Traveling with Groome Transportation Prescott offers a convenient and reliable way to reach your destination. To ensure a hassle-free journey, understanding our luggage policy is key. This guide outlines everything you need to know about baggage allowances, restrictions, and tips for stress-free luggage handling when using Groome Transportation Prescott.
Standard Luggage Allowance on Groome Transportation Prescott
Every passenger traveling with Groome Transportation Prescott is welcome to bring luggage. Our standard allowance includes two suitcases and one personal item. This policy is designed to comfortably accommodate all passengers while ensuring efficient space utilization within our shuttles. Remember, as our shuttles often carry multiple passengers, luggage space is shared.
Suitcase Dimensions and Weight:
To keep things manageable and safe for everyone, we have specific guidelines for suitcases:
- Weight Limit: Each suitcase should not exceed 50 pounds (23 kilograms).
- Size Limit: The total linear length (length + width + height) of each suitcase must be 62 inches (157 centimeters) or less.
If you anticipate traveling with more than two suitcases per person, we highly recommend reserving an additional seat to guarantee space for your belongings. This ensures a comfortable journey for you and your fellow passengers.
Personal Items Explained:
Your personal item is something you keep with you inside the shuttle. It should be small enough to fit comfortably on your lap or at your feet without encroaching on another passenger’s space. Acceptable personal items include:
- Purses
- Laptop cases
- Standard backpacks
- Small shoulder bags
Tips for Trouble-Free Luggage Handling with Groome Transportation Prescott
To make your travel experience even smoother, consider these helpful luggage tips:
- Properly Tag Your Luggage: Always ensure each piece of luggage is clearly tagged with your full legal name and contact information. This significantly reduces the risk of loss or mix-ups, especially during busy travel periods.
- Use TSA-Approved Locks: For added security and peace of mind, we recommend locking all your suitcases with TSA-approved locks. These locks allow security personnel to inspect your luggage if needed without damaging your locks.
While Groome Transportation Prescott takes utmost care in handling your luggage, it’s important to note that we cannot be held liable for damage to or loss of luggage under any circumstances. We also strongly advise against placing particularly valuable or fragile items in your checked luggage. Items such as computers, electronics, jewelry, cash, artwork, collectibles, and antiques should remain with you at all times as personal items.
