Guides from the people who drive it
Timings, tolls, routes and the parts of a booking people get wrong. Most of what is here exists because somebody asked us the same question three times in a week. Search by keyword or filter by topic below.
Gig Harbor to Sea-Tac: the 26 miles, leg by leg
Twenty-six miles, 40 to 55 minutes, one toll bridge and two places where the timing actually moves. The full breakdown of the route we drive more than any other, with a pickup time for every flight hour and a straight answer on the eastbound-only Narrows toll.
What time to leave Gig Harbor for every Sea-Tac flight hour
Eight flight times, eight pickup times, and the two stretches of road that decide whether the buffer was worth it. LIVE.
What a limo from Gig Harbor to Sea-Tac actually costs
Rates by vehicle, then the honest comparison against parking, rideshare and light rail over trips of two days and ten. LIVE.
Grad night and after-prom: what parents should agree before the night
The eight things worth fixing in writing, why the route should not change at 11pm, and how to handle an after-party address that appears by text.
Pier 66 or Pier 91: which Seattle cruise terminal are you sailing from
They are five miles and a very different traffic problem apart. How to check, what time to leave the harbour, and why the Port of Tacoma is not an option.
Wedding guest shuttles: the arithmetic nobody does
Ninety guests, a venue with parking for forty and an open bar. What a loop actually costs per head, and why it is the line couples cut first and regret most.
How many people actually fit in a stretch limo
Ten seats and five suitcases are not the same number. A plain-English guide to seats versus bags across all nine vehicle classes, and the sizing mistake almost everyone makes.
The Kitsap brewery trail in one afternoon
Port Orchard to Poulsbo in four stops, in the right order, with the drive times that make it a seven-hour booking rather than a five.
Narrows Bridge tolls, explained properly
Eastbound only, fixed rate at every hour, three ways to pay at three different prices. Why the drive home is cheaper than the drive out, and when the bridge goes toll-free.
Booking a party bus: pick the hours, not the vehicle
Most groups get the bus right and the hours wrong. Where the night actually overruns, why one pickup address is the cheapest decision you can make, and when rideshares are the better answer.
Why 4am airport runs are hard west of the Narrows
Rideshare supply in Belfair, Fox Island and the Key Peninsula before dawn, told honestly. What actually happens when you open the app at 3:40, and what pre-booking changes.
Ground transport and duty of care: what a travel policy should say
Putting an employee in an unvetted vehicle at 11pm is a liability question, not a convenience one. Certificates of insurance, vetted drivers, and why surge pricing breaks a budget line.
Winter travel on SR-16: what we do differently
Wind restrictions on the Narrows Bridge, standing water at the Gorst end, and how much earlier we set a pickup between November and February.
Or skip the blog and go to the source
Most of what people search for is already answered in full on the service pages. The blog is for the angles those pages do not cover.

Got a question we have not written about
Call and ask. If it comes up three times in a week it becomes a post, and either way you get a straight answer on the phone rather than a form response. Dispatch answers 24 hours a day.
