Going on a family trip?
Are you organizing a formation day at work that requires transportation between several places, or have you been required to find transportation for the Scouts' trip?
You need a reliable shuttle company.
The first thing that is important to check is whether the company has a license to run a shuttle office on behalf of the Department of Transportation.
You should then find out if the company has new, high-quality and safe vehicles at its disposal.
It is important to do this well in advance, so that you do not find yourself in an old, neglected bus, with a faulty air conditioner.
It is also important to check if the company offers a team of drivers with all the training required to work in the field.
Find out everything there is to know about the driver who will take you.
Does he have previous convictions?
Is he a skilled driver on that particular bus?
If you need disabled transportation, check that the minibuses are adapted for transporting the elderly with easy access to the bus.
It is also advisable to check what insurance the company provides to its customers and passengers.
How much does it cost?
The most influential component of the price is the number of miles.
Distance can also include traffic jam time, where the vehicle was driven and consumed fuel, so even an unexpected traffic jam could raise the cost of transportation.
Other elements that affect the price: the period (in summer more expensive), travel on toll roads and the type of vehicle.
There are three main shuttles: bus, minibus and midibus (which is basically a vehicle that is between a bus and a minibus), with the difference between them being expressed in the number of passengers.
There are minibuses that come with a multimedia system, leather armchairs, a drink bar and more.
Transportation in this type of vehicle is more expensive than a minibus that comes with fewer gadgets.
In areas with high security sensitivity, it is possible to rent a fire-protected shuttle vehicle, which will increase the price of the shuttle.
Price of shuttle bus up to 100 km: NIS 2,000.
