Ground transportation

Ground transportation refers to the travel services used to get to and from airports, hotels, attractions, or other destinations by land. This includes taxis, buses, trains, rental cars, shuttles, and ride-sharing services.

In a travel itinerary, ground transportation connects the main parts of a trip. For example, a traveler might fly into an airport, take a shuttle to a hotel, and then use a local train or car service to attend meetings or explore the city.

Travel agencies offer ground transportation as an add-on service or include it in travel packages. Corporate travel departments may have contracts with car services or shuttle companies for employee travel.

Depending on the class of service, ground transportation can vary between economy options like public buses and premium services like limos and executive coaches.
