Transportation options from Port Canaveral to Orlando airport

We are on the Disney Magic Jan4-11 2015 cruise and I am considering Executive Vip Limo for our transfer from the port to Orlando airport. We are four adults and one child. Any opinions or suggestions would be most welcome.

Have you checked the Florida Departures Board? This is discussed quite often.

There are many good companies. I'm not familiar with this one.

We found it most affordable to do a one way car rental. It might be worth it to compare the cost.

Executive VIP is an awesome company. We used them a couple years ago and were very pleased. We used them locally along the shore in and around Cocoa.

Essentially, you have to weigh cost vs. convenience.

 

There is no question that a one way car rental is the cheapest, but it is not the most convenient--from the cruise terminal, either the driver or all need to go to the rental place (often standing in line and waiting for a shuttle), gas up the car on the way to the airport, and return it (a simple process, but still takes a minute). And for 4 adults + 1 child + luggage, you are probably looking at a minivan or small SUV.

 

DCL transfers are the most convenient if you are using a participating airline. You place your luggage outside the cabin at night and see it at your home airport. But the cost is $35 per person each leg.

 

A private limo service is about the cost of DCL transfers for 4, but the driver picks you up as close to the terminal as they can get and drops you at your airline. No waiting for the bus to fill. But you still have to check in yourself and your luggage at the airport.

We used Executive VIP from WDW to Port Canaveral. They were great. We rented a van (3 adults and two kids - one in a car seat) on the way back. The car rental was about $50 cheaper.
