RST Shuttle and Rochester Airport Transfer Services
Pre-booking a Rochester Airport transfer helps you focus on your trip rather than transportation logistics. When you book ahead, you lock a fixed price, guarantee a driver will be waiting at the port, and enjoy a stress-free ride from ROC to your hotel, medical facility, or event venue.
Our range of vehicles simply suits every group: compact sedans for solo travelers, mid-size SUVs for families, and up to 8-passenger vans for medical teams traveling with equipment. This setup keeps you comfortable across the region.
Public transit can be unreliable for flight connections; we frequently adapt if your plans change, and our drivers handle port pickups with door-to-door service to your destination.
Seeking cost efficiency? Saver fares on standard routes offer solid value. For time-sensitive trips, choose a priority option with limited wait times and a rideshare-style allocation with licensed drivers.
Medical travelers appreciate accessible vehicles and discreet handling; note accessibility needs during pre-booking so we can arrange a vehicle with extra space, ramps, or a staff assistant if needed.

If you booked through busbud, have the booking reference handy and share the last date of travel to the driver once you land.
- Follow signs to the ground transportation area on the terminal level. Look for a white van with an RST Shuttle sticker and your name or the "RST Shuttle" sign held by the driver. Some drivers carry a tablet with your name to speed the meet-up, and you’ll hear your name called when the vehicle arrives.
- The driver checks your reservation details on arrival. If you need to correct a time or destination, say it now; the system allows changes for the current day, but not the next date unless you contact support.
- Board the shuttle and settle into reclining seats if available. The driver confirms your pickup stop in advance and guides you to the drop-off aligned with your avenue route. The route is influenced by traffic and may pass landmarks like Costco or Yorkdale along the way; you can view the route on the onboard map.
- Transit time typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic and your final stop. The schedule factors into the total price; prices are shown prior to leaving and stay the same unless there are tolls or changes in service. If you need additional options, ask the driver or check the union of service packages on your account.
- At your stop, the driver assists with luggage and helps you leave the vehicle safely. If you have a medical kit or mobility aid, notify us in advance; the crew can arrange space. After exiting, you’ll find curbside pickup near gateways or nearby lots along the avenue.
Tip: If you are traveling with a group or with school-aged travelers, plan an extra ten minutes for check-in and lineup at the pickup area. This keeps things smooth and helps you avoid delays on a longer-than-expected trip. For last-minute needs, options include shared rides or private vans; all are designed to keep you moving to your Rochester destination with minimal hassle.

Choosing the Right Transfer: Safety, Punctuality, and Luggage Guidelines
Choose a transfer service that provides real-time flight tracking and a scheduled pickup, with a friendly host waiting at the front of the arrivals hall to greet you throughout the process–just the right start.
Please confirm the meeting point between terminals and ask for directions to the square outside baggage claim; that point should be clearly labeled and easy to spot, and the driver should greet you by name before leaving. Only book through official channels to protect your payment and identity. Account for potential delays by allowing buffer time.
Onboard safety starts with seat belts, quiet behavior, and proper luggage handling. For unaccompanied travelers, ensure the driver knows your flight number and the person picking you up matches the name on the booking. Keep a finger near the designated sign to confirm it's you, and avoid taking detours by choosing a direct route whenever possible.
Luggage guidelines: typically allow one carry-on and one personal item for each passenger; check weight limits, use the luggage compartment, and attach a tag with your contact. For some trips, additional loading time may be needed, so plan accordingly.
To keep things smooth, choose a provider based on safety practices, reliable wait times, and transparent fees. If you want an excellent, prince-style welcome, request a prince option and confirm it is based on your preferences.
