Why travelers book this route

Corridor trips like this one are our bread and butter: a fixed pickup time, a named driver, and a flat price quoted before you book. Business travelers use the ride as working time between cities; families book the van so luggage, car seats, and grandparents ride in one vehicle; airport connections get a buffered pickup time matched to the flight. Every completed trip is tracked, and the fare statistics on this page come from that same trip history — not from a rate table that nobody audits.

Driving yourself vs. booking a shuttle

On a 22-mile corridor, driving yourself means 31 minutes behind the wheel each way, plus parking or airport fees at the far end and the return drive on the same day. A reserved shuttle keeps the driver on one direction only, prices as a flat door-to-door total, and handles traffic windows for you — many travelers on this route book us for exactly that reason.
