debgreg Posted December 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Hi, we are going on Wonder on the Seas 7th Jan and wanted to hire a car to spend our last day in Orlando (late flight) dropping it at the airport. We have done this before but I cant remember which company it was with that was based at the terminal. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated 😊 has anyone used the Budget shuttle service, is it regular and not too much hassle as they seem to be the most reasonable?

We've used Budget and were very happy with the shuttle service. Price it through Costco if you're a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_BJ Posted December 17, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) editorial: Port Canaveral and the town of Cape Canaveral are not BIG metropolitan areas like Miami or Ft Lauderdale and as the port has grown some of the 'support services' have NOT grown to match. One such service is rental cars ..... The local rental offices are not BIG like you see at Miami or Lauderdale where the main offices are actually serving the airport .... In Canaveral those large rental offices are at Orlando Airport - 45 minutes away. What the local offices are like - how busy they are - is VERY dependent on the port load: how many ships are in on 'your day'. If your day is one or two ships there is typically no issues but some days there are 4, 5 even 6 and these days easily over run the local rental offices. If you go to the port website and the cruise section you can find a link to the cruise ship schedule. They tend to keep it filled to about 6 months out and you can check 'your day' and have an idea of what to expect .... https://www.portcanaveral.com/getattachment/Cruise/Cruise-Lines-Schedules/Port-Canaveral-Cruise-Schedule-Dec23-Jul24.pdf.aspx?lang=en-US Edited December 17, 2023 by Capt_BJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget is looking about the best, but do I have to book the shuttle beforehand or can we just turn up and get on ? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
