Overnight port stop at Port Canaveral, Uber/taxi question

[MJC]

We will have two days in Port Canaveral and want to visit the Space Center for one of those days. If we take a taxi or Uber there from the cruise terminal, is it easy or even possible to get one back to the ship later? We are used to quick availability where we live and don't know what to expect in FL, and certainly don't want to be stranded miles away.

 

The other alternative is to rent a car, but we'd have to leave at 2pm to get the car back before the agency closes, which makes for a really short day.

We here in Florida do have Uber/Lyft.  They are available pretty much every where except out in the country and it's not out in the country. You should be fine.

Regarding the car rental, most places have a key drop box for returns when the office is closed. You could call to confirm.

We have a car for the day but we are now wondering how we will get back to the ship from an after hours drop-off (we hope to have dinner with friends that evening). The closest would be a 1/2 walk, which isn't terrible, but is that area safe at night?

You won't be able to enter the port on foot. Drop everyone off at the ship, return the car, call an Uber.
