Why Book a Private Cruise Transfer Instead of Driving?
Driving yourself to Port Canaveral means leaving your car in a parking lot for the entire length of your cruise — typically 7 to 14 days. Port Canaveral parking rates run $15–$20 per day, meaning a 7-day cruise costs $105–$140 in parking alone. Add fuel costs and the stress of navigating an unfamiliar port, and a flat-rate private transfer becomes the smarter, more relaxing choice.
