Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) Shuttle Services

Located right in the heart of the city at One Air Terminal Pkwy, Melbourne, FL 32901, Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) is the crown jewel of Space Coast travel. It is known for its ease of access and proximity to the beaches, but even at a user-friendly airport, managing a large group can be challenging without a plan. That is where we come in.

When you book a private shuttle with Charter Bus Rental Company Melbourne, we take the guesswork out of the equation. Because MLB is smaller than major international hubs, we can offer incredibly convenient curbside pickup and drop-off experiences. Your driver will monitor your flight status in real-time, ensuring that whether you land 20 minutes early or two hours late, your bus is ready when you are.

For arriving groups, we typically arrange pickups just outside the baggage claim area in the designated commercial vehicle lanes. You won't have to wander through the atrium looking for your ride; your driver will be staged and ready to load your luggage into the spacious undercarriage bays of your motorcoach. Whether you are heading straight to a hotel on New Haven Avenue or driving direct to the sands of Melbourne Beach, we ensure the transition from air to land is seamless.

Transfers to Orlando International Airport (MCO)

While MLB is our local favorite, we know that many groups traveling to Melbourne, FL, choose to fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO) due to the higher volume of direct flights and international connections. Located about an hour northwest of Melbourne, MCO is one of the busiest airports in the country. The drive involves navigating the Beachline Expressway (SR 528) and I-95, a route that can be daunting for visitors unfamiliar with Florida traffic patterns or toll roads.

Charter Bus Rental Company Melbourne offers comprehensive long-distance transfer services between MCO and the Melbourne area. Why split your group of 30 into seven different Ubers and hope everyone arrives at the same time? With a private charter bus rental, your entire group travels together. We serve Terminals A, B, and the new Terminal C at MCO. The drivers can navigate the complex loop roads of Orlando’s airport district, ensuring you get dropped off right at your airline's check-in door or picked up efficiently at the commercial lanes on the ground transportation level.

During the 60-minute drive back to the Space Coast, your group can relax in reclining seats, charge their devices using onboard power outlets, and enjoy the air conditioning—a must-have in the Florida humidity. It turns a boring commute into a comfortable extension of your trip.

Why Choose a Charter Bus for Airport Transfers?

Travel can be exhausting, but your ground transportation shouldn't be. Choosing a charter bus rental over other modes of transport offers distinct advantages, especially in the unique climate and geography of Florida.

Climate Control is Key: Stepping out of an airport terminal into the Florida heat can be a shock. Our buses are pre-cooled before you step onboard. There is nothing quite like sinking into a plush seat in a climate-controlled cabin after a long flight.

Luggage Capacity: If you are traveling with sports equipment for a tournament at the beautiful fields in Viera, or carrying heavy bags for a week-long cruise, standard vehicles just won't cut it. Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage storage bays that can easily accommodate the luggage of 56 passengers, plus carry-on racks inside for your personal items.

Keep the Group Together: The most stressful part of group travel is headcount. Did everyone make the train? Did everyone's taxi show up? When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Melbourne, you arrive together and depart together. This is crucial for corporate groups on tight schedules or school groups requiring strict supervision.

Corporate & Business Travel Connections

Melbourne, Florida, is known as the "High Tech Corridor" of the state, home to giants in aerospace, defense, and engineering. We frequently provide corporate shuttle services for companies visiting partners like L3Harris, Northrop Grumman, or Embraer. We understand that in the business world, punctuality is professional.

If you are flying in executives for a site visit or a board meeting, a sleek minibus or executive sprinter van sets the right tone. We can transport your team from the tarmac to boardrooms in the Gateway Business Park or downtown meeting spaces. Our buses can come equipped with WiFi and tray tables, turning the vehicle into a mobile office where your team can prep for their presentation or debrief after a conference.

We also service large-scale conventions. If you are hosting an event near the Melbourne Auditorium or hotels along the Indian River Lagoon, we can establish a continuous shuttle loop between the airport, hotels, and event venues, ensuring your attendees are never left waiting.

Cruise Port Transfers from Melbourne Airports

One of the most popular reasons groups fly into the Melbourne area is to set sail. Port Canaveral, one of the world's busiest cruise ports, is located just 45 minutes north of Melbourne Orlando International Airport. Charter Bus Rental Company Melbourne is your premier connection between the runway and the gangway.

Coordinating travel for a large family reunion cruise or a destination wedding at sea requires precision. You certainly don't want to miss the ship! The drivers are familiar with the security protocols and drop-off zones at every cruise terminal in Port Canaveral. We can pick your group up from MLB or MCO, allow for a quick stop at a grocery store for last-minute supplies (if requested in your itinerary), and drop you off right at the porter stand at the port.

Once your cruise returns, we will be waiting to take you back to the airport or to a local attraction if you have a late flight. It is the most seamless way to start and end your vacation.

Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Group

At Charter Bus Rental Company Melbourne, we maintain a diverse fleet to ensure we have the perfect vehicle for your specific group size and luggage needs. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • Sprinter Vans (10-15 Passengers): Perfect for small corporate teams, families, or VIP airport transfers. These agile vehicles offer a premium feel and easily navigate tight hotel driveways.
  • Minibuses (18-35 Passengers): The ideal choice for wedding parties, medium-sized corporate groups, or sports teams with light equipment. They offer the amenities of a large bus (AC, comfortable seating) in a more compact package.
  • Full-Size Charter Buses (56 Passengers): The gold standard for large groups, school field trips, and tour groups. These motorcoaches feature onboard restrooms (essential for longer transfers to Orlando or Miami), reclining seats, footrests, and maximum luggage capacity.

No matter which vehicle you choose, you can expect cleanliness, modern maintenance standards, and a driver committed to your comfort.

Custom Itineraries: Beyond the Airport

While getting you to and from the airport is our specialty, we know your trip doesn't end there. Charter Bus Rental Company Melbourne allows you to build a fully custom itinerary. Do you have a late flight out of MLB but must check out of your hotel by 11:00 AM? Don't sit in the terminal for six hours!

Let us take your group on a tour of the Space Coast. We can stash your luggage safely under the bus while you explore the Brevard Zoo (8225 N Wickham Rd, Melbourne, FL 32940), grab lunch in the funky Eau Gallie Arts District, or stick your toes in the sand at Paradise Beach Park. We can even take you up to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for a few hours of awe-inspiring history before dropping you off for your flight.

With a private charter bus rental, you aren't tethered to a shuttle schedule. You are in control. You tell us where you want to go, and the driver handles the navigation, traffic, and parking.

Frequently Asked Questions About Melbourne Airport Transportation

We recommend booking your airport transportation as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. Ideally, you should aim to book 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak seasons like Spring Break or the winter holidays. However, Charter Bus Rental Company Melbourne can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us at 407-891-0011 even if your trip is coming up soon.

We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book an airport transfer with us, we ask for your flight information so our dispatch team and your driver can monitor your arrival status. We will adjust the pickup time accordingly to ensure your driver is there when you land. We provide a grace period for flight delays to ensure you aren't left stranded.

Absolutely. One of the main benefits of renting a full-size charter bus is the storage capacity. A standard 56-passenger motorcoach has spacious undercarriage bays designed to hold large suitcases, sports equipment, or cruise luggage for every passenger on board. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for backpacks, purses, and personal items. If you are booking a minibus and have excessive luggage, please let our reservation agent know so we can recommend the correct bus size for your cargo needs.

Due to TSA security regulations and airport traffic policies at both MLB and MCO, charter buses cannot pick up directly at the gate on the tarmac. However, we pick up at the nearest designated commercial vehicle zones just outside of baggage claim. These zones are typically just a few steps from the terminal exit. Your driver will coordinate with you via phone to ensure you know exactly which door to exit for the easiest connection.

Yes! Charter Bus Rental Company Melbourne is a statewide service provider. While MLB and MCO are the most common hubs for the Melbourne area, we can facilitate transfers to and from Sanford International Airport (SFB), Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB), or even Miami International Airport (MIA) if your itinerary requires it. Wherever you land in Florida, we can be there to pick you up.
