Parking Rental Car at Port Canevral and General Transportation

[JRaizelG]

Hi,

 

We are taking our first family cruise this Spring on Disney Magic. We will be renting a car in Palm Beach and driving over to the port as we will be visiting grandparents before the cruise. Are there major car rental offices/lots at or near the port? We are trying to figure out where to drop off a rental and if that does indeed make the most sense. Additionally, we are looking into transportation to Orlando airport after the cruise. Can anyone recommend a RELIABLE, mostly hassle-free and less expensive mode of transportation? We currently have a reservation with the Disney shuttle service but at $35.00 a person...that seems high?

 

Thanks!

There is a lot of information on the Florida Departures board. In particular, check this particular thread.

We used to live in Port Canaveral and there are several rental car lots really close to the port - but that thread will be able to give you specifics.

Hi, we are using Cocoa Beach Shuttle from Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral at $29 per person. That doesn't include a tip for the driver. We will be renting a car from Payless Car Rental, but I'm not sure if you can drop off there. Hope this helps. Cocoa Beach Shuttle phone number is 321-631-4144 and Payless Car Rental is 321-613-5639.
