Transportation - Ft. Lauderdale to Orlando

[lighthouse80]

My cousin and I are going on a cruise in April which leaves from Ft. Lauderdale which we are flying into. When our cruise is over we would like to head to Orlando for 2 days and fly out of there. Does anyone have any recommendations for transportation from Ft. Lauderdale to Orlando? If possible something to pick us up from the ship pier in Ft. Lauderdale and drop us off at our hotel in Orlando...

 

Thanks!

That is a 3-4 hour drive. The best solution is to rent a car.

Thanks royalcruz! We saw a couple of shuttle services online and thought it might be cheaper to do it that way...But it might be just as easy to rent a car, and that way we don't have to worry about having to work around the shuttle schedule as well...

Absolutely, rent a car. That'd be much easier than paying a service to drive you to Orlando, where you'll still need a car to get around, and then pay them to dead head back to FLL. Florida has no penalty for one way car rentals, sometimes it's less expensive to rent a car in a little used place and drop it off in a well used place (like Orlando). Couldn't hurt to check, and with very inexpensive GPS rentals now, the drive is easy.
