Ride Super Shuttle, Earn Miles

Super Shuttle is a door to door shared van service to and from various airports.


All vans in the Super Shuttle fleet are bright blue and very noticeable.


You can earn United miles for each trip booked at Super Shuttle's website. Currently, you can earn 50 miles for each one-way trip (100 miles per round-trip). For those choosing private sedan service, the earning rate jumps to 150 for each one-way trip (300 round-trip). The sedan service looks like this:


Here are the niddy gritty details:









Important part within the terms is that miles are only earn on "airport transfers only."

You can also earn Southwest, US AirwaysDelta and Frontier miles through Super Shuttle.

The cost of super shuttle depends on where you are being pick-up/drop-off. For instance, when I used Super Shuttle to IAD,  its cost $25 without tip.




On the other hand, I used Super Shuttle in San Diego and the cost was only $12.

The other variable that changes price is the number of passengers. As you can see above, the 1st Passenger costs $29, but the next passenger on the same reservation is only $10. Therefore, booking 2 people on one reservation drops the per person cost to $20.

The only downside is that you have very little control with Super Shuttle. They try to get you to the airport around 2 hours prior to your flight. Using them to get home, you are at the mercy of the drop-off list. I have been the last one on the drop-off list and arrived home 2 1/2 hours after boarding the van.

Super Shuttle is a great service if your luck is your favor!
