Cape Canaveral car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who rented a car in Cape Canaveral

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

  • With Cape Canaveral car hire, you get to see one of the most interesting parts of Florida without being held back by the limitations of public transportation. Drive your car hire to sights such as the famous Kennedy Space Center, The Missile Museum or the Manatee Sanctuary Park and enjoy completely unique experiences in the region. Despite being a busy city, you can also enjoy miles of beaches with natural dunes that support the habitats of endangered species, such as sea turtles and birds. See the city from the Exploration Deck or drive alongside the Banana River with a huge alligator population.
  • When you are considering car hire in Cape Canaveral, you may find the widest variety of deals can be found at Melbourne Airport (MLB). Based an average of 38min away by car, what better solution than to fly in and drive off the airport lot with a car hire? You will be able to find a wide range of companies to assist you with car hire at the airport, including global favourites Avis, Dollar, Budget, National, Hertz, Thrifty and more.
  • With your car hire in Cape Canaveral, you will be driving on the right-hand side of the road. The roads are in great condition for the most part, and you shouldn’t find too many issues as English is the language of all signage. You should always buckle up and stay off your mobile phone when driving in Florida and stick under the blood alcohol limit of 0.08%. If it is summer when you visit, try to get a car with air conditioning, as Florida is humid and hot.
  • With any city in the States with great attractions, you will find the biggest challenge is always congestion. Cape Canaveral is not as bad as some parts of Florida, but it certainly has some frustrating times of the day such as rush hour between 06:00 and 09:00, and again the afternoons around 16:00 to 18:00. Use a GPS tracker when driving on the State Road 401, Kennedy Parkway or the NASA Parkway, as tourism also pushes up the traffic volume.

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.

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.
