• Pros & Cons of using Airport Door-to-Door Shuttles
  Door-to-Door airport shuttles are typically small passenger vans that go to/from Ted Stevens Anchorage Airport, from/to local communities within the greater Anchorage area. The main advantage of these airport shuttles is the cost – typically you can save half or more compared to a taxi. Also, the rate is fixed, so if your airport shuttle gets stuck in traffic coming from Ted Stevens Anchorage Airport, you still pay the same. The disadvantages are that you share the ride with other passengers, and may find that if you are going to Ted Stevens Anchorage Airport, you might be the first pickup, and may make several stops until your shuttle van is full. The same holds if you use an airport shuttle going to Anchorage from ANC airport. Some of the shuttles that leave the airport are on a schedule, meaning they leave at designated times. Others may only leave once the shuttle is full. Its best to ask first to make sure!

• Shuttle van/limo Tipping Etiquette:
  
  • Shared ride shuttles: if you’re taking bags and the driver helps you loading/unloading them, its appropriate to give the driver a few bucks for his/her efforts.
    
  • Sedans/limos: the most appropriate form of tipping is a percentage of the fare, usually around 15%. Drivers derive much of their income from tips and usually deserve a gratuity if their service was satisfactory.
