car rental and shuttles

Good day,

will be visiting these ports in Oktober Snowbird migration cruise Adventure of the Seas

love to be independent therefore like to hire cars wherever it is possible

love nature, hiking and walking in a lovely city, strolling in fishing villages is always nice to do.

bus tours are not our cup of tea so if we can avoid them ….

but a local buss that goes to … not a problem.

I do thank everyone for there suggestions as I am starting to plan a little late due to personal circumstances and I am starting to get really nervous we get stuck in between ports

all private tours ( roll call ) are fully booked and those offered by the ship are getting more expensive as we wait

( plus they have a lot bus tours )

so my main question is : can we rent a car with shuttle service at the cruise port ( price does not matter )

for these locations :

Charlottetown(Prince Edward Island) / Canada ( fishing villages and beaches ? )

Sydney(Cape Breton Island) / Canada ( cabot trail )

Halifax / Canada ( Peggy's cove )

SaintJohn (New Brunswick) / Canada ( Bay of Fundy to check out the tides )

BarHarbor (ME)* / USA ( Acadia National Park Cadillac Mountain)

Portland(ME) / USA

Boston(MA) / USA

arriving Port Canaveral ( love to visit Kennedy Space centre and have time enough to drive around )

if renting our own car for a day is a problem , all suggestions are welcome

( no need of fancy restaurants shopping or busy bus tours )

thank you for your time to write me back

best regards from Belgium

In most ports you can get a car, but Bar Harbor is the exception. You would need to take a taxi to the airport out of town, and then back.

You can definitely rent a car in Halifax and Sydney and some companies pick you up at the dock. Here are two informational documents for these ports:

Bar Harbor just book the Acadia National Park tour on their website directly.

Frieda, if you decide to stay local rather than visiting Peggy's Cove then Halifax is very walkable. We enjoyed walking to the Citadel and seeing the Public Gardens on the way back. It looked like there was more in walking distance, but we had early dinner plans.

Have a great trip!

thank you all for your responses

You don’t need to rent a car for Boston, public transportation is easily accessed from the pier.
