Private transfers: how they work & when they’re worth it
Prices last verified: June 2026A clear-eyed look at the paid, door-to-door option
A private transfer is a pre-booked car at a fixed price, with a driver meeting you at Arrivals. We’re not a transfer company — we lead with public transport whenever it genuinely works — but for some trips a transfer is the sensible choice, so here’s the straight version.
How they work
- Book in advance with your flight number, destination and group size.
- Fixed price, agreed up front — no meter, no surge, no haggling.
- Meet & greet: the driver waits at Arrivals with a name board and tracks your flight, so a delay doesn’t cost you the ride.
- Door to door: hotel entrance to hotel entrance, luggage included.
When they’re worth it — and when they’re not
On every destination page the transfer sits in the comparison table like any other option — never pushed above a cheaper public route that genuinely works.
