You’re booking airport car rental, but you notice that a shuttlebus is needed to take you to your car instead of the usual “pick-up at desk” option … What can you expect from this? Read up on our airport shuttlebus guide for more information!
NOTICE – information on picking up your rental car can be found on the “collection info” section prior to booking. Details can also be found on your car rental voucher after you have booked.
How often does the airport shuttlebus come?
We understand that by this point you’ll be fed up with waiting but you’re in the final stretch now before you can set off and enjoy your trip! A lot of providers will meet you at a set time based on your flight arrival, so you won’t have to worry about waiting ages for a bus. For larger providers (E.g Centauro), there may be a consistently running shuttlebus that will go to and from the depot every 15 minutes (time can deviate).
How do I find where my shuttlebus stop will be?
As aforementioned, guidance on getting to your rental will be shown on your car rental voucher. For a majority of bookings, you will meet a representative outside the shuttlebus that will then provide you with further guidance. For some shuttlebus collections, a representative will even meet you at the airport and will guide you towards the correct shuttlebus stop. Other bookings you will recive instructions on how to find the shuttlebus and depot.
How far away is the car rental depot?
For the airport car rental providers we work with, if not located on site, their depot will be located within a short distance from the airport. The shuttlebus journey should only take around 3-5 minutes for usual cases.
How big is the shuttlebus?
The shuttlebus you’ll be riding won’t be your standard 50+ person coach! For most cases, the shuttlebus will only collect a few customers at a time. It’s unlikely that there will be a large queue or regular stopping on the way.
