Need transportation from Orlando Airport to a hotel near Port Canaveral and then from the port back to the airport after the cruise.

Thanks!!

If you don't want to do a one way car rental or take the cruise line transfers, then try www.mearstransportation.com

please explain the one way car rental. if you rent a car at the airport, where do you turn it in when to go to the port? And are there cars to rent at the port to get back to the airport?

Mandi-

You can rent a car from Avis (at least that's what we are planning) at the Orlando airport and return it to AVIS at Port Canaveral. They have a shuttle bus to and from the ship. So, you rent a car "one way" on each leg of the trip. In your case you would want it maybe overnight the first night, then return it in the morning to the rental company and get shuttled to the ship. Then do the reverse when you are going back to the airport.

I found the cost to be very reasonable and less than the cruise ship's transportation costs. BUT, if your hotel has shuttle service to the port, you may want to try Cruise Fanatic's link and see what they would charge to get you to your hotel. Then, maybe you only need to rent the car from the port back to the airport?
