Rapid Rover Airport Shuttle Transport Information
Rapid Rover Phone: 1-856-428-1500
Rapid Rover Fax: 1-856-662-7979
We recommended and used Rapid Rover in 2005, and we found that most Road Trippers liked them a lot. A few notes:
• Their largest vans accommodate 10 people.
• The round-trip cost from the Philly airport to the Fairfield Inn or Residence Inn is at a discounted rate of $20 per person each way (in other words, $40 for your airport-hotel weekend round trip).
• BUT If you’re leaving directly from the brunch on Sunday instead of going back to the hotels and leaving from there, note that the cost from the Five Points Diner to Philly Airport is a bit more -- $31 for the first person and $10 per additional adult.
• These prices don’t include driver tip, which is at your discretion.
• Luggage: These restrictions shouldn’t be an issue in our case, but you should know them anyway. Rapid Rover will allow two pieces of luggage plus one carry-on item per person. One or two extra pieces would result in an additional charge of $2.00 each. More than two extra pieces, or bulky items, may result in a direct service rate and, in the driver’s discretion, a non-shared (and more expensive) ride.
Using Rapid Rover from Philly Airport to Hotels:
Upon your arrival at the airport, retrieve your luggage and proceed to the ground transportation counter located in the baggage claim area. Dial 21 on any courtesy phone at that counter to reach the Rapid Rover dispatcher. They will send a shuttle, and your driver will arrive at curbside to pick you up within 20 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: You do NOT need to make a reservation for transportation to the hotels when you arrive in Philadelphia International airport.
Using Rapid Rover from Hotels or Five Points Diner to Philly Airport:
PLEASE NOTE: You DO need a reservation 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE (or as close to that as possible) for your Sunday pick-up. Simply call Rapid Rover after you check into the hotel. When you make this reservation, be prepared to provide them the name and phone number of the place where you’re being picked up on Sunday (the name of your hotel or the name of the diner), your hotel room number, your departure airline and flight number, and the scheduled departure time for your flight home.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: As you plan your Road Trip Sunday departure, remember that Rapid Rover will need to pick you up between 2 and 2 1⁄2 hours prior to your departure flight time, as they want to get you to the airport at least 90 minutes prior to your departure.
If you’re being picked up directly from the Sunday brunch, the address and phone number is:
Five Points Diner
Intersection of NJ Rte 41 & NJ Rte 47 (Delsea Drive)
Deptford, NJ 08096
Phone: 1-856-228-5166
