Is a shuttle worth it?

From Cape Canaveral the port is 1–3 miles away. For one or two people, a $10–12 shuttle is good value. For a family of four, $40–48 each way may cost more than a rideshare for a trip this short, so compare before you book.

Coming back

Ask whether the shuttle runs on return morning and where it picks up. At the port, rideshare pickups are split into Zone A (north terminals 5, 6, 8 and 10) and Zone B (south terminals 1 and 3).

Staying in Cocoa Beach?

Few oceanfront hotels confirm a shuttle on their own pages. See Cocoa Beach hotels for which ones let you park and what the ride costs.
