Parking by terminal
The port splits its cruise terminals into two groups off S.R. 528, and each terminal has parking next to it, so on-site parkers walk to the ship with no shuttle. Your cruise line or travel agent assigns the terminal, and the port notes that assignments can change, so check before you drive.
North side "A" terminals (Exit 54A)
Cruise Terminal 5 (9245 Charles Rowland Dr.), Terminal 6 garage (9241 Charles Rowland Dr.), Terminal 8 garage (9155 Charles Rowland Dr.) and Terminal 10 garage (9005 Charles Rowland Dr.).
South side "B" terminals (Exit 54B)
Cruise Terminal 1 (9050 Discovery Rd.), Terminal 2 (180 Christopher Columbus Dr.) and Terminal 3 (220 Christopher Columbus Dr.).

Cheapest Port Canaveral parking
The lowest flat rate on our list is Americas Best Value Cruise Parking at $5.95/day. Two catches matter more than a dollar or two: Go Port ($7.95/day) only serves the Carnival Mardi Gras and Royal Caribbean Star of the Seas, and Cruisetime and Park N Cruise share a facility that is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Park Port Canaveral's covered Cocoa Beach garage lists $12.00/day plus tax and a $7.50 entry fee, so compare totals, not daily rates. See every port's lowest rate on our cheapest cruise parking in Florida page.
Port garage vs off-site lot: when each wins
On an 8-day stay the gap between the $20 port rate and the cheapest off-site lot is about $112 before taxes and fees. The port garage still makes sense if you arrive late, have mobility needs, or simply don't want to wait for a shuttle. The port also says the same $20/day rate applies to RVs, and that it has oversized spaces for RVs and buses. Port parking opens at 10 AM for embarkation, and returning passengers can get to their cars at any time.
