Businesses like hotels and inns, camps, medical facilities, senior care facilities, and airlines, to name a few, are the typical businesses with frequent transportation needs. Purchasing and maintaining vehicles, and hiring a full-time driver can be quite costly. The more affordable and effective solution is to hire shuttle services.

This service provides you with a vehicle, usually a motor coach, passenger van, or bus and a professional chauffeur. But for all their benefits, not all shuttle services give you your money's worth, which is why you need to be discerning when it comes to finding the right provider for your business.

Find the right shuttle service with these tips

Do you need a shuttle service for your business, but you don't know where to start? Here are a few tips to consider:

1. Identify your needs

Why do you need shuttle services? Do you need a shuttle service for your employees' daily commute? Do you need transportation for monthly site inspections, warehouse inventories, and such? If so, a contract shuttle service might be the right fit for your business. Contract shuttles are ideal for businesses with recurring and frequent transportation needs.

2. Identify your passengers

As mentioned above, a shuttle service may be commissioned by a business to provide transportation for employees. Contracts may be for a month, six months or one years, depending on your need. On the other hand, if your passengers will mostly be your regular customers or clients and corporate VIPs, then a shuttle service you can hire for a day or several days at a time might be ideal for your business. It's important to identify who your passengers are, so you can choose a vehicle that will fit their "importance," so to speak.

3. Determine your budget

In order for you to find the most cost-effective shuttle service for your business needs, you need to set a transportation budget, which will become part of your office expenditures the frequency of which will depend on you how many times per month you will be hiring a shuttle service or whether or not you will sign-up for a contract shuttle service.

Determining how much you can afford for your business' shuttle services will help you find the right provider and vehicle.
