How NYC Hotel Shuttle Bus Booking Works

Hotel shuttle bookings start with the hotel pickup curb, the destination, the headcount, and the shuttle cadence (one round trip, multi-round shuttle service, or multi-stop block). The hotel concierge or convention organizer books a vehicle that matches the per-round headcount. The driver picks up at the hotel arrivals curb, runs the route, and returns to the hotel on each cycle. Multi-day shuttle blocks typically dispatch a dedicated coach for the duration of the convention or event.

Most hotel shuttle blocks run between 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM tied to the event session schedule. Late-night party and after-show shuttles extend the window past midnight.

Where the Coach Picks Up at NYC Hotels

Common Manhattan hotel shuttle pickup zones include:

• The Times Square Marriott Marquis arrivals curb on Broadway.
• The New York Hilton Midtown curb on 6th Avenue at 53rd Street.
• The Sheraton New York Times Square arrivals at 7th Avenue and 53rd Street.

• The InterContinental Times Square at 44th Street and 8th Avenue.
• The Westin New York at Times Square.
• The Conrad New York Downtown.
• The Marriott Brooklyn Bridge in Downtown Brooklyn.

Each hotel has a dedicated arrivals curb and a bell desk that coordinates with the shuttle driver. The driver coordinates the assigned curb timing with the hotel concierge or bell captain during booking.

Group Booking Tips for NYC Hotel Shuttle Bus Runs

Hotel arrivals curb timing. Hotel curbs fill during peak check-in (3:00 to 5:00 PM) and check-out (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) windows. The driver coordinates curb timing with the hotel bell desk.

Multi-hotel block planning. Multi-hotel shuttle blocks require route planning that minimizes total transit time. The transportation desk confirms the route with the driver.

Shuttle cadence. Multi-day shuttle blocks typically run 2 to 4 rounds per session. The convention or event organizer confirms the round count during booking.

Group ticketing and shuttle pass coordination. Some conventions and events issue shuttle passes that attendees scan on board. The driver coordinates the pass scanning process with the event team.

Tip and gratuity. Driver gratuity is not included in the base quote. The standard range is 15 to 20 percent of the trip total, paid in cash or added to the final invoice.
