Best Transportation Options-MCO

[allpoints]

Looking for the best transportation options for 4 people (+luggage)  MCO-Port Canaveral.

Was thinking of just using UBER.

Cortrans shuttle gets high marks, $20 per person.

"Best" is a stretch limo with a stocked bar! 😎

 

With 4 plus bags you will need UberXL - expect the fare to be about $100

 

Besides Cortrans, suggested above, check with Cocoa Beach Shuttle. Those two are the most often suggested shuttles.  Since we always fly in at least one night in advance we typically use a one-way car rental to get to the port.  All of the car rental agencies in Cocoa Beach will shuttle you to the port after you return the car.

I basically have the same question. Big difference is as of right now, we have 4 adults and 1 infant. We will fly into MCO on Friday, 10/1/2021, staying at Radisson Resort at the Port, sailing on Mardi Gras on 10/2. Seriously thinking of Carnival transport back to MCO on 10/9. As I am unsure what time we will arrive at airport, what are my best options?

[JohninDC]

What time is your flight home?  If it is after about 1:00 you should have time for a one-way car rental.  A standard minivan should hold all 5 of you plus bags (unless someone in your group packs like my wife 🙄).

 

Carnival transport is an expensive option, or try UberXL for less than Canrival, but likely more than the car rental.

 

Your call!  Good luck!

A family group with an infant that will need a car seat provided...try...Cruise Control.

It's the company we (6 adults and 4 kids under age of 7) were going to use before our May 2020 cruise was cancelled.

Will book with them again for our April 2022.

Thanks for the replies. Luckily, I have almost a year to figure this out! I will check all the options available. Just keeping my fingers crossed that we will return to some kind of normal. As long as the cruise is a go, we will be there, no matter what restrictions if any are in place.

Not sure what time return flight is, as it is too far out to book the air. I have already looked at transportation from the airport to the hotel, minivan is looking good. Thank you for the reply.

Check out their website...hope this helps to give you an option of what's available.

We were for 2020 cancelled cruise (now will also for 2022) going to book them just for the 10 of us.

We would have used a hotel shuttle from MCO to our Orlando hotel and then would have 

Cruise Control pick us up morning of cruise and take us to Port Canaveral. After cruise they would also pick us up and take us to MCO for our flight home.

 

Best of luck !

Thank you! I found the site very informative. I will definitely go to them once our flights are booked. Was originally thinking of a rental from the airport to the hotel, so we could have a way to get around for last minute needs (liquor store, etc.), but now thinking different.

You're very welcome...Glad I could help in some small way with a suggestion.

Enjoy whatever ends up working best for your group.

Anyone know how much a cab costs from the port to the Orlando airport?  There’s only 2 of us.

A ton....you realize its a 45+ minute drive? Uber would be the better choice.

Pre-virus it was over $100 each way in a cab. 😮

Using cruise line buses are usually more money once you break it down per person

We just booked a PC cruise. Our flights don't get in until after 10PM. We are just staying by MCO that night with a rental car. We will drive out early in the morning and do whatever we want until we need to be at port.
