The Cheapest Shuttle Service from Orlando Airport to
Port Canaveral!

How much does a shuttle ride cost from Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral?

At Happy Limousine, our shuttle costs $19.99 per person each way. Go Port, the best-known operator on this route, charges $29.99 per person from Orlando International — so a family of four saves $40 each way with us, or $80 on the round trip.

Nothing is added at checkout: no gratuity and no port fees. If you would like to tip your driver, $3–$5 per person is standard. Child seats are not provided, though you are welcome to bring your own.

How Far Is Port Canaveral From Orlando Airport?

Port Canaveral is about 45 miles east of Orlando International Airport (MCO), and the drive takes 60–75 minutes depending on traffic. Our shared shuttle takes you from Orlando International Airport (MCO), or from hotels within 5 miles of MCO, to your Port Canaveral cruise terminal. If you would rather have a vehicle to yourself on your own schedule, see our private transfers to Port Canaveral.

Shared vs. Private: Which to Book

The shared shuttle is the cheapest way to reach Port Canaveral. You travel on a fixed schedule alongside other cruise passengers at $19.99 per person, which suits travellers who pack light and can work around our departure times.

A private transfer costs more per booking but goes direct — no other stops, your own vehicle, and we monitor your flight. It tends to work out better for families with small children, anyone checking several large cases, or arrivals outside our departure windows. See private limo and SUV transfers to Port Canaveral →

Port Canaveral Shuttle FAQ

How much does the shuttle to Port Canaveral cost?

$19.99 per person, from Orlando International Airport or from hotels within 5 miles of MCO. No gratuity, port fees or fuel surcharge are added. See the shuttle schedule.

Do I need to tip my Port Canaveral shuttle driver?

A tip is suggested. Our $19.99 per person shuttle fare has no gratuity, port fees or fuel surcharge added, so the price you book is the price you pay. If you enjoyed your ride, $3 to $5 per person is the suggested tip and the industry standard for shared shuttle service.

Will the shuttle pick me up at exactly the scheduled time?

Not always. Shuttle pickup times are estimates and can change. If you’re on a tight schedule or need to leave at an exact time, book our private service instead.

Will the shuttle wait if my flight is delayed?

No. The shuttle leaves on its fixed schedule and can’t wait for delayed flights, so no wait-time charges apply. If a delay would be a problem for you, book our private service instead.

Where will I meet my driver at Orlando International Airport?

The shuttle picks up at Terminal B only, Level 1 (ground transportation), spaces B54–B58 and B68–B73. Arriving at Terminal A or C? Walk to Terminal B, Level 1. Call us at 407-856-1280 before heading to the pickup area and we’ll tell you which space the shuttle is in. Shuttles run on a strict schedule and don’t wait for late arrivals.

I'm getting off a cruise at Port Canaveral. Where do I catch the shuttle back?

At the port's commercial vehicle pickup area. Be there 30 minutes before your departure (9:00, 10:00 or 11:00 AM). The shuttle runs on a strict schedule and can't wait for late passengers, so if you think you'll be slow getting off the ship, book a later departure or a private car.
