Q. What is "Door to Door"?
A. Door to Door Trips will pick you up at your Home, Hotel, Airport or Cruise Port and take you anywhere you want to go. The times published on our website are approximate and will be verified by telephone by our Dispatch Department the night before your trip. This service is perfect for those who do not have the means to get to one of our station locations. This is a shared shuttle which means there will be multiple stops for both departures and arrivals

Q. How does "Door to Door" work?
A. Once reservations closes the day before your scheduled trip, our Dispatch Department will map out the route for the following day and call each passenger directly to confirm their pick up time. The times published on our website are approximate pick up times and can vary. However, the arrival time is generally an accurate estimate but it can also vary depending on how many drop off requests we receive.
