Choose the transfer
Compare the total door-to-door price, passenger capacity and luggage space. Confirm whether the final accommodation lies inside a vehicle-restricted area.
For shared services, verify pickup time and whether another transfer is required.
Arrival coordination
Send the live flight number and accommodation name to the driver. Keep the exact meeting point and provider contact offline.
Late at night, a pre-booked ride is more predictable than assuming a shared departure will still operate.
