Default Transportation Question

Need someone or a shuttle service to drive their car to transport 2 adults and 2 children from the Village of Hillsborough in Brownwood to Port Canaveral with luggage for a 4-day cruise on Royal Caribbean and also picking them up on the return and bringing them back to Hillsborough, July 11th and returning on the 14th at a reasonable cost. Please respond to gcarriera1@comcast.net.
Thank you.

Probably the best idea is for them to drive their own car to Port Canaveral and park in an off-site lot with free shuttle to the ship. Parking is only about $6.50 per day.

The only problem is that they have no car. They'll be visiting from Connecticut.

There is an Enterprise Car Rental office in LSL. They may have a deal for a 4 day rental. Parking off-site at the cruise terminal should save you some money. At approximately 150 miles round trip, drop off and again 150 miles pick up, doubt you could get anyone to do it for less than the cost of car rental plus parking.

I don't know that person. Sorry. I am from Greenwich, CT and have been in The Villages since July of last year.

Apparently I'm not replying to the post I thought I was. I'm not sure how to do this. Just disregard my last post to you. Thanks for the info though.

There is a taxi service which I used once for my Mother-in-Law and Aunt when the came into Orlando's airport. Not sure if they would go to Port Canaveral or not. All I have in my cell phone is "Taxi Service Bruce" (that's his name), drove nice, larger cars. (352) 552-5546. I would think it would be quite expensive though.
Good luck!

Google the "pay what you want taxi company of cocoa beach" . They say on their webpage they will do a round trip from The Villages to Port Canaveral for four people for $385.

Give Vinnys car service a call. That are the type of trips he does. We have used him several times and were very happy. He lives in the villages. His number is 352-205-6606
