Help!! Ref Melbourne

[benny2bunny]

We are hiring a car when we land in Orlando and the company only have a location at Melbourne airport, which means that when we do our Disney cruise we have to drop the car off at Melbourne airport and then get to port canaveral. Does anyone have any idea how long it will take to get to the port and if taxi's are in good supply at the airport, and I don't suppose anyone would have an idea of the cost of a taxi, two adults and one child , knowing me with bucket loads of luggage. Any info would be greatly appreciated, direction would also help, from Orlando to Melbourne, and Melbourne to Port Canaveral.
Cheers:

Have you checked the Radisson Hotel at the Port? they have a car rental, I think it's Hertz, but not sure. They can be reached at 1-800-333-3333 central reservations, I'd ask them about the rental agency! It's about an hour drive I would say from Melbourne to the Port, the airport is not that large but getting a cab should not be a problem. The Radisson would be alot closer and cheaper! Good Luck!!!

You can also get a shuttle from the Orlando airport...this would save you time.
Here are some options from MCO:

Unfortunatly we fly into Orlando about four day's prior and are staying at the Grand Floridian, but we have already booked the car via a company in the u.k, which told us that Melbourne airport was only about 15 mins away, stupidly I believed them without checking prior, I believe that we are actually renting via budget but well I am not totally sure, hence I would really need to know the distance and the estimated cost of a cab, and roughly how londg it will take us to get there, I mean I need to try and get to the port by about 11.00 ish if not alittle earlier, so how much time should I give getting from Orlando to Melbourne and Melbourne to Port, my guess is I've got to be loking at at least a couple of hours, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
