ClaireA1978 Posted March 23 #1 Share Posted March 23 Hi can anybody advise how much a taxi is from Airport to Cocoa Beach area or recommend a shuttle (not CB Shuttle as they are quoting $88 per person) Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted March 23 #2 Share Posted March 23 Idk but we took a taxi from Miami to Ft Lauderdale and I didnt notice but it was a larger suv vehicle and apparently charged a 30% premium. Be sure and look to see if any surcharges or get in a small compact taxi. Was $130 before tips. The distance is probably similar to yours from orlando to the port. Your distance might be be further from the port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 23 #3 Share Posted March 23 There's recent information out on the Florida Departure board here. I think Uber/Lyft is around $80, so taxis would be similar. My suggestion is to check out 1 day car rentals. Lots of agencies in Cocoa Beach Port Canaveral and no one way charges. Depending on # in party might be the cheaper option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have a car for the pre cruise stay as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop off in coco beach. Drop family and luggage off first. The return the car alone. And take the shuttle back. Or walk across to Wendy’s and take an Uber.

But we’ve used them too with great success. Also Cruise Control Transportation. Worth a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an after-hours or off-cruise day booking? Private or shared? Generally private vans are per ride, not per person and shared shuttles are per person somewhere in the $20 - $40 range.

Emails received from CBS huttles as follows 'Good afternoon, 1 passenger after 8pm is $88+18% gratuity. If you would like to schedule, please let me know or call our office at 321-631-4144 at least 2 days before your travel date. Booking agent, Jasmine' So that is $200ish for the two of us, Lyft coming up between $70-80 so I think we will go with that but will have a look at the other recs first Many Thanks All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteerageJoe Posted March 23 #11 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Ok, now it makes sense - after hours you will probably not find any cheaper from the usual recommended transport companies. Uber / Lyft is your best best but try one other company - Cocoa Beach Express. They show really cheap rates $28 - for all shuttles on the website ( and check their Facebook page). These guys are affiliated with the Radisson and other local hotels so I trust them. But it is your call! Do let us know what they say - this service could be a game changer for folks staying near the Port before a cruise.
