Why choose a private transfer
- No waiting for other passengers. Shared shuttles fill the van first and drop people at several hotels.
- Fixed price per vehicle. For a family or a group of friends it usually costs less per person than a taxi or a shared shuttle.
- Your flight is tracked. If your flight is late, the driver adjusts the pickup time.
Groups of 9 to 16 people fit in one group van; for more comfort for up to 6, choose a luxury SUV.
How it works
- Book online with your flight number, hotel and number of passengers. You receive a confirmation email with the meeting point.
- Land, clear immigration and customs, then walk straight through the exit hall. The people offering free rides or tours inside are mostly timeshare sellers.
- Meet your driver outside the terminal. They hold a sign with your name and follow your flight, so a delay is not a problem.
- Ride straight to your hotel with no stops at other hotels.
