Port Canaveral Thrifty car rental after Carnival cruise

[canyoncam]

How easy is it to get to the rental office? I assume they have a shuttle located as you depart the ship? Also are there any cashless tolls I could not avoid on my way back to Orlando? I don't mind taking back roads and might prefer it as I have until 4pm to get to airport and no other plans for the day.

Yes, they all have shuttles. For pictures of the shuttles please read the Guide to Car Rentals at Port Canaveral.

See the map below for the location.

 

Yes, it is very easy to get to MCO from Canaveral without paying tolls (only $1 + 1$ = $2). Several ways to go.

 

For example, just take the usual 528 west then north on 520 for rte 50 and drive west until you hit Semoran. Turn south to the airport.

Thank you so much!!! This is just what I was looking for. So much appreciated after spending an hour googling everything but not getting what I wanted.

One more thing is what time would the shuttles start running FROM the cruise ship to the offices?

They will be waiting outside when you arrive....

The tolling spots on Beeline give you the option to pay cash or cashless. Just merge to the correct lanes for each option.

 

There are a few exits in the Orlando area that are completely cashless on various toll rolls, but these are not exits that the average tourist would be using.

 

Miami is the main area where you have to worry about all cashless areas.
