Help!
I have been looking at the rates to pick up a rental car in Port Canaveral and rent for three days returning it to the airport and the rates being quoted are extreme!
I have tried Hertz,
Avis and Budget and they are all asking for over $100 a day for a minivan (family of 5). I can rent the same vehicle at the airport for half that amount.
If I can't find a cheaper car rental, what is the best/cheapest way to get my family to the airport to pick up a rental car from there?
Thanks!
JC
Here are some other options, not sure if they will help you or not. Sometimes people on the same crusie split the cost of a limo so its not too expensive. Not sure if anyone here is interested but that might be an option too.
This came off the Dis Tip board.
After car rental, the next recommended alternative to a taxi is a shuttle service.

My own thoughts on this couple I have found Michael and Marlene to really care about their guests and go over the edge to please. Very honorable, honest and most of all reliable.
