Beach Club to Port Canaveral - non disney options

[Sydnerella]

Looking for limo/transfer companies or even EZ car rental options to most efficiently and reasonably get my family of 4 from the Beach Club resort to The Fantasy in Port Canaveral. First cruise with inlaws who will arrive at PC early and dont want them waiting long on us plus wish to maximize on-board time.

What transfer services or rental companies do you recommend for a convenient and cost comparable transfer? A bit more money is fine, just dont want to be 50% higher in costs or anything like that.

We have been told by our agent from Dreams Unlimited and also read here that if you want more early arrival times at PC it is best to avoid the DCL/ME from the resorts - that they tend to have later arrivals and it is random how they are scheduled.

There is a National/Alamo desk at the Dolphin resort, just a short walk from the Beach Club. If they open early enough on the date you're departing, that would probably be the most convenient rental car option.

With a party of 4, I've found that private car services like FL Tours or Happy Limi are basically the same price as DCL transfers. Those services will also allow you to make a quick grocery stop for supplies.

We used FL Tours and were berry happy.

We've used HappyLimo several times and love them. We usually request a large SUV or minivan, minivan is cheapest, last time they sent a limo instead, that was a nice trip.

you can rent one way rental car to drive yourself to the port. I crunched the numbers and could get a full size for around $50 each way. We have driven to and from the port many times and the drive is easy and around 1 hour from the resort. The rental car companies at the port will shuttle you back to the port and pick you up on the way back. It's a little more time consuming with the shuttle, plus the picking up time on the way back,but the price is right and gives you flexibility.

We use Park Avenue Limo and they are FANTASTIC! On time, new cars, excellent drivers and customer service. We used to use Happy Limo, but had a number of mishaps including a driver looking at his cell phone in his lap while driving. Never again.

We just used FL Tours in April and would definitely use them again. We went from the Poly to Port then to CR.

FL Tours is also a sponsor of the DIS - - on the transportation board! They help give us this place to meet and discuss.

We just did this in September! I've used Tiffany Towncars at least a dozen times, and used them in September as well. Our driver met us in the Beach Club lobby at the time we chose, and delivered us and our luggage to Port Canaveral. You can book services online or on the phone, and pay in advance or on the day of.
