When heading to or from the airport, shuttle service is perhaps the most convenient mode of transportation. However, not all companies offer the same benefits. If you're going on vacation, save money for what matters to you—by asking these questions before you book a ride.

3 Questions to Ask a Shuttle Service

1. Do You Offer Any Special Rates?

Some shuttles may offer a one-size-fits-all approach to each trip with the same rate every time. In other companies, discounts are available for corporate transportation, or if you’re traveling in a large group. You should also ask if there’s an option for a private charter and how much that will change the price.  A reputable service will usually have a flexible array of options and discounts available. 

2. What Happens If My Plane Is Delayed?

Every traveler knows the risks of their flight arriving late. But since it’s hard to predict when that will happen, learn how the shuttle service handles those situations. Do they track flights to make sure they know the status of their clients? Do they have an extra van on standby in case of delays? It’s only worth proceeding with the company if they have a satisfactory answer to this question. 

3. Are There Limits on Drop-Off & Pick-Up Locations?

Every shuttle service handles drop-off and pick-up differently. Some specify rendezvous points where passengers must meet the shuttle and where they are told to disembark, perhaps near a shopping center or by a popular hotel. Others offer direct service to and from your home or place of business, making the trip much more convenient. At the same time, you should check to see how far they are typically willing to drive from the airport if you happen to live far away.
