If you need a transfer from an airport or a railway station, we recommend you to specify your flight arrival time as the beginning of your transfer. In this case, it is more convenient for a driver to organize the meeting.

We recommend you to have a time margin of 3 hours for the airport check-in and travel time. Approximate time a driver needs to arrive at the airport is specified on the booking page.

For example, if your flight departure time is 14:00 and the travel time specified on site is 1 hour, the pick-up time should be 10:00.
