Airport Shuttle Tips for Families Traveling with Kids

Family vacations can be thrilling — and a little bit headache-inducing when travelling to, through or back from the airport with children. We know that travel days can be stressful for parents at ABC Coach. That’s why we provide airport shuttle services that cater to families. With some advance work and the proper support, your airport transfer can be safe, smooth — even enjoyable.

Below are some of our best suggestions for how to make the most out of your airport shuttle experience when you’re travelling with kids:

1. Book in Advance

Don’t dare to face fate when it comes to transportation, especially with kids. Reserving your airport shuttle ride in advance guarantees its availability when you need it and allows you ample time to make the necessary preparations for any special requests that you may have.

ABC Coach Tip: Tell us your kids’ ages when you book — so we can arrange for the proper safety equipment and space.

2. Request Car Seats if Needed

Safety first, especially when you have a baby or toddler along. Make sure your shuttle company has the proper child seats and knows how to install them.

ABC Coach offers clean, government-approved car seats in case you want your little ones to travel securely.

3. Pack Essentials in a Carry Bag

Pack a small, easy-to-reach bag with things your kids might need during the ride — snacks and bottled water for travel needs; toys (or this compact colouring case); wipes or Kleenex; an extra set of clothes if you’re travelling with tiny ones.

They don’t want mid-ride chaos and an upset crew; the handhelds take care of that.

4. Choose the Right Shuttle Type

For families, a private shuttle often makes the most sense. It provides flexibility, more space for strollers or luggage and a quiet place to go from point A to B.

One company that provides both shared and private shuttles is ABC Coach, which has large-capacity vehicles for larger families or groups to travel together.

5. Time It Right

Schedule a comfortable buffer before and after flights. With kids, there are always delays — for a last-minute bathroom break or a missing toy.

ABC Coach allows you to schedule the best pickup time according to traffic or flight arrival, so you never need to rush.

6. Entertain the Kids

Kids can make long rides even longer. Pack their favorite book, a tablet or a small game to keep them entertained.

Your shuttles are clean, comfortable and quiet—perfect for little ones who need to nap or be entertained during the ride.

7. Communicate with Your Driver

If you are travelling with children, be sure to communicate clearly. Tell your driver if you require additional time to board, special stops or help with placing bags onto the bus.

ABC Coach drivers are expected to drive courteously, patiently and considerately – but especially if family passengers are on board.
