Car rentals are quite common when it comes to airport transfers. Many people rent cars because of convenience and potential cost savings. However, did you know that airport shuttles can offer you more convenience and costs savings? Below, see the different ways airport shuttle transfers are better than car rentals.
No driving required
If you've just been on a long flight, you might not be in the mood to get behind the wheel when you arrive at the airport, which is what private car rentals demand. More so, if you're new to the city or the country, you might not be in a position to do so because you may not know your way around. With airport shuttle transfers, none of the above concerns should bother you. A highly qualified driver will take the wheel, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds or to take a quick nap after your long flight.
Cheaper due to lower costs and ride sharing
Airport shuttles are easily the cheapest way to get to or from the airport. That's because you only pay for your seat, thanks to ride sharing. This is as opposed to car rentals where you pay for the entire car, not to mention the fuelling costs as well. And even if you were to book the entire shuttle for yourself, it would still be cheaper than a rental car because you'll only pay for the duration it takes to get to your destination, not the entire day.
Great for one-way transport
Another reason why airport shuttles are better than private car rentals is that, in most cases, airport transfers are all about travelling one way. In that regard, airport shuttles are better suited for the job. That's because you'll get delivered to the airport or to your hotel/residence and that will be it. Car rentals are not ideal for one-way travel; not only is it sort of excessive, you also get charged more for it because the car has to be delivered to a rental agency.
Perfect for large groups or families
Airport shuttles also beat car rentals when it comes to space. If there is one thing you absolutely need when it comes to airport transfers, it is space. On the other hand, rental cars have limited space. So if you're travelling with lots of luggage or are travelling in a group, airport shuttles will meet your needs better.
And just like car rentals, you can book your airport shuttle right when you need one or you can book in advance depending on when your trip is.
