safulton79 Posted March 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I am looking for suggestions for transportation to and from MCO - Port. We arrive at 8:30 the morning of our cruise. I have been trying to decide between Cortrans or GoPortCanaveral.com. They seem to be much cheaper than going through Carnival and offer more options for arrival/departures. Can anyone help with which would be our best opiton. There will be 5 adults on the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted March 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2018 A number of posters on this board spoke very favorably of Cortrans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrate13 Posted March 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I can't speak for GoPortCanaveral but we liked the service from Cortrans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted March 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I am looking for suggestions for transportation to and from MCO - Port. We arrive at 8:30 the morning of our cruise. I have been trying to decide between Cortrans or GoPortCanaveral.com..... What are the deciding factors? Price? Times? What exactly are you trying to decide about? Private transportation/shuttle is always cheaper than the cruise line. For five of you, you are already looking at over $100.00 using a shuttle service - maybe rent a car? That is often discussed here on the Florida board. Five adults and luggage, or family with children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Flying in the morning of your cruise? Pray that your flight is on time, forget about renting a car one way, and pick the shuttle that works for your budget/schedule - Cortrans, Coco Beach Shuttle or Go Port Canaveral.

Yes we are flying in the morning of the cruise. There are sometimes when schedules and life don't permit flying in before. Our flight leaves our hometown at 6:00 AM so if it happens to be delayed for some reason I feel we will be ok. The people we are with always fly in on the day the cruise.

We are just looking for the most budget freindly option, but reliable. I am leaning toward Cortrans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray310 Posted March 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I can't speak for the other shuttle servicess, but we have had very good experiences using CorTrans, they have been very reliable, on time and very courteous drivers, clean shuttles and good price.

mumluv2cruz Posted March 27, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Another vote for Cortrans. I've used them several times with no issues at all. I've known people who have used GoPortCanaveral and have heard mixed reviews on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediknight4jc Posted March 27, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Cortrans is awesome! I've used them twice and they've been flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted March 28, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 28, 2018 We're renting a car going to the Cocoa Beach from MCO pre-cruise, but post-cruise we're using Cortrans. I had Cocoa Beach Shuttle reserved but after reading lots of reviews, I cancelled it and went with Cortrans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaletownboy Posted August 26, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I've read people's reviews regarding cash payment but Cortrans sent an invoice for the full round trip cost for pickup at our hotel and return to the Airport. Is this something new? Just checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaletownboy Posted August 26, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Actually Cortrans is asking for payment up front. Payment by Nov 18th. Our trip isn't until Nov 24th There's no option in the email to pay cash upon pickup. We booked round trip. One from hotel to Port, and port to airport. FYI we are Canadians..not Americans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaletownboy Posted August 26, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Did you email them directly or hit the Reserve button on their front page? We used the button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used the button I used the reserve button on the homepage. You can try emailing them though and asking about paying when they arrive.

yaletownboy Posted August 26, 2018 #20 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) TY. We'll make some inquiries.. it's just odd that we have a totally different response. The invoice came from invoicing@messaging.squareup.com and the invoice had a logo. Edited August 26, 2018 by yaletownboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky61 Posted August 26, 2018 #21 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Since I don't like shuttles and don't take them, I would book a town car and get to the port comfortably.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteerageJoe Posted August 27, 2018 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Since I don't like shuttles and don't take them, I would book a town car and get to the port comfortably.:) Not sure about a town car for 5 with luggage for $100 or less but you have a very valid point! Cortans = $20 x 5 = $100 and it is a shared van Goportcanaveral = $85 for a very comfortable bus with plenty of legroom and a check-in desk at the airport and at the port terminal when returning UberXL - $85 for a very reliable private transfer in case you want to stop and buy wine, etc. I agree that Cortrans is super reliable but sometimes the math shows better value to be achieved elsewhere?
