WackyCactus Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Hello everyone, I need some help here. Last time I was porting out of Orlando, I took a Lyft to my hotel, then a Lyft from the port back to MCO, and felt I needed a loan afterwards to pay for that. Does anyone know of a shuttle service that they would recommend that runs after 530pm to get to my hotel?? I got the one from the port to the airport and I'm good there. I'm just running into some issues on a later in the evening shuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Stay near the airport, use the hotel shuttle from the airport then either Cortrans or Cruise Control Transportation to the port in the morning. IRMO12HD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmellison Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'm looking in to goport.com. they offer packages that would take you to hotel from airport, to port next day, and to airport at end of cruise for one price. I saw a recommendation from a blogger who happens to also be some sort of TA. havent booked it yet but maybe worth a look ... Good luck!

Ampurp85 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 GoPort is a good cheap option. I have used them from the port to the airport in MCO and it was way cheaper than an Uber/Lyft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhilding10 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'm not sure where your hotel is so this may be completely irrelevant information and if so I apologize. But for a few comparable items, I just went through the same thing. We're staying at a hotel in Cocoa Beach and needed transportation from MCO to the hotel, then after the cruise from Port Canaveral back to MCO. From hotel to Port on the morning of the cruise we're good. GoPort.com offered us (2 adults / 2 children) from MCO to Port Canaveral at $120. That was MCO to Port only, however, they wouldn't do anything MCO to a hotel. Cortans was $30 per person each way, so $120, same as GoPort. Cocoa Beach Shuttle offered us MCO to our hotel for $85 flat fee, and then from Port to MCO at the end of the cruise for $89. We found Cocoa Beach Shuttle to be the cheapest and easiest. They will send a van right to MCO and we may share a ride we may not, but we know we're going to get there and they offered services well past 5:30 (really late did have an upcharge to be transparent). We tried to find estimates with Uber/Lyft but that can be unreliable given surge/time/etc. but found that they wouldn't necessarily beat $85 in most cases, or so we thought. Hope that helps!

Surge pricing is running well over $200 from the port to MCO post cruise during the heaviest debarkation period, so the shuttles could be the better idea if you don't have the luxury of time to wait it out. nhilding10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 What is the typical cost of Uber/Lyft from MCO to Port Canaveral? It will be around 10 a.m. on a Friday, so I wouldn't expect a large surge/time increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenTimeHero Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 My buddy and I booked with Port Canaveral Quick Shuttle. It was around $25 a person and like $50 round trip https://www.portcanaveralquickshuttle.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting price will be around $68-71 for 2-3 people. It was $95 for Lyft XL when we had 5 people last Oct, Sun morning and nothing happening but people leaving for cruises. I paid $77 as a single person in Jan 2022, on a Monday morning. This is all pre-tip amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
