Choose the right ride

The best option depends on local regulation, pickup rules, traffic, accessibility, luggage and time of day.

01

Official taxi

Best for managed ranks, permitted street hails and journeys where a regulated meter or local fare structure is useful.

02

Booking app

Best for a recorded booking, price estimate and cashless payment. Always match the plate, vehicle and driver before boarding.

03

Pre-booked transfer

Best for groups, accessibility needs, late arrivals or meet-and-greet service. Check waiting-time and cancellation terms.

05 — Safety

What to do when the plan changes

A short routine helps prevent most avoidable pickup, pricing and identity problems.

  1. 01Match the plate and vehicle.
  2. 02Use the official rank or pickup zone.
  3. 03Confirm the meter or quoted price.
  4. 04Share your trip when appropriate.
  5. 05Keep the receipt or booking record.

07 — Plan your arrival

Plan the whole journey to the door

Save your airport code, terminal and full accommodation address. Keep pickup instructions and a way to contact the driver that does not depend solely on terminal Wi-Fi.

Compare the cost for your whole group, connections and timetables. Before confirming, check luggage capacity, accessibility, flight-delay waiting, cancellation terms and payment.
