$14.50 per person each way is surely the cheapest shared service at this time! Even beats Cortrans ($20) by a large margin if you can make one of the 3 scheduled departure times (9am, 11am, 1pm).

 

I believe they contract with Stylus who has nice buses. Good deal!

i believe thats correct, stylus partnered or bought out travel lynx?

Ditto on Smart Two Shuttle. https://www.smart-two.com/en/transportation/orlando-airport/shuttles/port-canaveral/index.html

 

Excellent service to the port or to port canaveral hotels!! Our flight coming into Orlando was weather delayed. At first the delay was going to be almost 4 hours! I called the company to inform them we would be late. They were already aware and making necessary arrangements. Thank heavens after a delay of only 2 hours the airlines saw a window of opportunity and allowed us board! I forgot to call the shuttle to let them know however! When I turned my phone on upon landing I was notified by text and then by call of my new shuttle time! They tracked us the whole way! Price one way for 4 people was $99. It was private, easy, and provide complimentary cold waters. What else could you ask for!

[cjdixon4]

So thankful that I found this thread. I need 3 pick ups in May: airport to hotel, hotel to cruise ship, and ship back to airport. Some good suggestions here.

Who are you booking through? We have a similar situation. Thinking of renting a car for the first two legs. And a shuttle back after the cruise. Wondering what others are finding.

[Sestar]

Does Cortrans drop you off at a hotel by Port Canaveral?

I've decided on Executive VIP for a private shuttle service. We're on vacation, so the last thing we want to do is drive...no car rentals for us, LOL! Since they came so highly recommended from many people, I thought we'd try their company. The owner was really great on the phone, and very accomodating.

I'm cruising in April. I booked a fly, snooze & cruise package through goportcanaveral.com. Airport to hotel transfer, hotel to port transfer, port to airport transfer & 1 night at Stay Bridge Suites for 4 people. Total $256. Transportation is through Travelynx. Seems like a good deal to me. Anyone have any experience with goportcanaveral.com?

 

 

 

How was your experience with goportcanaveral?

[shorepal]

Have had good experiences 4 times with Executive vip limousine.

 

We always self disembark early and they are there waiting.

When u self disembark what time do you normally get off? And what time do you get to the airport?

[grimmy35]

FYI on AAA Access Transport - we used them about six years ago to make this same trip - Orlando to Port Canaveral and they were absolutely dreadful. You might think that in six years they could have gotten their stuff together, but in fact they have a 1 star rating on Yelp with 13 reviews (my own review included) (most recent review just last month). I would advise staying away from them.

[carsonhastie]

Has anyone used AA Access Transport? http://www.aaaccesstransport.com/m/. They seem like they are different then the aaa access transport and have a different website.

 

Looking for transportation for 4. Pick up at Cabana Bay hotel, drop off at port canaveral (Norwegian epic), and return to the Orlando airport.

 

Thanks in advance,

I booked a van with executive VIP limo based on the advice in this thread. What a mistake! Our flight landed about 20 minutes early, and I called to notify the driver (though I was told they monitor the arrival times). Got voice mail. I called again when our baggage came, and once again when we got outside. Three total calls, 3 messages left. We waited over 20 minutes outside. My husband finally got through, and was told that the van had a mechanical issue, but they could send a replacement...in 3 hours!

 

My main issue is this - where were they? Executive VIP never called! We had to track them down. They couldn't have been less helpful! No folllw up, they never checked how we got to the pier, offered a discount on a future trip, nothing! We ended up taking a cab, for the same price.

 

I'm disappointed - will certainly never use them again, and don't think you should either!

Rent a car.

 

We found a coupon online for Avis. Used their main website to book

 

For the 4 of us, $41 (includes taxes and fees) to and $61 back.

 

The Avis lot is in the Cocoa Beach area so not as crazy as the ones close to ship.

 

Their shuttles run every 15 minutes. And if you are booked with them, in a hurry and shuttle is taking to long, take a cab to their lot and they will subtract the fare from your car rental

The company referenced in this communication has had several complaints throughout the Port and Orlando airport contacts. THIS IS NOT THE SAME COMPANY AS VIP TRANSPORTATION GROUP who has been in the airport / cruiseport shuttle industry for over 14 years.

 

We are using them again in Feb 2017 and will post a review upon returning home.

I got a good deal, and it included the Hilton so that was a plus. Would I do it again? Probably not. My instructions said to call when I got my luggage. They gave me a location outside for pick up. No one said the first pick up was over an hour and a half later. I waited outside, standing in the sun, for all of that time. I finally called back and they were rude and told me I had been told the pick up time. Nope, goport was told, but didn't tell me.

 

A van finally arrived but the driver didn't have my name, or a few others who had been waiting as long. To be fair, they do send vans to different locations so you aren't stuck visiting every hotel.

 

The drivers are friendly and helpful, the dispatchers, not so much.

Pickup at the hotel was another crowd of angry people. We finally got the right van, then he turned and went in the opposite direction to pick up more angry people.

 

From the port, it took three busses with a bunch of us dragging our luggage back and forth through the pick up area for almost two hours while being yelled at by the coordinators before finally getting on a bus. I think a few missed their flights. They blamed the new terminal area for the confusion, but their lack of dispatch planning started at the airport and carried through each leg of the package.

 

Not an experience I care to repeat.
