TakeMeAway1001 Posted September 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2009 This is a really helpful thread with great people :) http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=436720 Not sure if you are flying in ahead of time but if you are renting a car is by far the most economical and the trip took us about 45 minutes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted September 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Its about an hour, less if you take the toll road. Cheapest is to rent a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayroll Posted September 12, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2009 45 minutes and you should be there. Cheapest for families is to rent a car and drop off in Cape Canaveral or Cocoa beach. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHeavenOnEarth4 Posted September 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Like others have already said, it's a little less than an hour. It's a nice scenic ride, IMO, though, and it goes by quickly! Last time, we rented a shuttle for the 6 of us. Next cruise, it's just hubby and I (so far), so we'll probably rent a car at the airport and drop it off the next day at Avis of Cape Canaveral. Avis then has a free shuttle to the port! Check out their website for more info. Pretty good deal I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsAllAboutTheSass Posted September 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2009 rent a car. The Beachline can be like an expressway. We made it from MCO to PC in about 40 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillPooh Posted September 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Doesn't the cruise line run a shuttle from the airport? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeMeAway1001 Posted September 12, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Doesn't the cruise line run a shuttle from the airport? :confused: Yes but it's is $35 per person, you can get a rental car for that price and save some $ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISING71 Posted September 16, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2009 If you rent a rental car from airport and drop it off at Port Car. Would the rental company charge you a premium for not dropping it off at the place you rent it from? What is the mode of transportation from port to airport for return? Do you rent a car again? Thanks, Tibbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend100 Posted September 16, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 16, 2009 We have a party of 6. If we rent a mini-van at MCO and drop off at Cape Canaveral, will the rental company shuttle all 6 of us and our luggages to the port free? Or should I drop off my family at the port first and then drop off the minivan and they shuttle only me to the port? We will likely be renting a mini-van again for a few more days after the cruise and driving it back to drop off at MCO. Will they shuttle us at the port to the rental place to pick up the minivan? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted September 16, 2009 #12 Share Posted September 16, 2009 If you rent a rental car from airport and drop it off at Port Car.

Thanks, Tibbie Some companies will, some will not. But renting a car one way from MCO to Port Canaveral and then one way back is not a well kept secrete. Lots of people do it. So there cars do get back to the airport rental location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
