Transportation from Tampa to Port Canaveral?

Recommended Posts

I'm currently sailing on Rhapsody in Australia and met an Australian couple who'll be cruising out of Tampa & Port Canaveral later this year. After flying to Tampa, they'll be taking b2b Caribbean cruises and then need to get to Port Canaveral for a TA to England. They were asking about transportation options because they would rather not rent a car and have to drive on the "wrong" side of the road. :D

 

Is anyone familiar with and/or can recommend a company that provides shuttle service from Tampa to Port Canaveral?

They will be flying from Orlando . That is airport closest to Port Canaveral.

Orlando (MCO) is about 3 hours from Tampa.

Here are some links

No, they're not flying from Orlando. I appreciate you trying to help, but you either misread or ignored the info I posted. They're flying from Australia to Tampa where they will be taking two Caribbean cruises out of the Port of Tampa. At the conclusion of their 2nd cruise, they need to get transportation from Tampa to Port Canaveral where they will be boarding another ship for a transatlantic cruise to England. They will then be flying home to Australia from there. At no point will MCO come into play. (BTW, Tampa is only about 90 minutes (if that) from Orlando, not 3 hours.)

 

I hope that clarifies any misunderstanding. Once again, thanks for trying to help.

I cannot help with car services, but let me just jump in and say what a wonderful plan, your friends sure know how to maximize time at sea.

Good for them.

 

That said, Tampa to PC is a straight shot across the state of FL.

I know they don't want to drive, and I understand the trepidation regarding the opposite side of the road, but it is all interstate driving, and a one day rental would certainly be he most cost effective.
