Getting to Port Canaveral

If you are renting a car at the Orlando Airport or Sanford Airport and driving to Port Canaveral, you should plan of renting from one of the companies listed above.  Rent the car, drive it to Port Canaveral, turn the car in the port location and then take their shuttle to the port.  This will save you $15 daily parking fee and the cost of the rental car while you are on the cruise.

Getting from Port Canaveral

When you arrive in Port Canaveral, take the car rental shuttle back to their location and rent the car and then drive to the destination of your choice.  Since all of the companies listed above have airport locations at both Orlando and Sanford Airports, you should have no problem return the car there.

Additional Information

Before you plan on driving the car one-way from the airport to the port, you should contact the companies and confirm that one-way service is available and find out what the charges will be.  I have sometimes found that it’s best to not turn in the car in Port Canaveral and just pay for the parking.  You may also want to call the location and ask them if you can park their car on their lot (keeping the car on rent) while avoiding the Port’s daily parking rate.

So there you have all of the facts you need to expedite your arrival or departure at Port Canaveral.
