 SHUTTLES
"It's all right
letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back"
-- Mick
Jagger
When it comes to moving folks around the Big Bend, count
on the Far Flung Outdoor Center to do it right! Whether it's a private vehicle
that needs moving or you require the use of our vans and trailers to haul gear,
FFOC offers:
- Drivers whose records reflect a safe, caring
attitude
- On time service - we guarantee to be there 30 minutes
prior to your designated take-out time
- Clean, dependable and air conditioned vehicles
- 30 years of experience operating in the Big Bend
Because of distances here in West Texas, shuttle logistics
can be confusing and frankly downright expensive if some thought is not given
to moving vehicles in the most efficient and effective manner.
Contact us with any questions you might have
regarding our shuttle services.
There are three basic ways to shuttle vehicles in the Big
Bend:
- Use our Shuttle Express service and let us handle all
of the logistics
- Use our FFOC private shuttle service
- Use some combination of the Express and private
service.
FFOC Shuttle Express
For river trips with two
or more boats or hikers needing a pick-up or drop off, the FFOC Shuttle Express
makes life easy. Arrive at our office in Study Butte on the day of departure,
transfer your gear to our vehicles/trailers and we'll take care of the rest.
Your vehicle can be conveniently stored at our office for the duration of your
trip. Need your vehicle washed, started or a tire fixed while you are out? No
problem, FFOC can handle those chores as well. Below is a sampling of our
prices to various river destinations. Contact us with any special requests or
questions.

Private Shuttle Service
Have your own vehicles/
trailers and just need someone to move them from point to point? Need to leave
a vehicle at our facility until take-out day? Let our courteous and responsible
staff handle the driving chores. Our private shuttle staff is hand picked for
the excellent driving records and they won't get lost trying to find the
take-out. All FFOC staff are non-smokers in your vehicle!
