Car Rental Prices

How much does it cost to rent a car in Titusville?

On average, car rentals in Titusville cost around $69 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $25 per day.

Saving Tips
  • Compare pickup spots before you click "book". Orlando Intl (MCO) has the lowest base rates but adds 10+ percent in airport fees. If you can shuttle to a Titusville or Melbourne branch you'll often beat the airport total by $40-$70 on a week-long trip.

  • Rocket launch in your plans? Lock in early, then keep checking. Prices jump fast for big launches, so reserve 6-8 weeks out with free cancellation, then re-shop weekly and swap if the rate drops.

  • Play with rental length options. In Titusville a 5-day daily rate can cost more than a 7-day "weekly" price. Always run both sets of dates before you pay.

  • Skip the pricey toll package at the counter. Grab the free Visitor Toll Pass at MCO or buy a $5 SunPass Mini and pay only the actual tolls on SR-528 and SR-408.

  • Park smart to dodge fees. Downtown Titusville and Space View Park are free and perfect for launch viewing. Kennedy Space Center lot costs $10 and fills up fast.

  • Gas up in town, not at the beach or airport. Stations along US-1 in Titusville run 20-30 cents cheaper per gallon than Cocoa Beach or airport plazas.
