Rare Clay Clayton Posted July 23, 2011 #1626 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Budget using an AMEX Promo. If I can find the code I will try to post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsAllAboutTheSass Posted July 23, 2011 #1627 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I have an intermediate with Budget for $54 from MCO to PC the day before we leave. I was able to use our business code. My department paid for it and I wrote a check to reimburse. For our trip back, I am using Exec VIP as I don't feel like going thru the hassle of renting and retuning a car before my flight.

jetski3 Posted July 23, 2011 #1628 Share Posted July 23, 2011 We felt the same and did not want the hassle of the return etc. We used the private car service from executive vip limo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyW Posted July 23, 2011 #1629 Share Posted July 23, 2011 We plan on renting a car to get back to the airport after our cruise on Freedom. We have never traveled out of Port Canaveral before. Is it easy to find the rental car shuttles after exiting the luggage pick up area? Is there a long wait for a shuttle on departure days? I'm pretty confident we will be renting with Avis. Thanks!

I'm pretty confident we will be renting with Avis. Thanks! Just did this.. We used Avis as well. They were great. Getting off the ship in Port Canaveral from the Dream was so easy, luggage retrieval was easy too. We headed outside of the building and the Avis (as are all) pick up area was to your far right side as you exit the building. We had to wait about 20 minutes for the shuttle to arrive. Once there we were loaded quickly, shuttled to Avis and the pickup went very quick for the car. Loved Avis and would rent from them again...

lilly4350 Posted July 31, 2011 #1634 Share Posted July 31, 2011 We are flying into FLL and renting a vehicle to Cape Canaveral. Some agencies don't show Cape Canaveral as the drop off point. The closest listing is Melbourne (airport, I presume). Is this still OK and will they drop us off to the cruise ship? And pick up again after the cruise.

HUNKY Posted July 31, 2011 #1636 Share Posted July 31, 2011 By using your American Express card and BCD discount code S208200 you avoid having to pay a drop off fee. This discount code is public and available to any American Express card holder. $43.12 all in from Lake Buena Vista to Cape Canaveral for a class B compact in October 2011.

Thanks for your help Diane Sometimes the in town locations are "port canaveral" and sometimes they ate "cocoa beach" and seems like agency even lists theirs as "cape canaveral". You may need to try all three to find the off airport locations. You do not want the Melbourne airport locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help Diane National closed their Canaveral location and their next closest is Melbourne. If that is who you are looking at and prefer their services, you may want to call and ask about a transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National was one of the ones we were looking at - they seem to have the cheapest prices so far. But if it is a pain getting from Melbourne airport, we will have to look at other rentals.

sandradoo Posted August 4, 2011 #1643 Share Posted August 4, 2011 We sail on the Dream(Carnival) on Dec. 3. I was trying to find a reasonable hotel for Dec. 2. Days Inn Cruiseport West has 50% good reviews and 50% bad, has anyone stayed here recently or anyone heard any reason my husband and I should cancel the reservation I made thru a park, stay, cruise site.

I tend to remember the very good......and the very bad of hotels and cruises. LaQuinta was neither.....average I guess. Last time I stayed at Best Western we had an oceanfront room on a high floor. We enjoyed the beach all day. Early in the evening we bought a box of donuts and left them on a table in the room while we went out for dinner. Got back a couple hours later and noticed our unopen new box of donuts were infested with bugs! Appeared to be ants with trails of them across the table....down the legs.....and on the walls. They couldn't change our room but sent an exterminator while we went out for drinks....Only stayed that night but doubt we would return. LOL. I was surprised at how fast and how many found those donuts.....we weren't gone very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtjacks Posted August 4, 2011 #1649 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Is it closer/faster to fly into Melbourne or Orlando? I am stressed because we are flying in the same day our cruise leaves. I know it is recommended to fly in earlier but this time I can’t help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
