Here Are A Few Things To Keep In Mind
It's no secret that traveling can be stressful. You might have to deal with delays and sticky situations at the Airport, and then you're left wondering what to do when you get to your hotel.
You may think it would take hours to get from the Airport to your hotel, but that's not always the case. You might be pleasantly surprised by how quickly things can happen if you use a shuttle service or taxis from the Airport.
- Even though shuttle service is cheaper than taxis, it will still cost more than if you used a regular taxi company. Because shuttle service is often not permitted to pick up passengers directly from the curb outside airports, they must enter through security checks first. So if you don't have time for that fuss, consider using a regular taxi company instead.
- Shuttle service will usually arrive within 30 minutes at an airport (if they can't pick up immediately because of security checks). However, if it's been delayed or there are other problems with your flight arrival time, they may take longer than 30 minutes to arrive.
- Check with your hotel about their shuttle service and how long it takes to get there. If you're traveling from the Airport, it can be hard to tell how long it will take for the shuttle to arrive. The last thing you want is to miss a flight because you must wait for a shuttle that never comes.
- If you have time before your flight, consider taking public transit or renting a car. It's cheaper and faster than using a shuttle, especially if you're traveling from the Airport rather than staying at a hotel.
- If you do decide to take a shuttle, make sure that they have an emergency phone number so they can contact someone if something unexpected happens during your trip (like a flat tire or mechanical breakdown).
Conclusion
If you plan to travel to Florida with your family, we recommend the hotel shuttle service where you want to stay. You can easily book through their website or mobile App. It is very convenient as compared to other transport services.
