Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Your pickup time was scheduled for 7am as a shared shuttle transportation meaning other customers are on the shuttle, not a private transportation which we do offer. We had other customers on the vehicle that we asked if its ok to wait until 7:15am to leave, they were fine with it until 7:15am came and you were not there. They started to complain saying that they had early flights to catch, so we had no choice but to depart. We sent viator all the communication with time stamps between you and the driver, and with you and the office, to prove that we were conversing with you. We do offer private transportation which is more personalized and tailored to our customers. With the private transportation we will wait for you until you get off the ship even if you're delayed.

Rental Cars

If you plan to arrive in Orlando a few days before your cruise and plan on exploring attractions in the area, having a rental car can be useful. However, for those flying in on the day of their cruise, renting a car to make the 45-mile trip to the port is not ideal. While there are many rental car agencies located right in the Orlando Airport, that is about where the convenience ends. 

When you arrive at Port Canaveral, you must return your rental car at the vehicle drop-off area, located in Cruise Terminal 1. You will then need to get a ride to your ship since the area is not walkable unless sailing out of this specific terminal. It is very common for cruisers to get caught up in long lines when picking up or returning their vehicles. This can be especially stressful when trying to catch your cruise or flight home. Overall, renting a car to get from Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral is one of the riskier options.

Rideshare Services

Port canaveral cruise terminal to orlando airport

Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft have become a very popular form of transportation in recent years. Although booking a ride is easy on your phone, waiting around for a driver in heavily-trafficked areas can be frustrating when you are in a time crunch. Rideshares also charge surge pricing, which multiplies their standard fee during high-demand times. This often happens on busy cruise days as thousands of passengers travel from port to port. While the app indicates a standard UberX can accommodate up to three people, you should consider how much baggage you are traveling with as well. Typically, an UberX will only accommodate two travelers plus luggage comfortably, considering the 45-mile ride to the port. With a party of three or four, you will most likely need to request an UberXL, which further inflates the cost. When returning from your cruise, there is also a very high chance you’ll be met with a hefty surge price or get stuck waiting around for a ride to become available. Compared to Orlando, Cape Canaveral is not a big city and there are not as many drivers available when you disembark.
