Tips For Planning Group Trip Transportation

Reserving the transportation for a large group trip is a big task, since your means of transportation will greatly affect how smoothly your schedule goes. Here are some tips for booking a flawless transportation service package. 

Group Arrival Times

The first thing to consider is grouping arrival times to your destination. If people are coming from multiple cities, you may want to suggest flights that they should book so that people arrive more or less at the same time. That way, everyone will be able to share airport taxis to the hotel destination. That initial arrival at the airport is a crucial moment where stress can be avoided, so getting everyone an airport taxi can help to ensure people aren't stranded in a new city with all of their worldly possessions. 

Opt for Larger Vehicles

When you're looking for weekly vehicle rentals, bigger is often better. You'll create a greater sense of group cohesion if more people are able to interact for the bulk of the trip. When possible, a large charter vehicle is a great idea if you can fit everyone into a single vehicle. As an added bonus, you'll have a driver who knows the area well and hopefully won't get your group lost. 

Plan Alternate Options in Similar Locations

When you're planning fro a group, everyone can't be happy at all times, but you can tailor the trip more to different personalities by planning alternative activities in each area that you go. If you take the group to see a major landmark, dig a bit deeper to find other activities in the area, such as shopping, museums, or restaurants. Not everyone will want to go see another landmark, so the other options will keep more people happy with tagging along. And it helps you keep the group together in terms of transportation. 

Don't Overplan

As you consider your transportation route, it's often best to plan lightly with a large group. Everything may take a little longer than you expect it to. And planning lightly may help you avoid surcharges for mileage on your vehicle. 

Give Freedom When Possible

Aside from booking a group transportation service, you might want to provide access to individual transportation options when the group isn't together. Buying a bunch of metro or bus passes would be a great way to do this, and in some cities you might get a discount for buying passes in bulk.
