RoePost Posted July 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2022 spending a week in Orlando and then cruising from port Canaveral. Any suggestions on rental cars from the airport and drop offs near the port. Do any of the cat rental agencies let you drop off near the port and shuttle you to the ship?? Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted July 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Has the shortage gotten better? Last time I checked the best price overall was a deal I found in mousesavers newsletter and the car cost more than a hotel. I didnt check drop off prices, I was going to check on a condo.

Jerseygirl1416 Posted July 15, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2022 We’ve rented from Avis before and then dropped the car on our way to the pier and took their shuttle to the ship. It was very easy. I’d see who has drop offs near the port with shuttles and take the best deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance Sometimes you get a better rate just booking MCO to MCO for the first 7 days and then make another rental One Way MCO to Port Canaveral area for like 4 hours on your cruise departure day. So be sure to price it out all different ways. Check AARP rates, Triple AAA rates etc, Costco if you belong ? We have a 6 day rental for January 2023 from Sanford(Orlando) Airport and drop off in Sarasota/Bradenton Airport..............$630 which I feel isn't to bad, $105 per day. (Large Car) Years ago you would pay like $175 to $200 for that kind of rental. But times are a lot different now.

So there's no shuttle involved? Which port? RC uses two at Port Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvnewsengineer Posted July 16, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Port Canaveral itself. We just got off Independence first week of July and they do have a shuttle from Terminal 1 ( cant speak for the others). If you want to walk it, its about a quarter of a mile as the crow flies. 710 Mullet Road is the location.

Corby114 Posted July 16, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 16, 2022 To save some money rent a vehicle for your seven day vacation separately while visiting the Orlando area. At the conclusion of the seven days return the rental vehicle to the same location. For the trip over to Port Canaveral rent the second vehicle for a minimum twenty four hour period. On embarkation day return the rental to the Cape Canaveral location and shuttle over to Port Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djford75 Posted July 18, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Ever use TURO? It's a ride share company that regular people like you and I rent their cars. We have used it multiple times and LOVE it!! Much cheaper that the regular companies. They offer insurance, and check your drivers license as well. Well rounded group of cars, anything you can imagine.

We are renting from Budget Yes....My DH & DS dropped us off at the port and drove the rental to Budget and the shuttle was complimentary to take them to the port. This couldn't have been easier and we were very surprised at how quick they got back....under 1/2 hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
