what riders are saying
Before You Drop In
Here’s what you need to know.
Each shuttle has a different pickup location. Once your shuttle is confirmed, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the exact meet-up spot and details.
Of course!  If you’re ready for another run, just ask your driver of give us a call - we will get you booked on the next available shuttle.
Yes, you can! If you’re in the area and looking to hop on a shuttle, give us a call. However, same-day bookings are not confirmed until you receive a confirmation email. Please note that just because a shuttle is on the schedule doesn’t guarantee it will run.
We recommend booking ahead of time through XOLA on our website, as it helps us keep everything organized and ensures a smoother experience for everyone. While we can sometimes make exceptions for cash or VENMO payments, it’s best to give us a call in advance so we can sort out the details.

As a season pass holder, it’s important to understand that our shuttles don’t always go out—we require a minimum of two riders for a shuttle to run.
It’s highly recommended to book in advance! If you show up at a pickup location without a reservation, the shuttle may be full, not running at that time, or reserved for a private group. Sometimes shuttles don’t go out at all if no one has booked. It’s best to reserve your spot ahead of time or give us a call to check availability for the day.
No, booking a shuttle online does not guarantee your spot until you receive a confirmation email. It can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 day for us to confirm or deny a shuttle. If you need an answer sooner, give us a call, and we’ll get you sorted out as quickly as possible.
