JAX to cruise terminal
 
Hi all,
What is the least expensive way to get from JAX to the cruise terminal? Thanks.

I mean, Jacksonville airport...

JAX airport shuttle (Floridian Transportation) charges $35 flat rate per person to cruise port. That would probably be the cheapest. But are you travelling straight from the aiport to the cruise port on the day of departure?

Possibly rent a car for a few days before the cruise (Carnival), then return car before heading onto the cruise. After the cruise, need a car for a week before heading back to the airport (JAX). Any recommendation? I called Avis and they do not provide pick up service at the cruise terminal. I wonder if there are other car rental companies that would pick up at the cruise terminal without charging a fee.

A regular taxi will cost about the same as that JAX airport shuttle, and a taxi holds up to 3 people. If you're renting a car, that's going to be the cheapest way to and from the airport.

Hertz and Avis both have direct phones in the cruise terminal, but they may charge for a pick-up. I'd first check with them. Then perhaps Enterprise. But I'd just pick up and return the car at the airport pre-cruise and then pay for a single taxi to the JAXport. On the way back, I'd pay for a taxi if necessary to the car-rental company.

Thanks Doug_Stallings. I will look into it.
