sherdawgg Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Traveling on Mariner of the Seas January 10th out of Port Canaveral, Fl. We are flying into Orlando MCO. Has anyone used Uber or Lyft from airport to port and back? What was estimated price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Typically $60-$90 depending if you get caught in surge pricing coming off the ship when hundreds are competing for rides. A rental car can also be an affordable option and provides much better flexibility depending on your plans. RickinSTL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National (and probably others, as well) does not have a one-way rental penalty in FL so you can rent the car at the airport in Orlando and return it in Cape Canaveral without paying anything extra. That way you have a way to get around to go out to eat, go to the Kennedy Space Center (for example) and keep your bags safe all day. You can return the car after hours. It is the right option for us, every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Kind of off topic, but is it easy enough to get an Uber at PC? We're docking there early next week and would like to Uber to Cocoa Beach. Is the pickup area well marked? Dock time is 7:00 a.m. If we waited until 11ish to get off the ship, would we likely avoid surge pricing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found the disembarkation process extremely quick at PC (about 25 min to scan out, go through customs, collect luggage and find shuttle), so you might be standing around for a while if you want to wait for transportation until 11.

If you are talking about PC as a port stop, then you shouldn't have much of an issue with surge pricing. A lot of folks who are going on excursions are taking private transportation so you won't have as much competition for rideshares. You should have no issues getting an Uber or Lyft. I haven't docked there for a port stop, so I can't really attest to where you'll need to walk to catch the rideshares, but I can't imagine it will be difficult to find.

It's very easy to get an Uber at Canaveral. There isn't a designated area for ride shares. They just come to the pick up area like anyone picking someone up.

WAAAYTOOO Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 In Feb we stopped at Port Canaveral (Anthem) and we hired an Uber to run a few errands. I was very surprised how expensive it was. The Uber in CC was more expensive than it had been in Bayonne. I don't know if surge pricing was in effect but it cost us waaay more than we expected it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, should be pretty easy to get a ride share from the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
