Fares and Passengers

  • Flexible Fares
    The Rock Transportation Services dba Whidbey SeaTac Shuttle & Charter has elected to invoke the provisions of WAC 480-30-420 and implement Flexible Fares. Under the provisions of section -420, Fuel Surcharges and Port access fees will no longer be applied to your fare. In order for us to more properly serve our customers we will now be permitted to set fares within a band both above and below the base fares to reflect these costs. Initially maximum fares may be as much a 25% above the base fares and there is no limit as to how far they may be reduced. If you have any questions please call our office at 360.679.4003 or contact us at reservations@seatacshuttle.com. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) regulates us and proposed and passed these regulations. Penny Ingram of the UTC may be contacted at 360-664-1242 or pingram@utc.wa.gov or mail to: Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission 1300 S. Evergreen Park Drive SW P.O. Box 47250 Olympia, WA 98504-7250 E-Mail: comments@utc.wa.gov Telephone: 1-888-333-WUTC (9882).

    • Infant/child restraint devices for ticketed children
    • Outer garments (coat, hat, umbrella, etc.)

  • Baggage Liability
    This company does not accept checked baggage. Checked baggage means passenger baggage that is accepted for transportation but is not carried in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Most airporters do not provide checked baggage service. Baggage is placed in a secured portion of the passenger compartment that is separate from the seating area and accessed from the back of the vehicle. Should the company accept any checked baggage it is required to be liable for checked baggage at the rate of $100.00 per child and $250.00 per adult. It is further required to provide excess liability of up to $1000.00 per adult fare for checked baggage for an additional fee. A fee of $10.00 plus $2.00 per $100.00 (or any portion thereof) of excess valuation would be charged. Baggage contents would be subject to inspection and verification prior to issuing excess valuation. In such case forms would be available from the business office or the driver.
