Orlando to Melbourne, Can I Get There?

I'll be flying into Orlando next week to pickup an RV that's located in Melbourne Beach. The seller said he will pick me up at the Melbourne airport, I just have to get there from Orlando. Do any of you know if there is a shuttle service between the two airports? Yes, I could fly to Melbourne, but from where I live a flight to Melbourne would cost twice as much and take more than twice as long. Far more flights go to Orlando. Any info would be appreciated.

    There are several shuttle services. Just Google "how do I get from Orlando to Melbourne?".

    Exactly......Pick up rental at Orlando, drop off at Melbourne. Shop around the rental companies. Can be found for around $100 or a little more. Most of the rental franchisees at Orlando and Melbourne are the same, which helps you in the drop off at different location scenario.

    Must be a lazy seller. Melbourne isn't very far from MCO. Have him reconsider or offer him $.

    There are always vehicles that go out to the Port for cruises all the time. You may want to check with them. The company name is Mears (Black and Yellow bus, vans and cars) ask the seller to meet you over near the port maybe?

    Might even see if they need to relocate some cars between Orlando and Melbourne. Could be even cheaper.
