It is your responsibility to notify us as soon as you have the information should there be any changes in your travel plans that would modify the transfer arrangements as they are written in the voucher.

The times to be stated on your booking and your voucher are flight times! We will calculate and provide you with the departure pick-up time upon arrival; usually 2,5 hours before an international flight and 2 hours prior to the domestic flights. Changes can still be made upon arrival, if you have booked a private- or limousine-transfer.

Our cancellation policies are just a guideline since we review each case on its merits.

Changes in your booking within 24 hours are free of charge.

Delays or cancellation of your flight:

We should be notified of any airplane delays, cancelled flights or any unforeseen circumstances that might cause a delay in your scheduled arrival time, as soon as you have the information by calling (not e-mailing!) our representative to the telephone number written in your voucher.

Please, note, that our driver might already be waiting for you at the airport for the originally booked flight and we might have to charge this expense, if you do not notify us prior to the arrival-time stated on your voucher.

Should you fail to inform the representative this will be considered by us as a no show on your part.

For the departures from your holiday accommodation you will receive the pick-up time upon arrival. Should the driver not be there in time, please call immediately our mobile phone stated on the voucher.

We might be late due to traffic conditions and like this we can give you a direct feedback as we might not be able to reach you through the hotel reception or when you are at a private accommodation.

To cancel your reservation we must receive this information in writing either by e-mail or by fax at least 48 hours before your pick up time as is written in your voucher. If your cancellation is done within the 48 hours of the pick-up time or there is a no show we will charge you the amount of the transfer.

Our service:

We operate a complete non-smoking policy in all vehicles used.

Infants and child seats:

Every infant counts as a person and a child seat has to be used until the size of 1,50m. We strongly recommend parents to take their own child seats to ensure adequate safety in the vehicles taken throughout the holidays.

We can provide a child seat upon prior demand with an extra charge of EUR 05,- for the handling. In this case we need to be informed of the age of the infant or baby to provide 1 of the 3 available sizes.

Door-to-door service:

Whilst we endeavor to operate a door-to-door service with our transfers, on some occasions this may not be possible due to the vehicle’s size, when a shuttle transfer has been booked. However we will always ensure you are taken to the nearest drop off point.
