English term or phrase:shuttle or limousine service
It is recommended to use a shuttle or limousine service to the airport only if it is less expensive than leaving your vehicle for the duration of the trip.
Explanation: Добираться до аэропорта в шаттл-автобусе или лимузине рекомендуется лишь в том случае, если стоимость проезда на них ниже платы за оставление вашего автомобиля на стоянке у аэропорта на время вашей поездки.
Имхо.

What Does the Word “Limousine” Mean?
By Jon LeSage
As I was attending the International LCT Show last month, I asked several operators about their fleet status. At one point, it dawned on me that several companies with the word “limousine” in the corporate names have very few stretch limousines left in their fleets. They have a lot of sedans, SUVs, vans, and buses, but not too many stretches – which is opposite the way things used to be in the industry. Stretch limos were the essence of the fleet until Town Car sedans increased substantially in the 1990s and other fleet trends built up speed.
So where does the word “limousine” come from, and what does it mean to this industry? The National Limousine Association uses this word only in its name to describe the business, and many of its members focus much less on stretch limousines in their fleets. But the word still means something important for this industry.
According to the Random House College Dictionary (and Wikipedia), “the word limousine is derived from the name of the French region Limousin and is associated with the long cloaks once worn by the shepherds there.” The idea of limousines being elegant and high class goes back to the word’s origin.
And these days? The Merriam-Webster dictionary offers this definition of the word:
1 : a large luxurious often chauffeur-driven sedan that usually has a glass partition separating the driver's seat from the passenger compartment
2 : a large vehicle for transporting passengers to and from an airport
The first definition does focus on stretch sedans, which is made clear by the glass partition reference. The second definition focuses on airport runs, which has become about half the transaction volume in this industry and has very little to do with stretch limos these days.
Шатлы = это правильно. Маршрутные такси обычно ходят по утвержденному маршруту, а шатлы - загружают клиентов по схеме, которая покажется оптимальной водителю
Что касается лимузинов, то мне кажется, что речь об обычном такси. Как-то странно видеть сочетание шатла (совсем бюджетный вариант) и лимузина (совсем небюджетный). В этой цепочке логичнее смотрится такси.
