Driving yourself vs. booking a shuttle

On a 35-mile corridor, driving yourself means 48 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.
