Airport shuttle service is a cost-effective option for many travelers going to and from US commercial airports. Airport shuttles are generally less expensive than other forms of airport transportation including taxi and limousine services.
Travelers may be required to share the shuttle van with other passengers going to and from the airport. This will include additional stops to pickup other passengers and will increase the required travel time.
Airport shuttle companies are not all the same. Some airport shuttle companies provide Door-to-Door shuttle service while other shuttle companies provide Scheduled airport shuttle service.
Door-to-Door Airport Shuttle Service:
Door-to-Door shuttle companies offer pickup services to and from the airport from a hotel, residence and or business. Pickup times are established by the traveler. Many shuttle companies require a 15 minute window based on the travelers requested pickup time.
For example, if your shuttle pickup time is scheduled for 9:00am, the airport shuttle van may arrive at your pickup location between 8:45am thru 9:15am. Leading Door-to-Door shuttle service companies include SuperShuttle and Go Airport Shuttle, and they provide shuttle services to and from many commercial airports within the United States.
Scheduled Airport Shuttle Service:
Scheduled shuttle companies do not offer Door-to-Door shuttle service. The shuttle van will pickup passengers at an authorized location which may include a hotel, restaurant, business, landmark and in some cases the base station of the shuttle service company. Pickup times are pre-determined and fixed by the shuttle company. Shuttle companies who provide shuttle service from a base station may also offer Door-to-Door shuttle services for an additional charge but only from their base station.
Before you make your shuttle reservation, review the cancellation policy very carefully because many scheduled airport shuttle companies usually have very strict cancellation policies.
