Kennedy Space Center From Orlando Without a Rental Car

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is about 50 miles east of Orlando, roughly an hour's drive from Orlando International Airport, and the visitor complex says no public transportation serves it. Without a rental car, the simplest way to go is a private ride: point-to-point with a set pickup time, or by the hour with your driver nearby all day.

Getting there

• The entrance is on Space Commerce Way on Merritt Island. The visitor complex recommends searching for "Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex", not "Kennedy Space Center", in map apps.
• Parking is $15 for cars, and the visitor complex allows rideshare and taxi drop-offs and pickups in Lot 4.

Two ways to ride

Point-to-point: we drop you off and pick you up at a set time. Good when you know how long you'll stay.

By the hour: your driver stays nearby for the hours you book, ready when you are. Good for days with more than one stop, such as the visitor complex and the beach, or a cruise-day pairing.

Pair it with your cruise

The visitor complex is about 16 miles from Port Canaveral's cruise terminals, so it fits well around a cruise:

• Before you sail: spend the day before your cruise at the visitor complex, then stay near the port for an easy embarkation morning.
• After you sail: if your flight leaves in the evening, an hourly booking can take you from the ship to the visitor complex and then on to MCO. Ask us to quote it when you book.
