Travel Affordably With CLT Airport Shuttle Transportation

By Patrick Young


Trying to find someone to take you to the airport is a huge hassle, especially if your flight leaves really early in the morning, or during a weekday when people are working. Instead of trying to find that elusive person who has a schedule that can accommodate your flight times, you could just hire a shuttle service to get you there, instead. If you live in the Charlotte, NC area, then a CLT airport shuttle transportation service can help.

Although many of the services are located in Charlotte, you can live almost anywhere in the surrounding area and still get a ride. Of course, the further you live away, the more your shuttle may cost. But this is likely still cheaper than parking. Whether it is a suburb or a more rural area, the providers are willing to go out of their way to pick you up and get you to the airport on time. To save money, check into possible discounts on a round trip booking.

You can choose two ways to book your shuttle, either online or by phone. They will need your name and address to confirm the booking, but some will also ask for your flight numbers. This is to make sure they have your flight departure down properly so they can plan a pickup time that is appropriate. If this service is provided, they can also use it to check in on your flight for possible delays to adjust your pickup time.

When you book, you will also be asked which type of ride you want to take. You can choose from a group ride with one or several other people, or a private one. If you choose private, you can get a sedan or even a limo to pick you up if you prefer. The cost for private is faster, but you will get there faster.

If you do not mind sharing a ride with others, then you can take that option instead, which saves you money but takes more time. That is because after picking you up, there may be one or more stops to pick up additional people. Modified cargo vans or mini buses may be used for this type of service.

All drivers working for these shuttle services are professional and friendly at all times. They know the area well, and especially know the airport and how to get around it. Based on your chosen flight, they know which terminal to drop you in as well so you won't have to walk.

All vehicles in the fleet are inspected on a regular basis and given routine maintenance. This is to ensure the safety of everyone in the car and to make sure there are no delays.

You will be charged the full price of the ride up front when you book, including taxes. However, you are usually encouraged to tip your drive in addition to this. They are always friendly and probably helped with your luggage, so it is appropriate to show them some appreciation for a job well done.
