Booking and Service Types:

Shared shuttles offer lower costs for budget-conscious travelers but make multiple stops, while private services provide direct, non-stop transportation. 

You’ll need your pickup and drop-off locations, flight information, and a credit or debit card to reserve your shuttle. 

Always request a written confirmation of the price, including all taxes, fees, and potential gratuity, to avoid hidden charges. 

You can often request wheelchair-accessible vehicles or services for service animals, but you may need to provide your own car seat. 

Luggage and Pets :

Most shuttle services have policies similar to airlines, with limits on the number, weight (around 50 lbs), and total dimensions of your bags.

Items like surfboards, pet crates, or skis may require special arrangements and could incur additional costs or require an additional vehicle.

Animals, other than service animals, usually need to be kenneled to ensure enough space for everyone’s baggage.

Flight Delays & Cancellations

Reputable shuttle providers monitor flights and can adjust your pickup time. Contact them directly as soon as you know about a delay to ensure they have the correct information.
Most shuttle services require cancellations more than 24 hours before pickup for a refund, often with a small administrative fee.

Meeting Your Driver

You’ll typically receive a text message or email with detailed instructions on where to meet your driver at the airport. 
Always provide your accurate phone number so the driver can contact you if needed. 

Costs & Tipping

Look for upfront, transparent pricing that includes all taxes and fees. Services may also charge for waiting times or after-hours pickups. 
A standard tip for an airport shuttle driver is around 15-20% of the fare or a minimum of $1-2 per passenger.
