Shuttle location
Also called shuttle pickup, courtesy shuttle
The short answerA pickup where the rental company collects you by bus or van and drives you to its office.
What it means
A shuttle location is any rental branch you reach by the rental company's own transport rather than on foot. It's typical for off-airport branches and some rental car centers. The booking usually explains where to meet the shuttle and how to call it.
Why it matters
The meeting point and the shuttle's hours matter as much as the office hours. Missing the last shuttle can mean missing the pickup.
