Campus pickups, airport runs and game day rides for the Notre Dame community. Students pay a flat $5 per person. Available 24 hours a day, all year.
Notre Dame rates
Flat rates apply on football weekends and sporting events, so the price doesn't move with demand. Full list on the rates page.
Campus and nearby pickups
We know the campus roads and how traffic moves on a home weekend, so pickups happen where you actually are rather than somewhere approximate.
Who rides with us
Students
Airport runs at the start and end of term, trips into town, and rides home after a night out. The $5 student rate makes a cab cheaper than the parking you'd pay for anyway.
Visiting families
Move-in weekend, parents' weekend and graduation. Book ahead and we'll collect you from the airport with room for the luggage.
Faculty and staff
Conference travel, standing commutes, and rides for anyone with limited mobility who'd rather not deal with campus parking.
Game day visitors
Tailgate without worrying about the drive home. We run through the whole football season, including the late kickoffs.
Booking on a home weekend
Book early for football Saturdays.Advance reservations are strongly recommended for Notre Dame football weekends, graduation, move-in and other major campus events. Book as early as possible once your travel plans are confirmed..
The rate doesn't change. No surge pricing on game day, New Year's Eve or in a snowstorm. What we quote is what you pay.
Groups are straightforward. Shuttle vans take a full group with luggage, so nobody splits across two vehicles.
Flights are tracked. If your inbound is delayed we move the pickup rather than leaving you at the terminal.
