Good to know
Your questions, answered.
What is the shuttle service for?
It’s designed for cyclists doing «tip-to-tip» trips on the Confederation Trail or The Island Walk. It brings you and your bike to the western or from the eastern end of PEI
What is the shuttle schedule?
The schedule is fixed. Depart MacQueen’s in Charlottetown for Western PEI (e.g., Tignish) at 9:00 AM. Pick-up from Eastern PEI (e.g., Elmira) is at 3:00 PM.
What is the cost of the shuttle? Do you offer other routes or luggage transfers?
Rates are per departure, not per person. View rates by route and # of travelers. If you have a drop-off or pickup point not listed, email info@macqueens.com for a quote prior to submitting your reservation request. MacQueen’s doesn’t arrange inn-to-inn luggage transfers for cyclists embarking on DIY trips; that service is only available for travelers booking an organized tour with MacQueen’s Island Tours.
What is your luggage policy for shuttles?
Each person can bring one small/medium suitcase or a set of panniers. Overnight luggage storage is also available at the shop as an add-on service for rental clients.
What is the payment method for the shuttle?
Please email info@macqueens.com for the payment requirements that apply to your travel date. Confirm payment arrangements before your transfer.
What is your cancellation policy?
Request the shuttle cancellation conditions from info@macqueens.com before confirming your transfer.
What if I’m delayed arriving to the pickup point?
We schedule shuttle time slots based on our availability. While we’ll always try to help, drivers often have commitments to other guests and may not be able to wait. 30-minute grace period: Drivers will wait up to 30 minutes past your confirmed pickup time. After 30 minutes: You’ll be marked as a no-show, the driver will leave, and your full shuttle fee + $50 + HST delay charge will be charged to your card. If the driver can stay longer: Any extra waiting time beyond the original pickup time will be added to your total cost. Late fee: $50 + HST per hour, but you must notify us in advance. Always call MacQueen’s as soon as you know you’ll be delayed.
How far in advance should I book?
Reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. We have a limited # of in-house vehicles, so if they are otherwise committed for your travel dates, we may still be able to arrange services with a third party, but in that case prices may fluctuate. Demand is highest from June through September. The earlier you commit, the higher the likelihood we can confirm your service.
