GO Airport Shuttle

What GO Airport Shuttle does

GO Airport Shuttle (legal entity The GO Group, LLC) is a privately held, Illinois-domiciled consortium/franchise founded in August 2007 that operates a centralized booking platform for airport ground transportation across 85+ cities and airports in North America (USA, Canada, Mexico), the Caribbean, Australia, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe. It is owned by 10 of its 28 member transportation operators and connects roughly 13 million passengers per year to vetted independent shuttle, van, and black-car providers under a single brand (also marketed as GOWithUs.com since March 2022).

The platform's core technology is an online reservation system (gowithus.com) offering 24/7 booking, flight tracking, fixed-rate all-inclusive pricing with no surge component, and multi-city itinerary booking that lets a traveler schedule all four legs of a round trip in a single reservation. Product lines include shared-ride shuttles (the lowest-priced and most eco-positioned offering), private car service, airport van service for 6+ passengers, premium black-car/hourly charter, economy private transfers, and cruise port transportation. Pricing is per-ride, pay-as-you-go, with a prepayment requirement, a 24-hour cancellation/refund policy, and a $5 administrative fee on refunded bookings.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis across all five service tiers, with go-to-market executed through direct-to-consumer booking (website and 773-363-0001 phone line), a corporate accounts program, and travel-trade reseller partnerships (most recently highlighted at IPW 2026 in Chicago). Customer segments span leisure travelers, business travelers, and group travelers (6+ passengers), with a developing international tourist segment served by Spanish, French, and German language portals launched in May 2026 to capture FIFA World Cup 2026 demand across 16 host cities.
