When should you book a transfer service? Why?

When should you book a transfer service? Why? No matter where you are traveling, after booking your plane tickets you will need to hire a transfer service that will take you from the airport to your destination city for usually airports are located outside of the city. Once you have landed, cleared customs, and picked up your luggage, getting to your hotel will be a fairly simple task. At every airport you will find at least one transfer service, and in more crowded airports you will have a full-range of options to choose among.

Nowadays, more and more people are choosing to use pre-arranged airport transfers with a private transfer company because the advantages are many. The main reasons why people go for pre-arranged airport transfers are comfort, peace of mind, air-conditioning, and a comfortable vehicle. When you book a pre-reserved airport transfer, you will be booking VIP service: your driver will be waiting for you at the airport gate with your private vehicle ready to take you directly to your hotel or neighbouring city. The companies offering these services usually have a modern fleet so you will be guaranteed all the comfort that new vehicles provide. In addition, many private transfer companies also offer clients round-trip transfers, which means that you can arrange a pick-up from the hotel to take you back to the airport when your vacation or business trip is over. The price for these transfers is not usually significantly higher than a city taxi and it is a very easy choice for most tourists. Somo companies will also offer you a cheaper option for people traveling light and on a budget: shuttle service, where you can share the transfer with other people arriving at the airport at the same time.


If you think you would like to opt for a private transfer service, it is very important that you decide with plenty of time in advance. In order to provide quality, reliable service, companies offering private transfer services require that you book your transfer beforehand. The companies need to know exactly when you are arriving, on which flight, and how many people are you so as to have a suitable vehicle ready for you at the time of your arrival.  Some companies require that you book as much as at least 48 hours in advance! And during peak season, you might have trouble finding a transfer available. That is why as soon as you have all your travel arrangements made, and know your schedule you must contact the transfer company of your choice and make a reservation. You will never be too early to book a transfer, and in some cases, if you book early you will get discounts or a better choice of vehicle. If you would like to book a round-trip service, it might be easier for you to let the company know when you make the reservation since the price will be lowered, but can arrange that once you are at the airport too.
