Frequently Asked Questions

Booking

  • What is the difference between a shared transfer, private transfer and a shuttle transfer?
    • A private transfer is a door to door service in which your group has sole occupancy of the vehicle. You will be transported between the airport and your accommodation, and you will not have to wait for or travel with any other passengers.
    • A shared transfer is a door-to-door service in which your group will share the vehicle with other passengers, who are on flights landing and departing around the same time as your own. There will be multiple pickups and drop offs, and you may be expected to wait at the airport on both travel dates.
    • A shuttle transfer Is a timetabled point-to-point service that runs at fixed times between the airport and centralised locations in resort. Your group must select the time that works best for your flight times, allowing adequate time to drop off / collect baggage and clear passport control / security.
