral, so a one-way rental is usually possible, but does often come with an extra fee. If you decide to keep your car for the duration of your cruise, you’ll need to factor in the parking fees as well. Even with this in mind, car rentals can be a budget-friendly way to travel around Florida, especially if you plan to explore more of the state before or after your cruise.

One extra tip for the trip: there are toll roads on the route from both the Orlando International Airport and the Sanford International Airport, but they can be avoided by simply checking the ‘Avoid Tolls’ option in Google Maps when you calculate the route.

From the Orlando International Airport avoiding tolls does add significant travel time and distance to the trip, taking it from about 45 miles to 60 miles and adding 30 minutes of travel time. From the Sanford Airport, the drive without tolls is about the same length as the one with them and will take you via FL-46 E and I-95 S. This route takes an hour and seven minutes to drive the 60-mile route.

Unique Transportation Options

We’ve covered the most common transportation options between Orlando and Port Canaveral and the cheapest options, but what about the ones that are the most fun?! Add some flair to your trip and rent a limo, party bus or exotic car – or even charter a helicopter – to get from Orlando to your cruise ship in style.

7. Limo or Party Bus

Orlando Chauffeur Services has stellar reviews online and offers a variety of limos and party buses for every group size. Each trip comes with a meet and greet and a professional chauffeur, and gratuity is included in the price. Stretch limos for eight to ten people cost $210 and $240 respectively, while larger vans like sprinter limos and executive sprinters hold 12 and 14 people and will run you $360 for the trip.

8. Exotic Car

The Orlando International Airport is home to the Orlando Exotic Car Collection by Enterprise, which specializes in renting out exciting vehicles like an Aston Martin, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porche, Tesla, and more. Just click here to browse your favorites and then rent something splashy for the trip from MCO to Port Canaveral!

9. Helicopter Charter

In Orlando there are plenty of helicopter charter companies ready and waiting to take you anywhere you want to go. The Heli Team is one of the most popular charter services in the city but you can also explore services from Chopper and Helicopters, Inc. as well. This is certainly the most expensive transportation option from Orlando to Cape Canaveral, but there’s no doubt that it also comes with the most beautiful views!

Large Group Transport from Orlando to Port Canaveral

Are you in charge of a large group traveling from Orlando to Port Canaveral for a cruise? Whether it’s a tour, a family reunion, or anything in between, ensuring smooth sailing from point A to point B when traveling with a large group is crucial to staying organized.

While you could call multiple Uber rides or try to squeeze into multiple shuttles, getting one coach bus is much more simple. Many companies offer charter buses in and around Orlando, and this list will help you start your search:

Pheonix Bus – Website

US Coachways – Website

National Bus Charter – Website

Gogo Charters – Website

Orlando Charter Bus Company – Website

Academy Bus – Website

The prices vary but range around $120 to $180 per hour. However, some companies may require a minimum rental time that increases the price. Most also require calling to get a quote and to book the services, so you can get more details over the phone to find out the exact rates for your group size.

7 Easy Ways to Get From the Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral for a Cruise

One of the most popular cruise ports in the world, Port Canaveral sees millions of passengers sail annually. Of course before you start your cruise, you have to figure out how to get to the ship. That can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be.

While Port Canaveral is often referred to as “sailing from Orlando,” it’s actually a decent distance from the city. 

If you’re coming in for a cruise, chances are you will arrive via the Orlando International Airport. The airport is 45 miles due west of the cruise terminal.

Of course, if you’re not sure where you’re going or how best to get there, that distance may as well be an ocean. Below, we’ve rounded up all the information on transportation options to help you get to the port and start enjoying your cruise.

Location of Port Canaveral Relative to Orlando

To give you an idea of where the port sits relative to the city and airport, take a look at the map below. Getting to the port typically means heading out State Road 528 (often referred to as the “Beachline Expressway.”

The Beachline Expressway is a toll road. The tolls vary based on payment method, and where you enter and exit the road. In general, expect to pay between $2-5 in tolls when driving from the airport to the cruise ships . 

The easiest address to use for the port is 9005 Charles Rowland Drive, Port Canaveral, Florida, 32920 .

If coming from the Orlando airport, take the North Exit from the airport, staying to the right, to State Road 528 East. You will take S.R. 528 about 45 miles directly to Port Canaveral.

Transportation Options From Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral 

If you are flying in for your cruise, there are several options for getting there without your own car. In general, we recommend a shuttle to the port due to cost and convenience. There are a number of services that offer rides out to Port Canaveral from the airport and points around Orlando. Another good option is a hotel shuttle if you plan to stay somewhere the night before your cruise. Rideshares like Uber/Lyft are also a good choice.

One thing to note is that while many of the options are pricey, keep in mind you won’t have to pay for parking as someone who drives to the port.

Independent Shuttles (Recommended)

If you want your cheapest option (and to help the local economy), then we suggest an independent shuttle service. There are numerous companies that can do the job and usually at rates below that of a taxi or Uber/Lyft.

Rates and service level can vary from company to company and will fluctuate. There are a number of companies in competition and some run specials from time to time. The cheapest rates we’ve found are $36 per person round trip by Orlando Cruise Line Connection. For most of the other shared shuttle services, expect to pay about $50-60 and more per person for round trip service. All of these shuttles run from the airport to the port.

You should note that this is shared shuttle service that may be on a schedule. Typically there are several departure times from the airport, and you will ride to the port with other cruise passengers.

Shuttle companies:

• Go Port Canaveral
• Cocoa Beach Shuttle
• Cortrans Shuttle
• Port Canaveral Quick Shuttle
• Orlando Cruise Line Connection
• Port Canaveral Transit
• Airport Canaveral

Hotel Shuttles (Recommended)

Orlando and Port Canaveral are meccas of tourism. Between theme parks, cruises, and beaches, there is an amazing amount to do and see. In addition, there are tons of hotels all competing with each other for business from tourists.

As a perk to get your business, many hotels offer extras such as shuttles between Port Canaveral and the Orlando airport and/or the cruise port . The good news about these services is that they are perfect if you are flying in the day before your cruise. The shuttles will pick you up from the airport, take you to the hotel, and then to the port the next day.

Now if you are flying in the day of your cruise, then hotel shuttles won’t work for you. As well, if you don’t plan to stay at a hotel the night before, then it’s not worth the extra cost of the room just for the shuttle.

To help you find a place offering a shuttle, we have a list of hotels with Orlando airport and cruise port shuttles for Port Canaveral .

Uber/Lyft (Recommended)

Uber and Lyft have made getting rides easy no matter where you want to go. With just a few taps on your phone you can have a car waiting on you. The rideshare services do offer service to Port Canaveral from the Orlando airport and other points in the area, but it can get pricey. Expect the ride to be about $70-$80 per car ( not per person ), each way or ~$140-$160 round trip. That means with two people it can be about the cost of a shuttle.

While up to four people can ride in a regular Lyft or Uber, with luggage, that would mean a tight squeeze. We’d suggest a max of three people in a regular car. If you need more space, look for the “XL” services offered by the companies or you can book two rides.

One great thing about these services is that they offer a private ride. It’s a good option if you don’t want to share a shuttle ride with lots of other people. 

A one-way trip from the Orlando airport to Port Canaveral by taxi is estimated at $115 . Keep in mind that multiple passengers can ride for the price of one. For that reason, taxis can make sense for families, but are somewhat expensive for just one or two passengers. If you want to take a cab, rides are always available at the airport whenever you land. You will have to pay again for a ride back to the airport, so expect more than $200 for a round trip ride.

Car Rentals (Good for Exploring)

While you might be heading in just to cruise, many people come to Orlando to sail but also enjoy other attractions like Disney, Universal Studios, the Kennedy Space Center and more. If you plan to spend time exploring the area before or after your cruise, then a car rental might make sense. It can also be less expensive to rent a car for a day versus getting a ride or shuttle, depending on prices during your dates. 

But there is also the cost of parking if you plan to rent it during your cruise. If you want to rent one-way, there are agencies available in both Orlando and Port Canaveral . So you could theoretically pick up a car in Orlando and drop off near the port.

Rates can vary widely depending on when you rent. Expect to spend about $50 a day at a minimum, however. One-way rates are likely to be higher.

You can search rental rates via KAYAK in the search box below:

Cruise Line Shuttles

The cruise lines will be happy to offer you a shuttle ride, if you’re willing to pay the high price. For example, at last check Carnival’s official shuttle charged $80 per person for a round-trip transfer ($40 one-way, per person) from Orlando to Port Canaveral and back. That translates to $320 for a family of four. Frankly, there are cheaper ways to get to the ship.

In addition, cruise line shuttles only offer direct service to the ship and only on your cruise day. If you want to make stops before your cruise or you are flying in early, then these shuttles are not an option. For that reason, we prefer other modes of transportation.

Private Cars/Limos

Want to feel like a rock star? Simply want to travel a little more comfortably? Then you may want to hire a private car or limo. There are dozens of companies that offer this sort of service, including many of the ones who operate shuttles. And if you are traveling with a larger group, the per-person cost can be surprisingly affordable.

Limos run about $150-$200 each way (often with a discount for round-trip service). As a rule of thumb, if you are in a group of six or more, then definitely look into a private car or limousine to save some cash. 

If you’re looking for a private car or limo, then we suggest browsing this list of companies approved to pick you up at the Orlando airport.

Getting from Miami/Fort Lauderdale to Port Canaveral

While most people fly into the Orlando airport for their cruise, sometimes airfare is cheaper to Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Or sometimes people simply want to explore southern Florida.

If this is the case, you should realize that your options are somewhat limited in getting to Port Canaveral. There is no quick and easy shuttle that we know of. Instead, we recommend looking into one-way car rentals . This way you can drive to the port (it’s about 215 miles from Miami) and not have to worry about parking.

One-way rentals can be a bit expensive for what is essentially one day of car rental. Rental rates seem to be slightly cheaper if traveling from Port Canaveral back to Miami.

IS THERE TRANSPORTATION FROM SUN CITY FL TO PORT CARNIVAL???

Need transportation from Daytona Beach to cruise terminal in port canaveral probably September or october

As far as transportation goes from airport to cruise terminal etc…can you please include information for accessible transportation options as well?

We cruise from Port Canaveral twice a year. We used shared shuttles (Cortrans I believe), taxis (Yellow Cab), private companies (we love STAR TRANS-VIP) and cruise shuttles (both Disney and Royal Caribbean). We also rented a car several times. Private transfers are much more expensive than other options, but it is my #1 choice. It is our vacation! We don’t want to drive or wait for anyone or share a bus with 53 other people. Actually private transfer is not the most expensive option if you are traveling with a large group (6 people and up).

I’m planning to take my wife on a cruise to Port Canaveral next year for our anniversary. I like that there are plenty of choices to go there. I think I should opt for having a private transfer to add a bit more privacy and intimacy for our time together. Thanks for the great tips!
