Before You Request a Quote from Mackinac Island

Trips are planned, non-emergency, and cover 180 miles or more — a same-town or across-town ride is not what this service does.

Beyond that, the practical answer families want when they are comparing providers: we own the vehicles and run the trips ourselves rather than handing them to an outside carrier, so the crew that collects the passenger is the crew that delivers them.
