Questions
Airport departure transfer questions
What is an airport departure transfer?
A pre-booked private ride from your hotel, home or office to the airport, arranged with a chauffeur before the day, with the pickup timed to your check-in.
How early will I be picked up?
The pickup is timed backwards from your check-in cut-off, with a traffic buffer and terminal drop-off built in, so you reach the airport with time to spare.
Can I be picked up from a hotel?
Yes, from any hotel lobby, timed to your flight’s departure window. Homes and offices are picked up the same way.
How long will the chauffeur wait at my hotel or home?
15 minutes from the scheduled pickup time. Waiting beyond that may carry an additional charge, so tell the booking desk if you are running late.
Can I book the return in the same reservation?
Yes. A round trip can be booked in a single reservation covering both legs, and the return pickup is adjusted if the return flight is delayed.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on distance, vehicle class and add-ons such as a child seat, plus any late-night, public holiday, short-notice or toll charges. All of it is in your quote, and once you pay the price is fixed. It does not change with traffic or weather.
Can I change or cancel the booking?
Changes and cancellations are accepted up to 48 hours before the scheduled flight time. Within 48 hours, or for a no-show, full charges apply. A few airports and services differ from this standard policy; the Terms set out the full policy.
Waiting time, changes, cancellations and refunds are set out in full in our Terms & Conditions.
