Quick answer
- Port garage or surface lot: $20/day + tax, arrival and departure days both billed, so $160 + tax for a 7-night cruise. Same price for garage and surface lot.
- Cheapest off-site: $71.60 (Rightway, Disney Cruise Line only) or $79.92 (Go Port, 3 ships only). For any line, Park N Cruise at $103.60 is the cheapest, but it's closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
- Hotel: Radisson Resort at the Port adds parking + shuttle for $12.95/night + 7% (about $111 for 8 nights) on top of a room. It's worth it if you were staying the night before anyway.
- Prked: private hosts set their own price and handle the ride to the port themselves. Read the listing for the exact rate and how you'll get back.

Real 7-night cost, side by side
Every total assumes an 8-day stay (7-night cruise, arrival and departure days both counted), which is how the port and most lots bill. Rates are each operator's published rates, checked Nov 2, 2026.

Port garage vs surface lot
The port charges the same $20/day + tax for both. Parking opens at 10 AM on embarkation day, and staff send drivers to the garage or surface lot for that sailing after you drop off bags at the terminal. No reservations, credit cards only.

Off-site shuttle lots
Off-site saves $24–$88 on a 7-night cruise compared with the port. The catches matter more than the daily rate: Go Port only serves three ships, Rightway's $8.95 lot is Disney-only, Park N Cruise closes Tue/Wed, and Port Parking Space and the Radisson add a one-time port entry fee. See every lot ranked in cheapest cruise parking at Port Canaveral.
Prked
Prked lists private driveways and lots, and the host sets the price. Cruisers in Port Canaveral threads often say Prked costs less than the port. The trade-off is the ride. In one 2026 account the host drove the guest to the port but couldn't make the return pickup, and the guest waited about 40 minutes for an Uber (which the host repaid). We couldn't verify a published Prked rate for Port Canaveral, so check the listing and confirm the return-ride plan before you book.
Hotel park & cruise
If you're driving in the night before, a hotel package can cost less overall than a room plus port parking. The Radisson Resort at the Port sells Park & Cruise packages (priced by date) or adds parking + shuttle to any stay for $12.95/night + 7%. See Port Canaveral park and cruise hotels.
Which one should you pick?
- Lowest total: Rightway (Disney) or Go Port (if your ship qualifies), otherwise Park N Cruise if you're not sailing on a Tue/Wed.
- Least hassle: the port garage or surface lot. You walk to the terminal, with no shuttle.
- Arriving the night before: a Radisson stay with parking added.
- Flexible and happy to coordinate with a host: Prked.
