Getting here from Orlando International Airport

Car vs No-Car

• If you are staying at Spanish Main you really don't need a car.  You will be in at the north end of "Downtown Cocoa Beach".  So you will be able to walk to restaurants and some "little" shops.  Uber is also readily available and pickeups are usually within a few minutes.  However, most people rent a car at the airport and make the easy 50min to 1-hour drive.   There is ample parking - even during peak times.  If you can not find a spot near the elevator or stairwell, there  is overflow parking on the grass to the left of the complex entrance.  For more details on parking, you can visit HERE
• If you are staying at Sandcasltes. You are a 1/3 of a mile further than our guests staying at Spanish Main - so a little further and a car probably makes sense - though Uber is REALLY easy here!
  

Tips for renting cars:

• During peak times, the lines at the car rental desks at the airport can be LONG
• Therefore, if time is important to you, it may be best to become a member of a car rental agency.  It is FREE.  Just go to the desired providers (we use National a lot) website and create a free account.
• You can then bypass the lines and go straight to your rental car location in the parking garage at the airport.
• The only downside is that the rates may not be as low as you could get on Priceline.  If you book on Priceline, you will have to go to the desk in the airport after you get off your plane.  Again, post Covid-19 there may not be large lines.

Tips for using UBER:

• Uber is great for getting around Cocoa Beach
• Uber Is about $120 to or from the condo in Cocoa Beach, not including tip. (non-peak)

Independent Drivers:

• Our current recommendation is Wayne, who owns Luxury Chauffeur Services.  The best way to book with him is via his website: https://www.transportersfl.com/book-now/  If that does not work, his phone is 321.704.6568.  Please mention our name, Dave and Stacy Savard.  The approximate price for 2 people is $120 plus tip.  It is a very professional car service.
