Rental Cars in Port Canaveral

[bahama_mama]

Someone had written in a thread rental car companies that had long lines trying to get to the rental car agencies after the cruise. They listed to companies to avoid and several that had several shuttles going - I remember one of the "good" ones was Hertz but I can't remember the others and I can't find the thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One other question - I was going to send my DH to get the car and then come back and pick up me, the kids and my parents - will he be able to get back to us or should we all take the shuttle over to the rental lot?? Thanks for your help! :D

We rented from Budget on both ends of our cruise last month. Pat in the local Cape Canaveral office is great. The shuttle was fast and courteous and they matched the rate I found on line with another rental company.

I also rented with Budget from both ends. Pat at the Cape Canaveral office is great. She is very quick and nice. You will love her. Very fast. Not like most lines in Florida.

The rental agencies that have offices in Cocoa Beach and MCO are Avis, Budget, Hertz and Thrifty. All the rental offices in Cocoa Beach are within two miles of each other. There is easy access to the gas station near the rental offices in Cocoa Beach. For MCO, use the exit for the airport, but head away from the airport for about one mile. There you will find gas stations and fast food.

 

I rented from Avis in April/May 2006. I turned my car in at the Avis office in Cocoa Beach. They drove me to the dock. When I returned I again used the Avis shuttle to get back to the rental office in Cocoa Beach. I had no trouble on either end. However, I am a CVC member, and thus was one of the first off the Glory. I don't know if that made a difference.

Did you book your car with Pat? Do you have a phone number for her? Thanks everyone for your help.

Who is this question directed to? Who is Pat?

 

I booked my rental online.

We rented with Thrifty a couple of weeks ago. There were only 2 families on the shuttle and no lines at the rental company.

Good morning,

Pat is the GM for Budget Car Rental. A new Hertz office is being built on the Residence Inn property and will be open next month. Avis Car rental was the ONLY company to come to the aid of cruisers when they were faced with being dropped off in Cape Canaveral and we were under mandatory evacuation - they got 4 families 4 cars and out of here with 7 hours of Francis hitting here also they will meet or beat anyone's prices, Thrifty is between Avis and Budget and all the rest are in Cocoa Beach. I believe for most part each of them are reliable and each of them will do what they can to make you well satisfied.

Always
