About The Service
Q. How close to the accommodation will we be dropped off/ picked up?
A.We aim to provide a door-to-door service. Occasionally this not possible for access reasons (narrow or pedestrianized streets, private estates, or type / size of vehicle physically not allowing a nearer approach )
Q. What is the difference between Shuttle and Private transfer?
A.We offer the following types of transportation:
Shuttle Transfer:
This service offers a transfer with one or more stops en route to your chosen arrival point. The transfer type could be a taxi, coach or similar and may consist of your party plus other passengers.
Standard Private Transfer:
By selecting this type of transportation you will be contracting a transfer between the airport and your chosen accommodation for your party only. As soon as you have met
your driver you will depart for your destination. No waiting for other parties and no additional stops.
Q. Is it safe to use my credit card over the Internet?
A.Using your credit card to make purchases via our web site is a secure way to pay for your bookings- as safe as booking through our telephone reservations centre.

Q.My card keeps getting rejected. Why?
A.There may be a number of reasons why your card has not been accepted. These include:
# You may simply have entered an invalid card number. The most likely reasons for this are that you have mistyped the card number or missed some of the digits, or you have not entered the card number we need. Please try again, checking your typing carefully
# The card type you have specified (e.g. Mastercard, Visa) does not appear to match the card number supplied. Please go back and check that the card type selected is correct
# Your bank has declined to authorise payment for this amount
# Your card may be of the type that requires the cardholder to be present,and is therefore not suitable for telephone/Internet bookings
If you still have problems, please contact the issuing bank of your card, as the payment is not being authorized by your bank.
