How to compare airport transfers

  • Enter your flight number when the form asks for it, so the provider can follow the arrival time it shows.
  • Waiting time after landing differs between providers, so read that line before you book.
  • State every passenger and every large bag, because the vehicle class is chosen from both.
  • If you travel with children, check whether child seats can be requested and whether they cost extra.
  • Save the meeting instructions and the provider's contact details somewhere you can reach without data.
  • Road tolls and airport access fees are included by some providers and added by others; the quote says which.
  • For a late-night or early-morning arrival, confirm the provider serves that hour and whether a night surcharge applies.
  • Line up the transfer's free-cancellation cut-off with how flexible your flight ticket is.
  • A per-seat shuttle fare and a per-vehicle private fare are not the same thing, so compare like with like.

Before you book

  • Note the provider's deadline for free changes, if it offers one, in your calendar.
  • Allow time between booking and travel for confirmation to arrive.
  • If you need step-free access or other help, ask the provider first.
  • Take screenshots of the offer and terms at the time of booking.
  • Because prices move with demand, make your comparison in one sitting for identical dates.
