How Pricing Works
Route-Based Pricing
Unlike rideshare apps that charge per trip, Shuttlebee pricing is based on your specific route—pickup location, destination, and daily schedule. You pay one predictable monthly rate for consistent service with a small group of students.
No Per-Ride Charges
Your monthly fee covers every scheduled trip according to your school or camp calendar. No nickel-and-diming, no watching ride costs add up, no surprise fees at the end of the month.
What We Cover
School Year Shuttles
Daily transportation to private schools, magnet programs, charter schools, and schools outside your district's bus zone. Same trusted driver, same small group of familiar students, every single day from August through June. Build meaningful relationships and morning routines that work.
Summer Camp Shuttles
Keep the routine going when school ends. We run dedicated routes to day camps, STEM programs, sports camps, arts enrichment, and summer activities—so you're not spending your precious summer vacation time stuck in traffic twice a day.
What Affects Your Price
Distance
Longer routes naturally cost more, but the per-mile economics are far better than booking individual rideshare trips. Most routes under 10 miles each way fall in the $400–700 monthly range.
Schedule
Choose morning pickup only, afternoon drop-off only, or both directions depending on your family's needs and budget. Flexibility that works for you.
Season
School year and summer camp routes are priced separately based on the specific calendar and duration. Summer programs often have shorter schedules.
Operator Availability
Routes with existing operators already serving your area may offer more competitive rates due to established logistics and grouped schedules.
What's Included in Your Monthly Rate
Your subscription covers everything your family needs for safe, reliable, and communicative transportation:
Daily transportation following your school or camp calendar
Small-group setting with typically 4–8 students per vehicle
Real-time GPS tracking so you always know where your child is
SMS arrival and drop-off notifications for peace of mind
Direct messaging with your driver for seamless communication
Dedicated, consistent driver assignment—no rotating strangers

Pricing FAQ
How much does Shuttlebee cost?
Most families pay between $400–700 per month per student, depending on route distance and schedule. The exact amount varies based on your specific pickup location, destination, and whether you need morning only, afternoon only, or both directions. You'll see precise pricing when you check availability for your specific route—no guessing required.
Is summer camp pricing different from school year?
Yes, summer routes are priced based on the specific camp schedule and duration. Some camps run shorter days, fewer days per week, or limited weeks, which affects the monthly rate. When you search for your camp destination, you'll see pricing options that reflect the actual calendar and schedule. Many families appreciate the flexibility to continue service year-round with consistent drivers their kids already know and trust.
How many kids are on each route?
Shuttlebee operates small-group shuttles, typically with 4–8 students per vehicle depending on the operator and vehicle capacity. This thoughtful group size keeps ride times reasonable while making routes economically viable for everyone. It's the sweet spot between the isolation of a private driver and the chaos of a full school bus—small enough for kids to build friendships, large enough to keep costs manageable.
Are there any additional fees?
No hidden charges, period. Your monthly rate includes all transportation, real-time GPS tracking, SMS notifications, direct messaging with your driver, and dedicated driver assignment. No signup fees, no technology fees, no surge pricing during bad weather or high-demand times, and no surprise charges at the end of the month. The price you see is the price you pay.
What if I have multiple children?
Many operators offer sibling discounts for families with multiple students traveling on the same route. The discount structure varies by operator, but you'll see family pricing options clearly displayed when you get your quote. It's our way of making reliable transportation more accessible for larger families who need it most.
Can I use Shuttlebee for both school and summer camp?
Absolutely! Many families stay with the same operator year-round, simply transitioning from school routes to camp routes when summer begins. It's the consistency and familiarity your kids are used to—the same trusted driver, the same safety protocols, the same communication system—just a different destination. No need to start over with a stranger each season.
What's your cancellation policy?
We ask for 30 days notice to cancel service. This advance notice gives operators time to adjust their routes and vehicle assignments, ensuring reliable and economical service continues for all families on the route. We believe in fairness for everyone—families and operators alike.
Is there a contract or commitment?
No long-term contracts or binding commitments. Service operates month-to-month after an initial 30-day period. This gives you the flexibility to adjust as your family's needs change, while providing operators with reasonable planning stability. We earn your business every month through reliable service, not by locking you into rigid contracts.
