Shuttle Transfers are shared with other travellers who may be staying in different resorts and / or hotels. The driver will plan the route and the order of drop-offs required. The transfer will operate on a pre-arranged schedule from the airport, and the maximum wait time at the airport on arrival will be one hour. The type of vehicle used will depend on fleet requirements and passenger numbers, so it could be taxi, minibus or coach. Your departure pick up time will be re-confirmed during your stay, details will be shown on your Booking Confirmation.
NOTE - Shuttles can only be booked to recognised hotels and apartments and cannot be booked for remote accommodation such as private villas etc located away from the main resort areas. Shuttles cannot be booked for Florida villas.
Private Transfers are your own private vehicle (taxi/minibus) for your party size as selected. You will be transported directly to your chosen accommodation by your designated driver, and collected on your return journey as booked.
Once you have selected the type of transfer you require and made the booking, you will receive an emailed Booking Confirmation which contains all the information you need. Emergency contact telephone numbers, details of your transfer supplier, including office opening hours; arrival & departure instructions and your flight and accommodation details. Your supplier will have all the information they need as well.
The transfer you have chosen for the number of people in your party, whether it is a private or a shuttle transfer; a return journey or just one way, (which can be an arrival or departure journey); meet and greet service at the arrival airport by your supplier’s representative and/or driver; the services of a local agency in resort who can offer advice and information eg. In the case of flight delays, diversions and cancellations.

If you are carrying any excess luggage such as more than 1 bag per person (approx 70cm x 40cm x 20cm), pushchairs, surf boards, golf clubs, bicycles, but not limited to, or other oversized items, you will need to inform us when booking to ensure our suppliers can provide the correct vehicle. Should you fail to notify us, you will be liable for any additional costs incurred.
All infants (0-2yrs) and children (3-11yrs) should be included in the number of passengers travelling. Laws regarding child seats vary from country to country and we recommend all children have a booster or child seat. On shuttles, infants travel free of charge, can sit on an adult’s lap (as long as they are not in the front seat of a vehicle), and children should have a booster or child seat. Some resorts offer child reductions, (see website). On private transfers all passengers should have their own seat (ie- seat belt position within the vehicle) including infants and children. Please refer to our safety policy.
If one or more members of your party require a wheelchair, please provide details at the time of booking. We will need to know if the wheelchair is collapsible, the approximate weight & dimensions, and if the passenger can temporarily get out of the chair and into a vehicle. Acting reasonably, if we are unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm your booking or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking when we become aware of these details we will ask the applicable supplier to cancel it and they may impose applicable cancellation charges.
The journey times shown on the website are approximate and can vary depending on traffic conditions, rush hours and road works. Shuttle transfers can take longer due to the number of drop-offs and only an estimated guideline for journey times is displayed on our website. We accept no responsibility for variance in journey times.
