Getting here from Orlando International Airport
Car vs No-Car
- Once at Spanish Main (Location of our condo') you really don't need a car.
- (That is, if you really like walking and and don't expect to range too far.)
- However, most people will feel most comfortable wiwth a car
- There is a decent amount of parking
- Driving to and from the Airport is pretty easy (not a lot of traffic)
- Also, driving around town is not too crowded - though peak times can get busy.
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.
- You can then bypass the lines and go straight to your rental car location in the parking garage at the airport.
- It is free to join these programs.
- The only downside is that the rates may not be as low as you could get on Priceline.
Tips for using UBER: (If you decide Uber is best for getting to or from the beach to the airport)
- Uber is great for getting around Cocoa Beach
- Uber Is about $85 to / from the condo in Cocoa Beach.
