Airport shuttle from Simpsonville to Charlotte (Greenville: limo, cost, garage)

[FLmomof2]

Has anyone ever taken a shuttle or limo service to go from Simpsonville or Greenville to the Charlotte airport.

We were wondering if this is even cost effective or would it cost a fortune. We are going to MA for 1 1/2 weeks and thought it might be better than driving ourselves and parking.

Thanks

Parking at Charlotte airport is easy and inexpensive. I believe it is $3/day for uncovered "remote" parking (which is not very far with parking lot shuttles coming along often). We paid $5/day for a covered garage spot over Thanksgiving. Shuttles usually charge per person and make a lot of stops. I can't see it costing less than parking ( if such a shuttle exists?), but have never done a shuttle to Charlotte.

The best way to travel to Charlotte Douglas International Airport is to use SouthEast Transportation. You can ride the shuttle for 60.00 per person. This shuttle departs 5 times a day every 4 hours. With the amount of gas and time you spend driving yourself this is the most cost effective way to go. 877-2111 or use simpsonville phone 963-2000

How so? If it's a family of 4 that's $240/one way, $480 r/t, not including tip; not to mention that no time is being saved, it's gonna take the same amount of time if one's being driven or driving themselves. I fly outta Charlotte almost twice a month for business and I always drive. It's a simple hour and a half straight shot right up 85, plus as Art mentioned they have the cheapest parking of any airport that I know of, although they did raise it to $4/day last week.Also gas has dropped quite significantly in the last two weeks making it much easier on the wallet to drive.

If your rich and have a lot of disposable money, take the shuttle. If you're on a budget and smart with money, you drive.

I just realized that looking at the date of the op, I just responded to a post that's almost a year old. DOH!!!!

Basically, Kwelch posted ad ad for his company in the form of a post and I replied. I'm a dumb dumb.
