Everything about parking at Port Canaveral for a cruise. Official lots, prices, booking, off-site options and the best strategy for short and long cruises.
You are parking for seven days. The difference between planning ahead and arriving without a reservation is $50 and two hours of frustration.
The Port Canaveral Authority operates five parking facilities within the port complex. Lots A, B, C, D, and G range from covered garage parking to open surface lots. All are within walking distance of the cruise terminals. Rates run approximately $15-20 per day. The Port Authority lots are 24-hour security, well-lit, and the most convenient option. Book in advance at portcanaveral.com/parking — they fill on holiday sailings.
Multiple private companies operate off-site cruise parking facilities near Port Canaveral. These typically run $10-14/day, offer free shuttle service to the terminals, and have available capacity when the port lots are full. Book through Park 'N Fly, CruiseParking.com or similar services. Read recent reviews before booking — quality varies between operators.
If you are flying in the day before your cruise, consider parking at a hotel with a cruise parking package. Multiple hotels near Port Canaveral offer park-sleep-sail packages: pay for one night, leave your car for the duration of the cruise. Total cost often comes out below port parking rates. The hotel provides a morning shuttle to the terminal.
