Question

Why do travelers worry about shuttles when they book offsite airport parking?

Without regular updates about shuttles, travelers can feel anxious about managing time and reaching the airport or returning to the parking lot on time.

Offsite parking is a cheaper parking option. However, a shuttle ride is something that can feel out of your hands with offsite parking. Your flight is scheduled and your entire journey is decided by whether you reach the airport terminal on time. When there is no update available, you are left confused at the pickup area without an idea about what to do next or whom to contact.  

Shuttle tracking is equally a concern during a return trip. After a long flight, travelers want to collect their bags and get back to their car without delay. In addition, a delay can also lead to overstay, which is also a common concern among travelers.  

Way offers shuttle tracking at select offsite lots, which you can spot by the shuttle badge on the listing when you book. At these lots, you can open your booking in the Way app or scan the QR code posted at the lot to see the shuttle’s live position on a map, along with an estimated arrival time at your pickup location. If a shuttle is rerouted, the app shows a dedicated screen explaining the change, so you can adjust your plans accordingly.  

Shuttle tracking helps you make better use of your time. Instead of guessing, you know when your ride is coming and can plan the rest of your travel based on that. Also, knowing it will help stay worry-free about overstay.
