Cancellation policy.
Tacoma Shuttle understands that travel plans may change, and we strive to offer a fair and transparent cancellation policy.
Cancellation & refund eligibility
- Full refund — cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled pickup time to receive a full refund. Cancellations must be made through the Tacoma Shuttle website or official mobile app.
- Non-refundable booking fees (phone reservations) — if a reservation was made over the phone, the booking fee is non-refundable even if canceled 24 hours before pickup.
- Late cancellations (less than 24 hours) — cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup time will not be refunded.
- Same-day bookings (within 24 hours of pickup) — reservations made within 24 hours of the scheduled pickup time are non-refundable and cannot be canceled for a refund.
- Reservation abandonment — if you fail to appear at the designated pickup location and are unreachable via the "Day of Travel" contact number provided, the reservation will be considered abandoned and no refund will be issued.
How to cancel a reservation
- Online — log in to your Tacoma Shuttle account, go to the Travel History page, and select the reservation you wish to cancel.
- Mobile app — cancel your booking following the same process as the website.
- Customer support — for assistance, contact our support team at (253) 666-6560. Phone cancellations are subject to the non-refundable booking-fee policy.
Refund processing
Approved refunds for eligible cancellations are processed within 24 hours, excluding weekends and federal holidays. For any cancellation or refund inquiries, please contact Tacoma Shuttle's Customer Support Team.
Flight cancellations & delays.
Tacoma Shuttle understands that airline schedules may be subject to delays or cancellations beyond a traveler's control. To accommodate disruptions while keeping scheduling efficient, the following applies.
Your responsibility to notify us
You are required to notify Tacoma Shuttle as soon as possible if your flight is delayed or canceled. Failure to communicate airline-related changes in a timely manner may result in reservation abandonment and forfeiture of the fare with no refund.
Impact on reservations
For inbound rides, our dispatch system tracks your flight number automatically — you generally do not need to notify us of delays that we can already see. For outbound rides where your originating flight has been rescheduled or canceled and it affects your pickup timing, please notify us as soon as possible.
If a flight delay causes a missed pickup, Tacoma Shuttle will attempt to reschedule the ride, subject to driver and vehicle availability. Travelers affected by flight cancellations may qualify for a refund only if a replacement reservation is made for a later time. Rescheduling and refunds are not guaranteed and depend on the severity of the delay and our availability.
How to notify Tacoma Shuttle

Include your reservation number and new flight details.
