Shuttle Policies and Procedures:

Shuttles must be reserved 24 hours in advance. Last-minute reservations are sometimes possible, but are subject to driver availability. We strongly enourage students to book travel to distant airports as early as possible.

Shuttle time should be no less than three hours prior to flight time for both airports. Benson Ticket Office reserves the right to refuse service to any student not willing or able to comply with this requirement. After 1pm, students are strongly encouraged to leave a four hour travel window as there are often significant delays along interstates due to road construction and/or accidents. Benson Center and Black Tie assume no responsibility for unforseen traffic circumstances or for flights missed due to inadequate travel time.

In order to assure timely and accurate shuttle service, students must bring a copy of flight information (airline, flight number & flight time) to the ticket office. This can be printed or displayed on a laptop or mobile device. Ticket office employees are not permitted to make reservations without this requirement. Students will be asked to review the information recorded on the reservation form for accuracy. Once the student has initialed the form to indicate that the travel date and flight time are correct, any disruptions to travel due to incorrect information or inadequate travel time are the student's responsibility.

At posted holiday travel periods, different shuttle procedures and discount pricing may apply. In order to best utilize transporation resources, most students will be asked to travel by group shuttle. The types of vehicles utilized will vary in size with the size of the group. Please click on "Holiday Shuttle Schedule" in the lefthand menu for more information.

All daylight shuttles pick up and drop off in front of the Benson University Center. Before dawn or after dark, service is to any location operated by the WFU Department of Residence Life and Housing.

Upon arrival at an airport, students will be met by a driver with a sign indicating WFU destination. Students should turn on cell phones as soon as possible after arrival to assist the driver should a problem arise. Black Tie drivers can be identified by a company name tag and will have complete passenger information including name, cell number and flight info. Students should always verify the identity of a driver before accepting a ride.

Cancellation policy: All shuttles are non-refundable. Students may transfer an existing reservation to another time during the current academic year provided any changes/cancellations are made 12 hours in advance of shuttle time. Passengers may change or cancel reservations by calling Black Tie Transportation at 336-768-5177.
