What are my options for transfers?
Choose a no-frills, low-cost shared shuttle or treat yourself to a private car to whiz you off straight from the terminal exit to your hotel doorstep. You can even opt for ultimate convenience and luxury and be met at the terminal with a limousine! Whatever your preference, we have it. The main types of airport transfers we offer are:
Shared shuttle
You'll be met at a designated area, which will be given to you on your booking confirmation. You'll be sharing the transfer with other passengers, so you'll need to wait for everyone to arrive before you set off. There'll be a few other stops on the way, but no more than eight.
This is usually our most budget-friendly option and ideal if you have plenty of time.
Private car
You'll be met at a designated area, which will be given to you on your booking confirmation. It's a private transfer, so you won't have any other stops on the journey except yours.
This is our recommended option to get you from A to B as quickly as possible. You can also upgrade to a private minibus or coach if you're a big group, or to an executive or luxury car, to start your trip off in style. In some locations we even offer private water taxis with premium options available for a scenic start to your trip.
Private transfers can also be wheelchair adapted - keep a look out for this option when you're booking.

When will my pick-up time be confirmed?
If you've booked a private transfer your pick-up time will be on your booking confirmation. If you've booked a shared shuttle your pick-up time will be sent by text 24 hours before you're due to travel. Make sure you give us the correct mobile number when you book.
If you haven't received a text you can check your pick-up time by calling the number on your booking confirmation.It depends on the transfer. When you're searching for airport transfers, look for more info and we'll let you know how much is included.
Can I book a one-way transfer?
Sure! Just select 'not returning' when you search.
Do transfers include a luggage allowance?
It depends on the transfer. When you're searching for airport transfers, look for more info and we'll let you know how much is included.
Are child seats available?
Car seats are available on selected private airport transfers. Once you've done a search you will be able to see which transfer options can offer a car seat as it will have the label "Car Seats Available" beneath. You can add one to your booking on the next page, just pick the seat that fits your child's age and size and the driver will make sure it's in the vehicle for you.
What if I need to go back and make a change?
You can, with Flextras. Flextras gives you maximum flexibility, so that if your plans have to change, you don't have to worry.
What does Flextras Freedom mean?
We've been working hard to ensure that if you buy your holiday extras from Holiday Extras, you'll be getting the most flexible terms anywhere. The most flexible extras. Anywhere. Bar none.
We understand that no one wants to book a travel product they can't easily cancel if their holiday plans change. That's why if you book with us, you can be sure that if anything should happen, no matter what the reason, it will always be easy and free to cancel your booking with us and rebook for another date.
Fully Flexible / Free Cancellation
On these products you can cancel up to 11:59pm the day before you travel with Parking, Hotel, Lounge and Fast Track products including Parking & Hotel packages.
You'll be issued a voucher for the full value of the booking so you can re-book any holiday extra (from hotel to parking, from car hire to fast track security and airport transfers) when your plans have been rearranged- vouchers will be valid for 18 months. If you'd like a cash refund, we can organise one for you within 14 days of the voucher being issued.
Shuttle transfer bookings can only be amended up to 48 hours of your journey time and private transfer amendments within 48 hours will be subject to the discretion of the supplier and additional charges may apply.
Saver
Our Saver option is a great choice if you're on a budget. You can still cancel free up to 3 days before your booked arrival time and you'll still get a voucher for the full amount. The only difference here, and the reason you'll save some money, is that you can't get a cash refund and the voucher must be used to rebook the same product when you rearrange your trip.
Supersaver
Products that are labelled "Supersaver" (sometimes "can't cancel or amend" or "non-flexible") cannot be cancelled or amended for a voucher nor cash refund.
