One way bus/shuttle from GC to Las Vegas? Ground trasnport in Springdale?
 
Howdy all - I know there are bus tours from Vegas to GC...does anyone know if it's possible to book a one way GC to Vegas bus or shuttle?

I've got a small group going to GC in a couple of months. A couple will be returning to Vegas, while the rest of us continue to Zion and I'm trying to find the returnees some options to get to Vegas (besides renting a car).

Once in Zion, a couple of folks may also leave early. I presume there is no bus service from Springdale to a major airport. Are there car rental facilities?

Thank you in advance!

That's complicated.

There's a shuttle service between the South Rim and Flagstaff.

From there, Greyhound runs between Flagstaff and Las Vegas. Just a cursory check on Greyhound shows a fare of $34 one way per person. It would possibly be cheaper for them to rent a car one-way from Flagstaff to Las Vegas.

I am pretty sure the closest bus service to Springdale is in St. George (again, Greyhound). There is also a shuttle from St. George to Las Vegas.
http://www.desertshuttle.com/ Same scenario - for more than one person, it is possibly cheaper to rent a car one-way from St. George to Las Vegas, as long as you can get them to St. George. It's only an hour drive from Springdale to St. George.

Best thing is to rent a car.

Wicked Desert Experience has a one way shuttle from Grand Canyon to Las Vegas for $60. The would also get you from Las Vegas to Zion National Park (drops you off in Springdale) www.wdexperience.com

The Wicked Desert Experience shuttle is designed for backpackers exploring the south west. The shuttle gets you off the beaten path without having to rent a car!
