minnie00 Posted April 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2022 We have a later in the day flight out of MCO and are thinking of renting a car for the day after the cruise. Are there any car rentals at the port now? We have used Hertz in the past. thanks for any tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted April 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2022 All of the local car rental locations offer free shuttles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisesfun65 Posted April 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2022 My advice is to book an EARLY pick up. Last month Avis had 90 reservations and only 42 cars. So folks arriving late were left without a car even with a confirmed reservation in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted April 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The rental car locations in Cape Canaveral are very busy on cruise turnaround days. The easiest thing that I do is leave my family and luggage at the terminal and go on the shuttle myself. After I pick up the rental vehicle I return to Port Canaveral and pick up my family. As for vehicles in many instances cruise passengers reserve rental vehicles from multiple companies. After they check current pricing they pick up a vehicle and fail to cancel the other reservations at the other companies. Years ago a shuttle driver at Port Canaveral advised me that in most instances forty percent of reservations end up being no shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsjcb2000 Posted May 4, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 4, 2022 We currently have a rental car reservation for Avis - is Avis a walkable distance for an adult couple (no kids) with 1-2 bags total? We've never picked up a rental car AFTER our cruise, so I'm not really sure how it works. We are being dropped off for the cruise (most likely uber) so wasn't sure how to "get" to the car afterwards. I figured we could always uber if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted May 4, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 4, 2022 - straight line T-1 to Avis is 2 miles ... but you can't walk the straight line so a bit more. - if not T-1 but on north side (overflow) you can not cross the draw bridge on foot. No sidewalks or walking lane on bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
