Car Rental Port Canaveral as port of call....

[cooncat_mom]

We're going to be doing Port Canaveral as a port of call from 10AM to 10PM. RCI offers shuttles to the theme parks for $33/pp. We have 4 adults who plan to go to Sea World, so a car rental would definitely be cheaper (& give us more freedom). Question is, can it be done? Looks like Enterprise closes at 6PM. How hard will it be to get to Port from there if we return the car after hours?

Good morning - look go to this link and you will find all the information you need on rental cars - all the rental car places do have a drop off fee box - I have had to do this on several ocassions.

GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info! Does anyone know if the rental car drop-off are in fairly safe areas to wait for cabs at?

We have rented from both Budget and Hertz and wouldn't feel uncomfortable waiting at either for a taxi. Though we have never returned a car at night, we have gotten back to the Residence Inn after dark and Hertz shares the same driveway as Residence Inn. That area is very well lit and has a Burger King right beside it. Budget is just a little further down the street on the same major road. We have never used Enterprise so I can't help you there.

 

You could always wait in the rental until the taxi got there and then drop the keys in the drop off but I really wouldn't be concerned.

Any idea of how much a cab will cost from the return location (assuming it's after hours) back to the cruise ship?
