Cape Canaveral car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users
Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Cape Canaveral
Take an uber to the rental office. The free shuttle runs every 45 minutes and you have no idea if it will be there in 5 minutes or 45 minutes
Verified travelerApr 2026
Double check the booking. A lot of people accidentally book at a near by airport Melbourne And there is no shuttle make sure it’s close to the port and offers a shuttle .
NicoleFeb 2025
If you are going in on a Sunday, remember they open at 8am so make your reservation for 9:30, because the first shuttle won’t get you till 8am and that is full so you Have to wait for the next one, I had a reservation for 8am, didn’t drive off the lot till 9:45am and they didn’t adjust my time for drop off, still had to have it at Orlando airport by 8am.
Verified travelerMar 2024
Be aware of the additional port access charge added. Also there are two budget locations close to each other. Double check you are at the one you intend.
LoriannMay 2024
Be prepared for long wait lines, during Cruise disembarking days.
Verified travelerJan 2024
The facility is not large, but the staff were incredibly polite and did their best to accommodate the ebb and flow of reservations. Suggest either not trying to rent a car when the cruise ships all arrive or being very patient.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cape Canaveral
Car rentals in Cape Canaveral are one of the most flexible methods of transport for travelers who wish to transverse various parts of Cape Canaveral with minimal disturbance. Compared to using public transportation means, like the Space Coast Area Transit, which serves specific routes and follows a fixed schedule, using a rental car gives you a lot of freedom when making choices concerning where to visit. Some of the areas you should consider visiting in Cape Canaveral using your rental car include Jetty Park Beach & Pier and U.S. Air Force Space & Missile Museum.
Travelers booking Cape Canaveral car rentals will have many pick-up/drop-off locations in the city. Avis and Thrifty typically operate in Aric by the Sea neighborhood, while Budget car rental is right in the city center. If you're around Port Canaveral, look no further than Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Alamo, SunnyCars, and Payless – they offer convenient transfers (one-way trips) to the cruise terminals. Most non-airport locations provide free pick-up services, but you must call beforehand to make such arrangements during normal business hours. A rental representative will bring your paperwork so you can sign it and hit the road right away.
Melbourne Airport (MLB) is the most suitable airport for travelers arriving in Cape Canaveral using flights. Several Cape Canaveral car rentals in Cape Canaveral are available to travelers from Melbourne Airport. Examples of car rentals that guarantee travelers from Melbourne Airport quality and affordable services are the Budget Car & Truck Rental Melbourne Airport and Hertz Car Rental Melbourne Airport car rental agencies.

The city center offers four charging points: Two Electric Vehicle charging outlets at Cape Canaveral Public Works Department and Banana River Park; and two Tesla destination chargers at the Radisson Resort at the Port and the Residence Inn by Marriott-Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach. When driving an EV through Avon by the Sea, look for a Tesla Destination Charger at Cocoa Beach Pier Arch.

Everything went smoothly, but long wait times, which can only be expected coming off a cruise. At least they had 4 people working the counter as opposed to 1 or 2 at many other rental places!

The vehicle and pick up were good. Shuttle service was very efficient to the port. However, a $9.99 port access fee was added to the bill. This was not parking the price that was booked originally.

Anonymous, Oct 2022
Pick up was a nightmare. Took over 90 minutes to line up and get a car. Took the Budget shuttle from the cruise port. It identified only as Budget and the driver didn't advise that there are 2 locations. Of course I was at the wrong location. Paid an additional fee so I could get a car after the longest wait. The guy behind the counter wanted me to buy the toll pass for $13 per day. Said there was no option of paying if I didn't have exact change and it would cost me $10 to $15 to get to Orlando from Port Canaveral, it cost me no more than $10 and each toll had a person that was there to give change. The toll from Disney to the airport $2.75. It would have cost an additional $70 had we bought the "toll plan" as recommended. If I spent $15, it would surprise me. Drop off was a breeze. Took all of 2 minutes and the interaction was pleasant

It was extremely busy however every person on line was “priority@ except me. So every time they called someone new it was “priority”. I ended up getting passed by a lot of people and waiting for longer than I felt necessary for my car. So that felt like an insult because I am not priority because I never travel because I am a teacher. So how about we start prioritizing teachers and stop prioritizing business people. Thanks

The worst experience I have ever had with a rental car. Long wait time to get car, charged for a car seat when I didn’t have one. Then to top it off the vehicle was infested with German roaches. Spent hours inspecting our luggage’s and throwing away belongings that were infested with the roaches.
