    Does 1440 offer shuttle service to and from the airport?

    1440 does not offer an airport shuttle service, but strongly encourages guests to use rideshare services, carpool or hire a taxi. Given the immersive and all-inclusive nature of our on-campus experience, you do not need a car during your time with us. If you do choose to drive, onsite parking at 1440 Multiversity is available on a first-come basis. On departure day, rideshare can be difficult to source so we recommend you afford plenty of time for your return to the airport as beach traffic can create time delays or limit access to rideshare opportunities.
