Travel smarter
Getting the most from your transfer
Book before you fly
Booking in advance locks in the price, guarantees your vehicle type and means one less thing to sort on a busy travel day. Availability is best when you book early.
Enter your flight number
Always include your flight number when booking. This allows your driver to track your arrival in real time and adjust for any delays - at no extra cost to you.
Be accurate about luggage
Select the correct number of bags when booking so the right size vehicle is assigned. Arriving with more luggage than declared can cause problems - especially with smaller cars.
Save the driver's number
You will receive your driver's contact details before your trip. Save the number before you fly so you can reach them quickly if you have any trouble locating them in arrivals.
Allow time for customs and baggage
Your driver will wait, but be realistic about how long you need after landing. Long-haul flights with checked luggage can take 45–60 minutes from landing to arrivals.
Compare with taxis for your route
For longer routes - Heathrow to central London, CDG to Paris, Narita to Tokyo - a fixed-price transfer is often price-competitive with metered taxis and far less stressful.

Fixed, transparent pricing
Every booking shows the full price upfront - no meters running, no surge pricing, no extras at the end of the journey. What you see is what you pay.
Real-time flight tracking
Drivers monitor your flight automatically. If you land early or late, your driver adjusts accordingly - you never pay extra for a delay.

You book your vehicle in advance, agree on a fixed price, and arrive at your destination to find a driver waiting with your name on a board - ready to take you directly where you need to go. It is a simple idea, executed extremely well across more than 100 countries.

Frequently asked questions
What is an airport transfer?+
An airport transfer is a pre-booked private vehicle that takes you from the airport directly to your hotel, home or other destination - or vice versa. Unlike taxis or rideshares, the price is fixed in advance, your driver is waiting when you land, and the vehicle is exclusively yours for the journey.
What happens if my flight is delayed?+
GetTransfer drivers monitor your flight in real time. If your flight is delayed, your driver will adjust their arrival time accordingly - you will not be charged extra and you will not need to contact anyone. Simply walk out of arrivals and your driver will be there.
How do I find my driver at the airport?+
Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a name board displaying your name or your booking reference. You will also receive the driver's contact details in advance so you can reach them directly if needed.
Can I book a transfer for a large group?+
Yes. GetTransfer offers a wide range of vehicle sizes from standard saloons to minivans and coaches. When booking, select the number of passengers and luggage and the system will show you suitable vehicle options. Group transfers often work out cheaper per head than multiple individual taxis.
How far in advance do I need to book?+
You can book a transfer at any point before your departure, from months ahead to a few hours before your flight. That said, booking in advance guarantees your vehicle type and gives you one less thing to think about on travel day.
Is the price really fixed?+
Yes. The price you see when you book is the price you pay - there are no meters, no surge pricing and no unexpected extras at the end of the journey. Tolls and parking fees, if applicable, are typically included in the quoted price.
What vehicle types are available?+
GetTransfer offers a wide range of vehicles including standard saloons, estate cars, MPVs, minivans for groups of up to 16, executive and luxury cars, and larger coaches for bigger groups. You can filter by vehicle type, passenger capacity and luggage allowance when booking.
Can I book a return transfer at the same time?+
Yes - you can book both legs of your journey (outbound and return airport transfers) in the same booking, which is often more convenient and can be better value.
Is GetTransfer available worldwide?+
GetTransfer operates in over 100 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Coverage is strongest in major tourist destinations and gateway airports, with thousands of local drivers and operators on the platform.
What if I need to cancel my transfer?+
Cancellation policies vary by booking, but most GetTransfer bookings offer free cancellation up to a certain point before your pickup time. Full details are shown at the time of booking before you confirm your purchase.
