Jodestar Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I was wondering if Uber is allowed to drive people to the port terminal? I have read some conflicting information. I am staying at an Airbnb in Cape Canaveral, and a taxi guy wants $25. I feel like this is a lot of money... Uber would be 1/2 of that. Please help!

firebuck Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Yes! You can definitely use Uber. They're allowed to go right up to the terminal. We called an Uber to take us to KSC when we got off in Cape Canaveral and it was super easy and fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Before 10am they aren’t supposed to drop off. Mine just acted like he was my friend dropping me off. I sat in the front. spiralqueen, Baked Alaska, SpeedNoodles and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monctonguy Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 good to know. Wondering how hard/easy it is so get an Uber to Orlando and then back as well.....with it being quite a drive, is the demand there that Uber drivers don't mind this?

Pretty easy. I would not expect an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 ok....good to know....debating between staying a hotel that offers a shuttle to port and back to airport...or just staying anywhere and going with an Uber....I thought maybe the distance would be an issue but good t know!

I've rented a car before but next time I've pre-booked Coltran's hotel shuttle service from my hotel near the Orlando airport to PC. I can do a rental car for $50 all in, gas, tolls, etc. That's one-way. Coltran's shuttle is $20 one way, much less money than an Uber or rental. $40 round trip. https://www.cortrans-shuttle.com/ Pick up at the airport or at ~30 area hotels. If your hotel has an airport shuttle but not on Coltran's list just take the hotel shuttle back to the airport in the morning and use Coltran's shuttle to get to port. The advantage of Uber is they run on your schedule. A shuttle will do a milk run stopping at a number of hotels until they are full then they head to port. Uber's fare estimator has it ~ $60 one way but it's often $80 due to surge pricing for thousands getting off the ship. $40 RT vs. $120 RT, shuttle vs. Uber. $40 RT vs. $100 RT, shuttle vs rental. monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 yeah..I had seen that the Uber or Lyft was still a little pricey. I have in the past done the shuttle thing a few times but I hate waiting at 10 hotels or more and not getting there as early as I like. Ideally if I could find a hotel in Port Canaveral to stay at and just take an Uber to the ship in the am....BUT, then you need a ride from the airport to the hotel and then of course from the cruise port to the airport on the return so it defn makes it a little more complicated and potentially costly going out of Port Canaveral after doing so many cruises out of Tampa and Fll/Mia......

Stay in PC before but then after the cruise just take Coltran's shuttle one way, PC to MCO airport. $20. Flights can be cheaper at times into MCO so consider all costs for the trip. monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can checkout what is the last hotel pickup at the shuttle route and stay there ? I also hate to visit all the hotels with the shuttle.

I also hate to visit all the hotels with the shuttle. But I love saving money Port Everglades is the easiest (and cheapest) port followed by Miami. Port Canaveral and Galveston are pretty equal in terms of cost for Uber or shuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassie Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hello! This was from last March 2019. Just wondering if anyone has any updates and recently used Uber. We are cruising to Port Canaveral in May and would rather rideshare with our group (because we can obviously just split it the fare there and back.) Has anyone recently had any experience with ordering an Uber from Port Canaveral to Kennedy Space Center? Thanks for any help you can provide!!

I work Uber they actually try to get more Uber drivers down there by boosting the trip prices. They try to do different ports like this as well!
