Where to get a taxi at Orlando Port Canaveral?

There is a designated Port Canaveral taxi rank located outside each cruise terminal at the port. The pick-up zone is often used by shuttles, regular taxis, and ride-hailing services. It’s important to note that some taxi companies won’t pick up passengers unless they’ve made a prior booking, so you could find yourself waiting in line for quite some time and still end up with no ride. 

To ensure a vehicle will be waiting for you when you disembark, you can pre-book your transfer with Welcome Pickups and secure a personal and friendly meet-and-greet as you disembark.
