Shuttle vans can help make group golf outings easier, says Peninsula Transportation Group

Friends trying to cram several golf bags into one vehicle as they head out to the greens should consider a more practical alternative, suggests Cullan F. Meathe of Peninsula Transportation Group, LLC. They could hire a shuttle van with plenty of room for all the golfers and their bags to take them to the golf course.

The comfort and ease of using a shuttle van are preferable to the stress of getting everything into smaller personal vehicles, particularly for those golfers with early tee-off times. Groups traveling in shuttle vans don't have to deal with the frustration of driving and can know everyone will arrive safely and punctually.

Meathe says shuttle vans are very popular as people movers. Knowing that friendly drivers will be handling the traffic, that the vans will be comfortable and the rates will be reasonable make hiring them for golf outings a perfect solution.

Shuttle drivers are prompt, reliable and courteous. They are prepared with knowledge of the route. They handle the bags, helping get them in and out of the van.

The vans are cost effective, particularly when group members consider the price of gas used by their individual vehicles. With just one shuttle van being used, there also is less potential pollution involved in such an outing.

Groups flying to a city for special golfing events can arrange to be picked up by shuttle vans directly from the airport and transported to the country club or resort. The driver typically will meet the golfers in the terminal, holding up a sign. When hiring the van, the person coordinating this should inform the company how many people would be in the vehicle, in order to ensure there is plenty of room for them, their golf clubs and their luggage.

Afterwards, the shuttle van driver will transport everyone home. If any members of the group happen to overindulge at the 19th hole, they will not be getting behind a wheel, potentially endangering themselves or others. Instead, the golf outing will end safely and the golfers can concentrate on sharing stories about their successful holes-in-one.
