I've never prebooked there, but have seen many board the shuttle that have. They always ask about a card for a discount from the driver which I gather the booking site instructs you to ask for. You insert that in the ticket reader when you exit, along with your parking ticket. I've got those unsolicited in the past. Once it gave me 6 days for free (I went to the counter and paid for 5 days, as I was told the card from the driver was good for one free day), and just last week on a 3 day stay before Christmas the card gave me a 5% discount ($28.50 instead of $30 for 3 days, plus tax---rates jump up this week to $10 a day).
If you're getting $6 parking I might have to prebook. My recent stays outside of last week have been at $8 a day.
Their shuttles do run every 20 mins, but think that stops at midnight or 1.
