| - We have a daughter at U of A, but being crazy people, still have 5 kids at home. The daughter would like to come home to visit more than twice a year, but there was no way I was making the twice in a weekend 5 hour round trip from Buckeye no matter how much I love her. I worked it out and since my van gets about 17mpg, it costs me about $50 to drive from Sky Harbor to her dorm and back. Then I get to do it again 2-3 days later. The shuttle costs me $39 to drop her at the airport, saving me 5 hours of grief in the bargain.
I saw the reviews were inconsistent, so I wanted to use the service a few times before posting. So far, my girl has come home twice with no issues, and I sent my high schooler to see her sister last month. They've experienced terrific service all three times. The drivers have been cheerful and helpful. The first time we used the service, there was a problem with the credit card and the website, but the driver took care of it quickly at the next stop, and they still got into Sky Harbor early. When asked, the driver gives her a heads up when they are about 30 minutes from the airport so she can text me to meet her.
Shrug. I don't understand the complaints. It's a shuttle, not a private car. There will be other people on it. At least it isn't Greyhound! We considered the bus, but it just seemed too spooky, not to mention unreliable. Maybe the girls are just so used to travel ling van crowded with children and animals that the shuttle seems luxurious in comparison. I think AZ Shuttle runs great service at a decent price, particularly for families with college students.
