Common questions
If yours is not here, ask — we answer email and WhatsApp within a day.
Does this transfer go via the expressway?
Yes — the Southern Expressway keeps this one of the fastest routes on the island.
Is this a taxi or a private transfer?
It's a private, chauffeur-driven car or van booked in advance at a fixed price — not a metered taxi hailed on the street.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes — the price shown is the total for the vehicle, agreed before you travel. There's no meter and no surge pricing.
What's included in the price?
The driver, the vehicle, air conditioning, bottled water and Wi-Fi — the same as our day-hire cars and vans.
What if our flight is delayed?
Let us know your updated arrival time as soon as you have it and we'll adjust the pickup — there's no extra charge for a late landing.
