Cruise Port Parking Calculator

How the cruise parking comparison works

Parking adds more to a cruise than most people expect. A week at a terminal lot can cost as much as a day of shore excursions. This calculator prices three ways to reach the ship: park at the port, park off-site and take a shuttle, or ride both directions with a rideshare.

Port parking is the daily rate times the days counted, plus tax. Many ports count both the arrival day and the return day, so a 7-night cruise bills 8 days. Off-site lots charge their own daily rate and sometimes a shuttle fee. Rideshare is one-way fare times two times the number of cars. The lowest of the three is the result, and all inputs stay editable. Terminal parking is convenient because the lots sit near the ships, but off-site lots often run cheaper and include a shuttle. Always confirm the shuttle schedule and return-day rules before you choose.

Here is the default example, using the Port Canaveral page on file: $20 per day plus tax, arrival and return days included. That is 8 days at $20, about $171 with 7 percent tax. A $12 off-site lot for 8 days is $96, and a $45 rideshare each way is $90 round trip. Rideshare wins in this example at $90 because the fare is low, so edit it to match your distance from the port. Add a second car or a long ride and the answer changes quickly, so always enter your own quote.
