It's a medical appointment and we don't have the option of a car now. Looked up Greyhound but they only have one daily route and it arrives an hour after the appointment.

Any suggestions?

Are you senior citizens and/or veterans?

Book a shuttle from MCO. Airport Canaveral charges $20 for a ride from the airport to the cruise ship terminal but will also take you to any of the hotels in Cocoa. The buses out there aren't the best but they run every hour. It would take about 2 hours on the local buses to get from Cocoa to Titusville.

Not sure where you're coming from or where you're going but you're probably looking at an 8 hour adventure door-to-door in each direction. If your appointment is in the morning you're probably better off getting there the day before and getting a hotel somewhere near your doctor.

Why do you ask?

Sorry for wading in on this thread. I just happened to spot the name Orlando and something about getting there without a car. I had talked to a friend recently who needed to shuttle between Orlando and Cocoa Beach. She mentioned that there were multiple options. Sorry, I don't recall the name of the company she used.

Many but not all businesses offer senior discounts. However, the definition of "senior" varies from one company to another. The age at which one company considers you a senior, another may not. 58 is pretty young. You'd need to call the businesses and ask whether they offer senior or veteran discounts and how to qualify for them.

I did a quick web search for limo/shuttle/jump van service companies operating in and around Titusville/Orlando. Several names popped up. You could also take Greyhound to Orlando the day before the appointment, stay overnight, take a cab to the appointment the next day, then take Greyhound home later in the day if the return schedule works out.

There might be a way to offset some of the travel costs. Check with your health insurance provider. They may reimburse travel expenses if the medical service you need isn't available within some specified distance from where you live in.
