Though not required, fixed-base operators generally also provide at least basic auxiliary services to pilots, flight crew, and passengers such as restroom facilities, telecommunication services, and waiting areas. [[General aviation]] FBOs (commonly in the U.S.) sometimes provide ''courtesy cars'' that can be used for free or little cost by flight crews mostly for short trips from the airport and the surrounding city area. Larger and better equipped FBOs may additionally offer food vending and restaurant facilities, ground transportation arrangements by taxi/limousine, shuttle van, [[flight planning]] and weather information areas (computer- or telephone-based), rest lounges and showers, aviation supplies shop (selling [[Aeronautical chart|navigation charts]], manuals, or in-flight comfort items), access to in-flight catering, and accommodations reservations or [[concierge]] services for both crew and passengers through a [[Customer service advisor|customer service representative]] (CSR).
