Are You Looking For A Way To Get To Or From An Airport? Factors To Consider When Selecting An Airport Shuttle

If you are looking for airport transportation that can either take you to an airport or from an airport, you may be thinking about getting an airport shuttle. There are many benefits to an airport shuttle over other options, such as taxis. Many shuttles offer a flat rate fee, allowing you to know just how much you will pay for your ride. The price also does not increase if there is traffic due to an accident or rush hour traffic. However, not every shuttle service is the same. Here are a few of the questions you should ask when you are selecting an airport shuttle. 

What Hours Do You Operate?

If you need to be at the airport in the middle of the day, you may not have to worry about asking about a shuttle service's hours of operations. However, if you have an early morning flight or will be arriving at an airport in the middle of the night, it is important to ask. Not every shuttle service is 24 hours. Some simply don't have enough demand to operate at all hours of the night. As such, it is important to ensure they do operate at the times you need if you have a really late or really early flight. 

What Happens If the Flight is Late?

Another important question to ask is what happens if your flight is late. You cannot control whether your flight is on time or whether the flight is late and neither can the shuttle service. However, if your flight is late, you want to ensure you still have a ride from the airport without waiting much time to get one. Ask the shuttle service if they track your flight for delays and if they still can accommodate you on later shuttles if your flight is delayed. 

How Many Pieces of Luggage Can Be Brought on the Shuttle?

The last question you want to be sure to ask an airport shuttle service is whether they limit the number of pieces of luggage that you can bring on the shuttle with you or whether they limit the size of the items. This is important if you are bringing a lot of luggage with you or are bringing over-sized luggage. Some shuttles have limited space and will only allow two pieces of luggage and a carry-on. Or they may limit the size and shape of items you can bring on. If you are bringing over-sized items or a large number of items, ask a shuttle if they can accommodate your belongings. 

Asking these questions will help you find the airport shuttle service that best meets your needs and will help you make it to the airport, from the airport or both.
