Navigating airport transportation can often be a stressful part of travel. To ensure a smooth and convenient journey to or from the airport, understanding your Airport Shuttle Service options is key. This guide provides essential information to help you utilize the airport shuttle service effectively, ensuring timely arrivals and departures.
Understanding Airport Shuttle Pick-up and Drop-off Procedures
Our airport shuttle service offers convenient pick-up and drop-off locations both on campus and directly at the airport terminal. Whether you are starting your journey from campus or heading back after a trip, the shuttle service is designed to accommodate your needs. Please ensure you are at the designated pick-up location at your scheduled time to avoid any delays and ensure a smooth boarding process. Upon arrival at the airport, the shuttle will drop you off directly at the terminal, allowing for easy access to check-in and security. Similarly, for airport pick-ups, the shuttle will meet you at the designated area outside the terminal for a seamless transfer back to campus or your desired destination.
Navigating Travel Times and Potential Traffic Delays
When planning your airport travel, it’s crucial to factor in travel times and potential traffic disruptions. Travel to Greensboro Airport (GSO) typically takes at least 45 minutes, while journeys to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) can take approximately 1.5 hours. It’s important to note that these are minimum travel times and can be affected by various factors, most notably traffic conditions. Major highways are susceptible to delays due to ongoing construction, road maintenance, or unforeseen accidents. While our shuttle service strives to maintain punctuality, Transportation and Parking Services is not responsible for delays arising from traffic congestion or incidents beyond our control. We strongly recommend planning your shuttle reservation with ample time to account for potential delays, particularly during peak travel hours or known periods of traffic congestion. Checking real-time traffic conditions prior to your departure can also be beneficial in anticipating any potential issues.
Lost Items and Shuttle Responsibility
While we aim to provide a comfortable and reliable service, Transportation and Parking Services cannot assume responsibility for personal items left behind on the shuttle. It is essential for all passengers to remain vigilant and ensure they have all their belongings before disembarking. However, in the event that items are found on the shuttles, they will be carefully stored at the Transportation and Parking Services office for a period of 30 days. If you realize you have left an item behind, please contact us immediately at 336-758-7275 or visit our office to inquire about lost items. When using the shuttle service, we advise keeping close track of valuable personal belongings such as phones, wallets, laptops, and luggage to prevent any loss or inconvenience.
Policy Regarding Illness or Intoxication on Shuttles
Maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for all passengers is a priority. To ensure this, a cleaning fee of up to $100 will be applied to any student who vomits on the shuttle due to illness or intoxication. If you are feeling unwell prior to boarding the shuttle, please notify the driver immediately. Drivers are equipped to assist and can provide a plastic bag or similar receptacle if needed. Furthermore, Transportation and Parking Services reserves the right to refuse service to visibly intoxicated students. This measure is in place to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers and is at the driver’s discretion. In cases of service refusal due to intoxication, no refund will be issued. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a respectful and healthy environment on our shuttle service.
Shuttle Service Cancellations and Reservation Changes
Effective communication is vital for the smooth operation of the airport shuttle service. To ensure you are promptly informed of any updates or if the driver needs to locate you, please ensure your phone is switched on and readily accessible prior to your scheduled pick-up time. If the driver is unable to find you at the designated location, they will attempt to contact you via phone. In the event of multiple unsuccessful contact attempts, the reservation will be marked as a “no-show.” Regrettably, in such instances, no credit or refund will be issued.
For cancellations or changes to your existing reservation, please email Transportation and Parking Services at [email protected] at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled flight departure time. Please be aware that no exceptions to this 24-hour cancellation policy can be made. For any other modifications to your booking, such as changes to pick-up times or locations, please reply directly to your confirmation email with the requested adjustments. Once processed, you will receive a new confirmation email reflecting the updated details of your reservation. Kindly note that we are unable to accept changes or cancellations via phone.
Refund Policy for Shuttle Service
Cancellations that are made in accordance with our established policy are eligible for a refund. Refunds are processed on a monthly basis, typically covering cancellations from the previous month. The refunded amount will be returned to the original payment method used for the reservation. It is important to reiterate that refunds are exclusively issued for reservations that are canceled at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure time. This policy ensures fairness and allows us to manage our shuttle service efficiently.
