Travel Affordably With CLT Airport Shuttle Transportation

By Patrick Young


Finding someone to give you a ride to the airport is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. It is hard for people to get up that early if you have a morning flight, especially if they have children. If the flight leaves during the day, they may be at work and unable to give you a ride. Thankfully, there are many options in the Charlotte, NC area, but if you want to get there affordably, a CLT airport shuttle transportation service is your best bet.

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.

They will also ask if you want a private or group ride. If you choose private, the price will be higher, but you get to the terminal in one straight shot, saving you some time. Many shuttles will offer a sedan or even a limousine for this type of service, depending on how high end you want to travel.

If a private car price is out of your budget or you simply want to save some money, you can opt for a group ride. This is usually a mini bus or van of some sort that can carry lots of passengers. You may have to stop more than once to pick up other riders, so it will take you longer to get there.

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.

You can also rest assured that each car is in great shape. Regular maintenance is performed to keep the entire fleet in tip top shape, no matter how many miles they drive in a day.

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.
