Budget Port Canaveral Pick Up/Drop Off Questions

[stoddaj1]

Anyone have recent experiences with either drop off or pick up after a cruise?   Is there fast drop off as at airport locations?  Is their fast break pick up at Port  Canaveral?  How was the shuttle pick up at the cruise port?  Did you have to call to get picked up?  Thanks in advance.

We used Budget this past April in Port Canaveral. Pre-cruise it was very easy. We had DH drop us (extended family of 6) and all our luggage at the port. He then took the car back to Budget and the shuttle had him back to the port in about 20 min. This couldn't have been quicker or easier.

Attaboy Ashland,

 

The Budget office is only two miles from the port.  As you did, have the rental car driver drop all passengers and luggage off at the port.  Drive to the Budget office to drop off the car and hop on the shuttle back to the port.  Your passengers and will probably still be in line to enter the terminal.  On the return have the rental car driver hop on the shuttle to the Budget office and return to the port for the luggage and passengers.

 

Unfortunately, what usually happens is that all the passengers and all their luggage want to ride the shuttle to and from the Budget office.  This not only makes it miserable for the shuttle driver, but also causes long lines for the shuttle.

Nothing like getting off the ship in a long line for the rental shuttle and having 8 people with luggage in front of you getting on the Budget shuttle.
