I would look into a SUV or mini van rental. Much cheaper. I would stick with Budget or Hertz, close to hotels and free shuttle to port!

We booked transfers with Quicksilver for our upcoming trip. In our circumstances (cruise followed by 3 nights at Universal) any way that we worked it, a rental car wouldn't be much cheaper - if at all. And there is something to be said for avoiding rental desks, dragging luggage around, etc. I know a lot of people love renting a car, but it just wasn't worth it for us.

I have booked Royal Transportation. (321-961-8900) for a pick up from the Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral. They were recommended by the Raddison, where I will be staying before our cruise. They are charging $80 for the four of us, one way. So with tip that will be about $100.

For us it made more sense than renting a car, since we didn't want to deal with returning the rental the very next day.

They will take us back to the airport after our cruise as well.

Our cruise is Nov 14, so I don't know if they are good are not...just recommended by the hotel.

I've used Tiffany Towncar without any issues. However since you are talking
about airport to Port Canaveral and then from the port to WDW I would go with
renting a mini van and a hotel at the port for the night before that has a shuttle
and will let you park your car there. Once you get back and arrive at WDW you
could either take the car back and use DME for the trip back to the airport
which would be free, or you could just keep the rental and return it to the
airport.

I think it would be less of a hassle factor to just have the rental car but it
might be a push on the price. When are you going? During a holiday time?
