Shuttle Services

!Our shuttle policy has changed!

We now offer private vehicle shuttles. This means the vehicle you drive to our store will be the vehicle that we move. You will drive to the put-in location. While you are on the river, we will move your personal vehicle to the take-out location. We do recommend that you bring a spare set of keys with you, however, it is no problem at all if you only have one set of keys. The details of where the keys will be left will be discussed at the office while you are checking in.

Changes in shuttle destination or date:

If you need to change your takeout location, we will make every effort to accommodate your request. However, please note that such changes are not guaranteed and may be subject to availability.

Modifications to the original destination may incur additional charges. If the vehicle has already been transported to the initial location, an extra fee will apply to redirect it or pass your preferred pickup point.

Vehicle problems:

Vehicle breakdowns that create inordinate staff time to handle or other Buffalo River Outfitters out-of-pocket expenses may result in an additional charge. These problems can include flat tire(s), engine or frame issues, inadequate gasoline level, etc.

Prices vary on:

  • location for put-in and take-out
  • personal boats
