San Pedro Cruise terminal to Costa Mesa

Hi there. I was hoping someone could help me find a easy (and not overly expensive) way to get from the cruise ship terminal in San Pedro to the Marriott in Costa Mesa (500 Anton Blvd).

I was looking at car services and I%26#39;m curious to know which ones are reputable. I also looked at perhaps just taking a shuttle to the OC Airport and then from there taking a cab, or else just a cab directly from the cruise terminal.

I%26#39;ve always rented a car in LA area, so I don%26#39;t know much about transport companies, etc. I also don%26#39;t know what is available at the cruise terminal, are cabs waiting?

Thank you in advance!

The EASIEST way is to rent a car. Enterprise rent a car (enterprise.com) has an office by the port. You can drive to the nearest enterprise office by your hotel and they will drop you off at your hotel at no charge. Add $50 to the cost of a 1-dat rental (that%26#39;s the ;drop charge%26#39; for picking it up at one location and dropping it at the other. Their website doesn%26#39;t allow you to set up a rental with two different pickup and dropoff points so just reserrve a car to be picked up and dropped off at the San Pedro office and then call that office and tell them that you want to drop it elsewhere. By booking first online you get their best rate versus calling them to arrange the whole thing from the start.

Yes, there are taxis at the port. There won%26#39;t be much of a difference in price between a car rental and a taxi but the car rental will give you more flexibility since you can use the car for the day to pick up groceries, eat out, see some sites (go to a nearby beach), etc.

Prime Time Shuttle (redvans.com) offers %26#39;shared van%26#39; rides from the port to your hotel. They also offer PRIVATE van rides (no one shares with you) as well as sedan cars (car service). To use their website, go to rhttp://primetimeshuttle.hudsonltd.net/res, select ';Arriving at an AIRport';, click on the drop-down menu (in the center of the next screen) that says ';select you AIRport'; and you will find an item called ';LA Cruise Ship Terminal'; on the menu. Select it (that is the san pedro cruise port). Complete the rest of the screen and you%26#39;ll be presented with the various transit options they offer.

Their sedan service is about $72 including tip. This is a good alternative to a taxi, Shared van fares are $40 for the first passenger and $10 for each additional passenger in your party.
