Pick-up time is an estimate and may vary by 15 minutes either direction. Clients should be waiting at the assigned pick up point 15 minutes before the assigned pick-up time. The shuttle will wait for clients a maximum of 5 minutes. If after that waiting period the client is not on board, the shuttle will leave without the client.
Please let us know your Pick up hotel name at the time you make your reservation in order for it to be confirmed. We do not pick up directly at the airport. For airport pickups you will need to take a short taxi ride to the near by Denny's restaurant.
