Port Canaveral cruise parking: every option and what it costs

Every Port Canaveral terminal has its own port-run garage or lot at the same price: $20 per day plus tax, counting both your arrival and return days. A 7-night cruise costs $160 plus tax. You pay by card when you drive in, and there are no reservations.

Private lots with free shuttles cost $125 to $144 for the same week, fees included, so the savings are smaller than at other ports. Go Port is far cheaper at $72, but only for three ships. Most private lots don't serve Disney. Pick your terminal below to see what serves it.

    Port parking counts 8 days for a 7-night cruise

    The port charges for both the day you arrive and the day you return, so a 7-night cruise is billed as 8 days: $160 plus tax. Private lots often price the same way, so compare totals.

    No reservations at the port

    Port garages are first come, first served, and open at 10 a.m. on sailing day. They rarely fill, but if you want a guaranteed space, book a private lot.

    Common questions

    How much does it cost to park at Port Canaveral for a cruise?

    $20 per day plus tax at the port garages, including arrival and departure days. A 7-night cruise comes to $160 plus tax.

    Can I reserve parking at Port Canaveral?

    Not at the port garages; they are first come, first served. Private lots near the port take reservations.

    Where do I park an RV at Port Canaveral?

    The port charges the same $20 per day for vehicles and RVs. Ask at your terminal's lot, since garages have height limits.
