The GO Group

What The GO Group does

The GO Group, LLC is a privately held consortium and franchise platform founded in August 2007 and headquartered in Illinois (operating presence cited in Baltimore and Chicago) that aggregates independent airport shuttle and ground transportation operators under the "GO Airport Shuttle" / "GO With Us" brand. The central entity is owned by 10 of its approximately 35 member companies and functions as a franchise hub rather than a vertically integrated carrier; member companies retain operational independence while benefiting from shared branding, collective marketing, and a unified national booking platform.

The product portfolio spans shared-ride airport shuttles (the entry-level, eco-friendly option), airport car service (direct sedan/SUV rides), private car service (premium point-to-point and hourly charters), private van service (groups of 6–13), economy airport transfers, cruise port transportation, and hourly charters. The underlying technology is a centralized booking and network operations platform supporting multi-city itinerary management (the ability to schedule all four legs of a trip in a single booking through a single point of contact), flight tracking for pickup adjustments, and SSL-encrypted credit card transactions. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer through gowithus.com and a 773-363-0001 reservations line, augmented by a corporate accounts program, a travel trade channel, and an affiliate program; the platform processes approximately 13 million passenger rides per year across 85+ cities in the United States, Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, and Europe.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based ride fees, with all services requiring upfront credit card prepayment, all-inclusive pricing (no surge pricing), and tiered unit pricing ranging from approximately $19 per person for shared rides to higher private car and van fares. The customer base is heavily long-tail: roughly 60% leisure travelers and 21% business travelers per an internal survey, with the remainder comprising group bookings, corporate accounts, and travel trade/reseller volume; no large enterprise anchor customers are disclosed. The GO Group does not disclose consolidated revenue, has no institutional funding rounds on record, and is distinguished commercially by its FIFA World Cup 2026 transportation program covering all 16 host cities.

Products and services

• Shared Ride Airport Shuttle Affordable, eco-friendly shared-ride airport shuttle where passengers share rides and costs, with pickups and drop-offs grouped by direction. Most budget-friendly option, with shared-ride rates typically starting around $19 one-way per person.
• Airport Car Service Direct, nonstop airport rides in sedans and SUVs with no intermediate stops. Ideal for business travel, couples, or small groups who prefer a direct ride.

• Private Van Service Private van transportation for groups of 6 or more passengers, with vans comfortably seating up to 13 passengers and ample luggage space. Cost per person decreases as group size increases.

Direct peers

• ExecuCar: ExecuCar offers pre-booked airport sedan and SUV service in major U.S. cities with fixed, all-inclusive pricing. It overlaps directly with GO's airport car service tier and targets a similar business-traveler segment.
• GroundLink: GroundLink is a pre-booked, professional black-car and airport transfer service operating in major U.S. and international markets. It is comparable to GO on the premium private-car and corporate-account product dimensions.
• Carey International: Carey is a global chauffeured ground transportation provider serving airports, corporate travel, and group transfers with a multi-city network. It is a direct peer in premium airport and executive car service, with the same corporate-account and event-transport use cases GO targets.
• Mozio: Mozio is a ground transportation aggregator and API platform that lets OTAs, airlines, and travel agencies resell airport transfers from local operators. It is comparable to GO as a technology-and-network layer connecting travelers to local shuttle and car-service providers in many of the same cities.
• Blacklane: Blacklane provides pre-booked, professional chauffeur and airport transfer service in 50+ countries with upfront, all-inclusive pricing and a global booking platform. It is the closest direct competitor to GO's private car and black-car product, with a similar multi-city itinerary model and corporate-account focus.
• Jayride: Jayride is an airport transfer marketplace that aggregates local shuttle and private-car operators across 1,000+ airports worldwide, similar in concept to GO's consortium model. It is a direct peer in the ground-transport aggregator category, with B2B and consumer booking channels.
• Welcome Pickups: Welcome Pickups is an airport transfer marketplace operating in 200+ cities, with pre-booked drivers, fixed pricing, and in-destination concierge features. It competes head-on with GO's airport transfer value proposition and offers a mobile-first booking flow that GO currently lacks.
• SuperShuttle (historical): SuperShuttle was historically the largest shared-ride airport shuttle franchise in the U.S. before ceasing operations and selling assets. It was the closest structural peer to GO's shared-ride airport shuttle franchise model and is the most directly comparable historical competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Uber: Uber dominates on-demand airport transfers in the U.S. and globally via UberX, Uber Black, and Uber for Business. It is a broad incumbent rather than a direct franchise peer, but it sets customer expectations on price transparency, app UX, and pickup speed that GO must compete against.
• Lyft: Lyft is a major rideshare incumbent with dedicated airport product features and a corporate travel offering. It competes with GO on solo and small-party airport transfers and represents the incumbent benchmark for app-based airport pickup.
