For those driving on base, you will need the gate pass (able to download from RTC site about 10 days before PIR), proof of insurance, drivers license and registration....for those with rental cars, you just need the rental agreement, gate pass,  plus driver's license.

We had a rental car when up there, but chose to use the shuttle for PIR.  We would do it that way again.  It was very easy.  We signed up for our time at the front desk of our hotel (this was before we knew about Sarge so this was the area taxi service.....same price).  We left the hotel at 6:30 and were at RTC by 6:40.  In PIR Hall a few minutes after 7.  We picked the shuttle back up in the designated parking lot, no issues.  Some may opt to drive and park off base, which would be at the train station right past RTC.  Paid parking, but minimal.  Others will just drive on base.  Lots of choices!

To SMW729: When my older son was in, we did take Sarge's taxi.  It has pros cons.  Depends if you are from the area or not on your preference.  We are less then 3 hours south of Great Lakes, but it was snowing so bad, that we decided to take the shuttles as we did not want to deal with too many inexperienced drivers in the snow.  They did pick us up from the Navy Lodge.  

We got there kind of later than most people who drove themselves, had to walk a bit in the wonderful snow and wind.  Then when we left, more walking in the cold and wind. We were still there in plenty of time for ceremony!!!!

We will most likely drive this time, since we know our way around better.  My older one had A school there, so we spent a lot of time visiting and such.  

We did not have a bad experience with the shuttles.  But they make it sound like if you do not take the shuttles, you will sit in line for a really long time.  We did not see that from the people that drove themselves.  And this time it will be early November and not the end of January, so hopefully there will be no snow!!!

I have a question maybe someone knows the answer to, would it be better to take the shuttle to PIR or my own car?
