transportation for family of 6 mco to port canaveral

[sun&sea]

I have been doing some research on transportation options for DH and I and 4 kids. I keep reading how cheap it is to rent a car from mco, etc. However, when I check all the car companies, it is difficult to find anything under $180/day for a mini van. Even economy cars are expensive. This is for next March. Am I missing something?

 

I did find a rental at Dollar for $58, plus a $50 drop off fee. However, it did not seem convenient to the port. Can anyone confirm this?

 

Thanks,

 

Janet

Minivans for 6 with luggage is a tight squeeze.

 

We paid $130 each way for a private suv suburban

for 6 passengers with Executive vip limo.

 

Cheaper than the rental and less hassle.

 

We also had a 10:00 am flight out.

I use Avis all the time, and typically pay $70 plus taxes for a minivan. However, I checked for next March and they want $195. I'm guessing jacked up prices due to spring break.

Besides Executive VIP I would also check with Cocoa Beach Shuttle. ;)

 

Car rental prices usually drop the closer to your dates as managers try to match reservations with inventory - book something now that you can live with and then keep shopping. Good luck! :)

Dollar is fine, they shuttle you back to port. Drop luggage first, less hassle on the shuttle
