Your Choices For CLT Airport Shuttle Transportation

By Patrick Young


When you are trying to find someone to give you a ride to the airport so you do not have to pay for expensive parking, you will find that most if not all of your friends are very busy. This is especially true if your flight leaves at the crack of dawn, since nobody wants to be up and dealing with traffic at that hour. In Charlotte, NC, your alternative option is to choose to go to CLT airport shuttle transportation to get you there.

Lots of people who fly out of the Charlotte airport do not actually live in the city, but instead in the general vicinity. There are many large and thriving suburbs, as well as rural communites that are off the beaten path. A good service provider will be able to pick you up from any of these areas, though the further away you are, the higher the fare. You could ask for discounts to get your price lower if you are in one of these more rural areas.

When you call or go online to book a ride, there are several pieces of information you will need beyond just the usual name and address. Make sure you have your flight numbers ready, as many services will ask for these. The reason is that they will check on changes to the flight time or cancellations so they can call you in advance and see if your pickup time needs to be adjusted accordingly. Not all shuttle services provide this, but many do, and it comes in real handy in case of a delay.

Another piece of info they must have is whether you mind a group van ride, or if you prefer your own private car. If you choose private, the far will be higher but you will get there faster. A sedan may be sent, or if you want to splurge and arrive in style, you can choose to book a limo instead.

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.

You can rest assured that the drivers are safe, friendly and fully licensed and insured to do the job. They know the area well so they will not get lost. They know the airport well enough to know which terminal to let you out at, depending on which airline you are flying with.

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.

Though the full price of the fare is known up front, you should always tip your driver. This is the only additional cost, and is a token of your appreciation for a job well done. Even with tip, a shuttle is one of the best values going for a ride to the airport, and you won't have to beg a friend or family member for a ride.
