  • Whilst we endeavour to operate a door-to-door service with our transfers, on some occasions this may not be possible where a shuttle (shared) transfer has been booked. Where it is not physically possible for us to access certain hotels & apartments, due to their location i.e. Old Town, Beachfront & local festivities, we will always ensure you are taken to the nearest drop off point.

  • FAQ 16 How much luggage can our clients take?
  • Most taxis are able to accommodate a suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per person. (Up to 4 passengers per taxi, children and babies count - except in certain destinations where the maximum is 3 passengers).

    If you are travelling with excess luggage for example pushchairs, wheelchairs, golf clubs, skis or any other out of the ordinary items, it is imperative we are made aware as extra charges maybe applicable. Failure to do so will result in additional charges incurred by the passengers locally.

  • FAQ 17 Do infants count as passengers?
  • Most resort taxis can carry up to 4 passengers.
    For private transfers infants and children do count as one person.
    On shuttle transfers there will be no charge for children under 3 years of age (providing they sit on an adults lap, and do not occupy the front seats of the vehicle). Children aged three and over will occupy a seat and therefore will be charged for that seat.
    Laws are different in many countries relating to the use of child seats, for infants and children we strongly recommend parents take their own child seats to ensure adequate safety in foreign countries and to comply with local legislation.
    As with car rental policy it is also the parents responsibility to fit the seat.
    Most airlines do not charge for the carriage of child seats and pushchairs. We do not always have the facility locally to provide infant or child seats in our vehicles
