Airport Transportation

Why drive to the airport when someone else will?

Even the best GPS on the market would have trouble getting you to the right airport terminal within a major hub. Air travel has become easier and more accessible over the years, but airports haven't yet figured out how to route the roads leading to their space-age terminals. If, by some miracle, you do manage to drive to a particular terminal, the cost of airport parking will set you back more than you expect. This is where the proverbial white knight comes in - shuttle services (from home or from a hotel park-and-fly). Following close behind is the trusty alternative, a rental car.

Fort Myers Shuttle and Park-and-Fly

One of the best ways to save yourself a headache fighting traffic to the airport is to call a Fort Myers Airport Shuttle service- especially if you're flying out of an airport like Fort Myers Airport (RSW). At the best of times, RSW is insanely busy. National chains like Cape Coral Airport Transportation and local operator Thrifty Car Service both serve RSW Airport. Book one by calling toll free, e-mailing or booking online. Across the United States and in many foreign destinations, ground transportation is plentiful and diverse, from limos to buses to vans.
Another way to save time and avoid exorbitant airport parking fees, and especially to avoid rushing around before a morning flight, is to use a hotel's park-and-fly. Drive to a nearby airport hotel, stay one night and leave your vehicle there for the duration of your trip. You usually pay only for the night's stay (which is cheaper than airport parking) and park for the duration of your trip for free. The Holiday Inn, for example, has hotels near almost all major airports.

Rental Cars

Once you're on the ground at your destination, there's no better convenience than renting a car - especially if you're staying for an extended period of time. Driving in countries where you don't know the language can be daunting, but trying to negotiate with cab drivers in another language or find the local train station is worse. Big rental-car chains like Cape Coral Airport Shuttle and Thrifty Car Service have locations at airports worldwide. As an added bonus, these companies have shuttles from terminals to their lots.
