But question is if that is per person (I would assume) or flat rate. Will be looking into this as we are back down in a couple weeks.
Not sure how Groome will work, but Workman charged $15 for the ride between the Terminal and your home and it was a flat rate even if you had more than one person. However, we only use that service if it’s a single traveler. Whenever we have more than one traveler we use a private driver. With 2 people the private driver only costs a little bit more and with three or four travelers the private driver is cheaper than the shuttle. The problem with private drivers is that you usually have to book them well in advance as they tend to have a full schedule. When you spontaneously book a trip on short notice it can be difficult to find an available driver, so the shuttle is a back up option.
