ATTN Road Trippers: Rapid Rover Shuttle Info

[lorrayne]

Hi Road Trippers,

Several of you have inquired about shuttle service between the airport and the hotel.

A shuttle service called Rapid Rover appears to offer the best rates (based on calling a few places today). Here's the skinny on them:

Phone: 856-428-1500
Fax: 856-662-7979

Their largest vans accommodate 10 people. The cost from Philly airport to the Ramada/Radisson in Mount Laurel is $18 per person one way (no group discounts).

The cost from Glassboro to the airport is $33 for the first person and $10 for each additional person.

Please give them 3 weeks notice in case there is a large percentage of Road Trippers who will be using this shuttle service.

I'm still trying to match those who are renting cars from the airports to those who need rides.

Please let us know if you use this service and if you have any problems reserving a space with them.

Thank you,

Kathy S., DebbieH, and Lorrayne

I received the below information from Mary L. Thank you, Mary, for the info!

"I just got off the phone with the lady at Rapid Rover. She said if we don't want to, we don't have to wait for more Catheites to come, they will take us solo if need be, and it will still be 18 dollars.
These are the instructions she gave me to GO TO our hotel(s):
Get your bag(s)
Go to ground transportation(by the baggage pickup)
Pick up the phone and dial 21 which will connect you to Rapid Rover and tell them what hotel you need to be taken to.
They will send transportation to pick you up and take you to the hotel.

For the RETURN to the airport:
As soon as I arrive to the hotel and find out my room number I am to call Rapid Rover and tell them when my flight leaves(for me, that's monday morning) and they will pick me up 2 1/2 hours before my flight leaves. There may be other people to pick up and that's why they allow the extra time."

------------------------------------

Please note that due to the potentially large number of people using the shuttle, they require 3 weeks notice (instead of the normal 24-48 hour notice).

Hi Lorrayne

I just called Rapid Rover and made my reservation with them to bring me back from the hotel to the airport on the 17th...she said all I'd need to do for the van to bring me TO the hotel from the airport on the 15th was to go to Ground Transportation next to luggage and dial "21" on one of the courtesy phones and the van will pick me up. She said you pay the driver when you get in (either cash or charge card, $18). Just thought I'd share!!

Just editing to add that Mary L. and I must have been posting at the same time! lol Also...the woman at Rapid Rover told me the same thing she told Mary L. about the ride back to the airport but said I could make the reservations now if I preferred, so I did.
