beckzay Posted April 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2017 We've booked Cortrans shuttle service to and from port canaveral. When we disembark it says to go through customs and then call for a shuttle. Does anyone have any experience on how long this takes usually? We have to be at the airport for a 2:45 flight and I'm worried the shuttle won't arrive quickly. What has your experience been with them and picking up at the port? Thanks!

CruiserBruce Posted April 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2017 You have plenty of time to make a 2:45 flight. I would expect they will have a shuttle a short distance away when you call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteerageJoe Posted April 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Did you book a shared shuttle or private service with Cortrans? Last time I checked the shared shuttles start their first run back to Orlando at 8:15am then 9am and so on. It appears the longest you will wait is 45 minutes should you just miss one. A very likely scenario is finding yourself at the airport by 9am with many hours to kill before your flight! Have you considered a rental car instead to explore instead of airport waiting?

I priced it out, it's cheaper for the 6 of us to use the shuttle rather than rent a minivan both ways. Also, we have family that live in Florida who we don't see much and they are meeting us at the airport to do lunch. Id rather be early than stressed out ;) Edited April 19, 2017 by beckzay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted April 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2017 When we called, they were there already. The bus waits to fill up and then departs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did this a couple weeks ago with them. We did self assist and got off around 7:30. We went thru customs and headed out the door to the "arranged ground transportation desk" and they directed us to them and they were waiting. Very easy... You arrange a pick up time with them. We got off earlier and they just took us then to the airport... They were great. We had a flight at 3PM and we were there very early. Would def. use them again.

beckzay Posted April 21, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What did you all tip them? I haven't used a shuttle service in a LONG time so I'm not sure what's an acceptable amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltsnh Posted April 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 21, 2017 There were 2 of us and I tipped $10.00 each way. I gave the dispatcher at the port a few dollars because he got us on an earlier shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
