Sanford Cruise Transfers
Sanford Airport (SFB) to Port Canaveral
Starting your cruise from Orlando Sanford International (SFB)? Sanford is north of Orlando and the port is east on the coast, so the drive is about an hour — a straight run rather than a trip through the city. Pixie Rides meets you at baggage claim in your terminal and drives your group to your cruise terminal for one flat rate per vehicle, not per person. Both SFB terminals are served.

Every cruise terminal
We serve all Port Canaveral terminals and all cruise lines, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian, and MSC. Your driver drops you at your terminal's curbside luggage drop-off. When you book, tell us your cruise line and boarding time and we'll confirm the pickup time with you the day before.
Landing at Sanford
Sanford is a small airport, and on a cruise day that matters — the walk from the gate to baggage claim is short and the kerb is close, so you are on the road sooner than a large airport would allow. 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.
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 cruise luggage, and larger groups are quoted individually once we know the numbers — see our full fleet. Every vehicle has dedicated luggage space — tell us your suitcase count when you book and we'll match the right vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the drive from Sanford Airport to Port Canaveral?
About an hour, depending on your terminal and the traffic. Sanford is north of Orlando and the port is east on the coast, so the route runs across rather than through the city.
Why does this cost more than a transfer from Orlando International?
Because it is a longer drive. The run from Sanford to the port is about an hour rather than about forty-five minutes. The SFB transfer is from $219 per vehicle; the same trip from MCO is from $179.
Which cruise terminal do you drop at?
All of them, and all cruise lines — including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian, and MSC. Your driver drops you at your terminal's curbside luggage drop-off. Tell us your cruise line and boarding time when you book.
Is $219 per person or per vehicle?
Priced per vehicle, not per person. From $219 covers your whole group from Sanford to your cruise terminal, and a round trip is from $416.
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 on cruise day?
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.
Can you collect us from the port when we disembark?
Yes — add the return leg when you book your arrival. Round trips save 5%. An SFB round trip to the port is from $416 rather than $438.
Do you provide car seats for the drive to the port?
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.
