How do I book a transfer?+
Select your pick-up and drop-off points, date, and time, then complete your booking online. After confirmation, you’ll receive all the details and the driver’s contact information by email.
How do I know where to meet the driver?+
Meeting details – including the pick-up location, driver’s contact, and whether they’ll be holding a sign with your name – are provided in your confirmation email. For airport transfers, the driver usually waits in the arrivals area.
What if my flight is delayed?+
Most transfers track flight status automatically. Still, it’s best to enter your flight number when booking and contact the driver or support team directly if needed.
Can I cancel or modify my transfer?+
Yes, but it depends on the booking conditions. Many transfers offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up. Always check the cancellation policy on the booking page.
How do I rent a car?+
Select the location, rental dates, and car type. Add any options you need (such as cross-border travel or a child seat), then confirm your booking.
Is a deposit required?+
It depends on the rental conditions. Some companies require a deposit, while others do not. In most cases, the amount is temporarily held on your bank card until the car is returned. In some cases, a cash deposit may be accepted, but this is less common – always check the terms when booking.
Can I drive a rental car across the border?+
Not always. The possibility and conditions for cross-border travel depend on the rental company and the specific vehicle. Check in advance – in most cases, an additional fee applies.
Where do I return the car?+
The return location is specified during booking. It can be the same place where you picked up the car or a different city or airport – additional fees may apply for one-way rentals.
