Clarea Posted May 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Greetings. Looking for advice on private tour or how to travel independently to Cape Kennedy from ship. Don't want to book an excursion from the ship. Thanks in advance. I'd rent a car from one of the many agencies in the port area that have free shuttles to the ship. We've used Avis many times with excellent results, but there are several others available. Hopefully the Captain will be along soon and post his excellent map of the area rental places.

Orlando Vic Posted May 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2015 That would be my recommendation too. Kennedy Space Center is not that far away and a car rental would probably be cheaper than a cruise line tour and afford you more flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted May 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Some have reported obtaining free KSC tickets through their congressman - mine failed to come through! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted May 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) as requested the furthest is less than 2 miles away all run shuttles you want your rental location to be CAPE CANAVERAL or COCOA BEACH (Port Canaveral is not a 'city' and does not come up as a rental location) Edited May 6, 2015 by Capt_BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteerageJoe Posted February 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2017 It is important to share which ship and arrival time. And how many people in your party? Some ships arrive at noon. Others at 1pm. For these late arrivals you have to think carefully about rental versus Uber. If renting you will lose at least 30 minutes in transit each way (I've heard of much longer waits when several ships are in) and pay $10 for parking at KSC. With KSC closing at 6pm for many months you have to optimize every minute especially if you dock at 1pm . Also consider the rental office will be closed when you return therefor you have to pay for a taxi or Uber back to the ship. All these little costs and transit times are adding up.
