Getting groups of personal or corporate guests from the airport to the hotel can be tricky when the only option is a series of car rentals. By contrast, an airport shuttle keeps entire groups together, transports more people at a time and requires fewer trips. Today’s shuttles come in several different appealing shapes and sizes. Here’s a quick overview.
From Economy to Elaborate
Passenger vans cover the basic end of the shuttle spectrum. They transport 10 or more people, offering comfortable seating and safe, timely conveyance between destinations. One tier up, sprinter vans, deliver everything that passenger vans do, except they have in-cabin amenities like media/entertainment centers, PA systems, special lighting, and plush, limo-style seating.
At the top tier are mini buses and deluxe motor coaches. Both can serve the perfunctory job of shuttle, but they can also provide a festive, high-end transportation option if mobile partying or luxury transportation between special events and venues are the group’s preference.
All of the above options come with door-to-door service, a perk in which a shuttle arrives at each passenger’s door and transports them to the airport, eliminating the need for guests to bother with parking private vehicles at the airport.
Deluxe & Motor Coaches 101
Beyond lighting, entertainment and PA systems, deluxe and motor coaches boast tons more fun, exciting amenities worth mentioning: private restrooms, under-/overhead storage, central air, tinted windows and individually reclining captain seats.
