Hi. We are hiring a shuttle bus for our guests (and ourselves) to go to & from the hotel. The hotel is only 5 mins away from our reception hall. The deal we got is for a 14 passenger luxury van for 1 1/2 hours before & 1 1/2 hours after the reception. Now you would think with the places only being a 5 min drive that they would be able to make a ton of trips back & forth right...??? Well the limo company is saying they usually only get 3 trips before & 3 after because of all the waiting around for the guests to get in the shuttle.
I know of 13 rooms that will be booked for sure - which is 25 ppl.
We have the potential of 22 rooms which would be 45 ppl.
Has anyone had any experience dealing with shuttle buses? Have you gave people a scheduled time to get on the shuttle so that everyone isn't waiting until the last shuttle out?
I am starting to think that we should change our shuttle to the larger bus which I believe is a 24 passenger. But then I say, well what if only 25 ppl stay overnight, then the large bus is a waste of money.
Your thoughts, ideas, opinions please.....
