Sanford to the Space Coast
Sanford Airport (SFB) to Kennedy Space Center
Landing at Orlando Sanford International (SFB) and heading for Kennedy Space Center? Sanford is north of Orlando and the Space Coast is east, so the drive is about fifty-five minutes on roads that skirt the city rather than cross it. Pixie Rides meets you at baggage claim in your terminal and drives your group straight there for one flat rate per vehicle, not per person. Both SFB terminals are served.

Flat rate per vehicle, not per person — a family of six pays the same flat rate. Kennedy is usually a day out rather than somewhere you stay, so most people book the way back at the same time and save 5%.
A day out, and the way back
Kennedy is a day out, not somewhere you stay, so the way back matters as much as the way there. Book both legs together and your driver is waiting when you have finished, rather than you looking for a ride on the Space Coast at the end of a long day — an hour from Sanford and further from most hotels. Tell us roughly when you expect to be done when you book; if the day runs differently, call us.
Landing at Sanford
Sanford is a small airport, and that works in your favour on arrival — the walk from the gate to baggage claim is short and the kerb is close. Your driver waits for you at baggage claim in your terminal, holding a name sign. There are two terminals, and we meet you in the one you land in — tell us which when you book, along with your flight number, and that is where your driver will be.
Flight monitoring
We monitor your flight. If your flight moves, we move your pickup. A person checks it against the airline. Nothing moves on its own. Every airport pickup includes 60 minutes of free wait time — and it starts when you land, not when you were due. Close to pickup, call us rather than wait for us to spot it — a change in the last few hours reaches us fastest from you.
Vehicles for every group size
Premium SUVs carry up to six guests with luggage, and larger groups are quoted individually once we know the numbers — see our full fleet. Travelling with a day's worth of bags and camera gear? Tell us your group size and suitcase count and we'll match the right vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the drive from Sanford Airport to Kennedy Space Center?
About fifty-five minutes. Sanford is north of Orlando and the Space Coast is east, so the route skirts the city rather than crossing it.
Why does this cost more than the same trip from Orlando International?
Because it is a longer drive. The run from Sanford to Kennedy is about fifty-five minutes rather than about forty-five. The SFB transfer is from $209 per vehicle; the same trip from MCO is from $179.
Can you take us back to Sanford at the end of the day?
Yes — book both legs together when you arrange the outbound. Round trips save 5%. Out and back is from $397 rather than $418. Tell us roughly when you expect to be finished; if the day runs differently, call us.
Does a launch day change my pickup?
It can — launch days bring traffic and road closures to the Space Coast. That is why the launch schedule is checked before your pickup, so your driver sets off in time to get you there.
Is $209 per person or per vehicle?
Priced per vehicle, not per person. From $209 covers your whole group from Sanford to Kennedy Space Center, and out and back is from $397.
Where does my driver meet me at SFB?
At baggage claim in your terminal, holding a name sign. Sanford has two terminals — Terminal A and Terminal B — so tell us which you land in when you book and that is where your driver will be waiting.
What if my flight into Sanford is delayed?
We monitor your flight. If your flight moves, we move your pickup. A person checks it against the airline. Nothing moves on its own. Every airport pickup includes 60 minutes of free wait time — and it starts when you land, not when you were due. Close to pickup, call us rather than wait for us to spot it — a change in the last few hours reaches us fastest from you.
Do you provide car seats for the drive to Kennedy?
Car seats and boosters — free, fitted before we arrive. We carry rear-facing infant seats, forward-facing child seats, and backless boosters, up to 3 in our Expedition and Suburban. Your driver fits the seats before we arrive — have a look before you get in.
