FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How far in advance should I book a ride?
Your transfer or hourly hire service should be booked at least 72 hours in advance. If you don't have that much time, you can book an urgent transfer. We will inform you as soon as possible whether we can provide the service or not.
What pick-up time should I specify for transfer?
If you require a transfer from an airport or railway station, we recommend that you specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This will make it easier for the driver to organize the meeting.
If you require a transfer from a hotel to an airport, please state the time you wish to be met at reception. You will need to calculate the departure time by yourself. We recommend that you add 3 hours for airport check-in to the time of the ride. The approximate time the driver will need to arrive at the airport is shown on the booking page. For example, if your flight departs at 14:00 and the transfer time is 1 hour, the pick-up time should be 10:00.
