FAQ’s
How many pieces of luggage can I take on a transfer?
Luggage policy: One piece of medium size luggage and one piece of hand luggage such as a handbag or small bag is permitted per passenger seat. Carry-on cases are considered to be suitcases rather than hand luggage. For example, if you have booked an 8-passenger vehicle you are allowed to bring 8 pieces of medium size luggage and 8 pieces of hand luggage.
We strongly recommend you upgrade to a larger vehicle if you consider you travel with extra luggage.
Our prices are per vehicle not per person and you must keep in mind the amount of people and pieces of luggage at the time of booking. If a last-minute upgrade is necessary because the luggage exceeds the amount described at the booking time, a difference will be charged.
Availability of chairs for babies or children and how to book?
Child seats can be added when making your reservation, during the booking process. The cost of child seats differs from one airport to another but whenever possible, these extras will be offered completely free of charge.
Booster seats are suitable for children between 15 and 36 kg (or 4-12 years old).
Baby seats are suitable for small children weighing between 9 and 18 kg (or 10 months to 4 years old).
-If you need a baby seat for a child less than 10 months old, you should travel with yours.
What happens when my flight, cruise line or train is late?
We monitor the arrival times of flights, trains and cruises in case of delays. Please contact us using the number or email address provided on your booking voucher to inform of any delay. Whenever possible, we and our partners will do everything possible to reschedule the transfer according to your new arrival time. If your delay exceeds 3 hours you must claim the cost of your transfer from your flight, cruise or train provider.
Waiting time
Airport Pick-up: Our driver will wait for you for 120 minutes or 2 (two) hours after your plane has landed. If you have correctly indicated your flight number, it will be monitored, and our driver will wait for you for one hour after the plane has landed. Flight changes must be communicated at least 24 hours before arrival. If your flight number is incorrect or has changed and we have not been informed, our driver will wait for one hour from the arrival time you have selected in your reservation.
At other pick-up points such as addresses, hotels or ports the waiting time of our drivers will be 30 minutes. Some hotels do not allow such a long stay of the vehicles at their passenger pick-up point. Please take the necessary precautions to be on time at the pick-up point, which is generally at the main entrance to the hotel lobby.
We cannot be held responsible for the costs incurred due to flight delays or lost travel connections as a result of bad weather conditions, the condition of the roads or any other factor beyond our control.
How do I find my driver or my transfer company?
After collecting your luggage, please proceed through the doors in the arrival’s terminal, outside to the airport hallway where all the tour operators will be waiting for passengers. Our driver or a representative will be waiting for you with a sign showing the lead passenger’s name. Please pay close attention and find your name in a paper sign or tablet. If you don’t find the driver outside, please contact the emergency numbers located in your voucher.
Transfers from the Airport to your destination
Our driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall of the airport to meet & greet you.
Transfers from your destination to the airport
Our driver will wait for you at the reception of your accommodation or outside the building.
–Ignore the last-minute salespeople lurking at these airports or arrival and boarding points.

If you decide to leave with another transfer company, it will be considered a non-show, and no refund will be provided.

If you’re unable to find the exact postal address using our search tool, you can provide it later in the comments section during the booking process.
