Airport-to-hotel shuttle advice for BGE area?
Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Curious about the different shuttles offered out of Richmond aiport and their rates.
Hi everyone!
I'm planning to fly into Richmond and I'll need to arrange transportation to the Kingsmill Resort. I know how expensive cabs can be. Can anyone recommend an affordable shuttle company?
Kingsmill's concierge suggested I used Tidewater Coach, which is $60. That seems a little high, but if it's the cheapest available, I guess it's what I'll go with.
Anyone have other suggestions?
I would say the $60 is reasonable to go from Richmond to Kingsmill.
Bob, you know that the Richmond airport is about 45 miles from Kingsmill, right? I doubt you're going to get a ride for less than $60.
Yep, I do realize the distance between Richmond and the Kingsmill Resort, but flying into Richmond was the most convenient and affordable option. It was about $220 round-trip, whereas flying into the MUCH closer Newport/Williamsburg Airport was about $470, and it was not even a non-stop flight - I would have to fly down to Atlanta, GA first and then back up north to Virginia. No thanks.
Incidentally, I called again and spoke to a different concierge - a lovely lady named Kate - and she suggested another shuttle that would cost only $40. I'm glad I did a bit more research before deciding! If anyone else needs transportation from Richmond Airport, the company name Kate suggested is Groome Transportation.
Happy travels, everyone!
Bob: Just for what its worth, once you factor in traffic in and around the Newport News area, it usually pushes as to whats a further drive. I can tell you, on the north side of Williamsburg, like around the Great Wolf Lodge, its usually quicker to go to Richmond's airport than Newport News (Speaking from a guy that comuted from NN to the parks when I was in High School).
