Services · Group transportationAnacortes Airport Shuttle provides group transportation in ten-passenger Ford Transit and fourteen-passenger Mercedes Sprinter vans for corporate teams, reunions, sports groups, conferences, and family travel across northwest Washington. Larger parties travel across coordinated vehicles departing and arriving together rather than separately.
Splitting a group across multiple rideshares is almost always worse on cost, time, and sanity.
A group of twelve travelling to Sea-Tac by rideshare means three vehicles, three fares, three drivers with different ideas about the route, and three arrival times spread across forty minutes. Somebody always ends up waiting at the terminal wondering where everyone else is.
One Sprinter carries all twelve, arrives at once, and costs less than the three vehicles combined at any hour when demand is real. Everyone travels together, the luggage goes in one place, and there is exactly one pickup time to communicate.
For groups above fourteen we run coordinated vehicles — departing together, routed together, and arriving together rather than trickling in.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Luggage | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Transit Van | 10 | 10 | Corporate teams, mid-size groups, sports squads |
| Mercedes Sprinter Van | 14 | 14 | Large parties, cruise groups, wedding transport |
| Luxury SUV | 6 | 6 | Added alongside a van to extend capacity |
| Coordinated vehicles | 15+ | 15+ | Multiple vehicles departing and arriving together |
Luggage figures assume one standard checked bag per passenger. Sports equipment, instruments, and cruise luggage all reduce effective capacity, so declare them when you book and we will add a vehicle rather than leave anything behind.
Team travel to Sea-Tac, conference transport to Seattle and Bellevue, and client delegations. Corporate accounts carry Net 30 invoicing and priority scheduling.
Multi-generational groups where splitting across vehicles is exactly what nobody wants. One van, one pickup time, everyone together.
Squads and teams with equipment. Declare the gear at booking — bags and kit fill a van considerably faster than suitcases.
Two of the heaviest-luggage bookings we take. Cruise groups in particular should size up rather than across.
Group travel
Group airport runs from anywhere in Skagit County, Whidbey Island, or Whatcom County, with the whole party in one vehicle.
Group cruise transfers with luggage capacity that reflects how cruise passengers actually pack.
Conferences, games, concerts, and corporate events, booked hourly so the vehicle waits rather than being rebooked.
North Cascades, Chuckanut, tulip fields, and long-haul charters over the passes on request.
This is where group bookings go wrong. Fourteen people with fourteen bags fits a Sprinter. Fourteen people with twenty-two bags does not, and we would rather add a vehicle in advance.
Group vehicles are the scarcest thing we have. A Sprinter committed to a wedding on a Saturday is unavailable for anything else that day, and summer fills months out.
Transit, Sprinter, and hourly charter bookings require 7 days notice to cancel without charge, rather than the 24 hours for standard transfers. Check the date when you confirm.
Fourteen passengers in a single Mercedes Sprinter van. Above that we run coordinated vehicles — a Sprinter and a Transit together carry twenty-four, and adding SUVs takes it higher. Everything departs and arrives together.
For airport runs from this region, almost always. Three vehicles at any hour when demand is real costs more than one van, and that is before the coordination problem of three separate arrival times.
Each vehicle carries roughly one standard checked bag per passenger. Sports equipment, instruments, and cruise luggage take considerably more space, so declare them at booking and we will size up rather than leave items behind.
Yes, with notice. Kit bags and equipment change the effective capacity of a van substantially, so tell us what is coming and we will assign accordingly or add a second vehicle.
Yes. Conference transport to Seattle and Bellevue, and event runs including games and concerts, are usually booked hourly so the vehicle stays with the group rather than being rebooked between legs.
Yes. Corporate accounts include consolidated invoicing on Net 30 terms, priority scheduling, and a named contact for booking changes.
Transit, Sprinter, and hourly charter bookings require 7 days notice to cancel without charge, rather than the 24 hours that applies to standard transfers. The longer window reflects how far ahead these vehicles are committed.
As early as possible. Group vehicles are the scarcest part of our fleet, and summer weekends commit months in advance.
Tell us the headcount, the luggage, the date, and the destination. We will size the vehicles and quote it.
Enter your pickup, destination, and travel date. You'll see the exact price before you commit to anything.
