Whether it is for business of leisure, travelling is exciting. From creating an itinerary to researching the destination, a lot of planning goes into ensuring your experience is a stress-free as possible. However, little thought is given to transportation until it is needed, making an already busy trip, all the more challenging.
Airport transfers are the primary means of travel to and from the airport, and with a myriad of options it can be difficult to determine what transportation service is best for you. Choosing the right airport transfer service sets the tone for your trip and is a great way to save time, money and stress.
Public Transport
Buses and trains are all considered public transfers. The biggest advantage offered by public transportation is that it is an affordable form of airport transfer.
However, this is a mode of transport that cannot be pre-booked as they run on their own schedule and travel on their own route, making multiple stops along the way. This means that travellers will not be directly take to their destination and may have to travel (by foot or car) the rest of the way.
Shared Shuttles
Many airports and transfer services offer shared shuttle transfers that can be booked by multiple parties. These transportation services operate on a regular schedule, meaning that you will have to wait for your transfer at the airport.
Depending the transfer you have booked, some shared shuttle services offer door-to-door drop off where others will stop at a central destination, after which will require more travel to get to your destination.
Hotel Shuttles
Depending on your accommodation, many hotels offer their own free shuttle service between their property and the airport.
Much like public and shared shuttles, they operate on a regular schedule. However, not all hotel shuttles operate 24 hours a day. If you are looking for an affordable (free!) airport transfer and are travelling during the day, a hotel shuttle may be your solution.
Private Airport Shuttles
In contrast to public and hotel shuttles, private airport transfers are a pre-booked service where you do not share a vehicle with strangers. Travellers are typically met by the driver, where they will assist with the luggage to and from the vehicle.
The biggest benefit for booking a private transfer is convenience. It eliminates the stress of having to find a taxi or carry heavy luggage onto public transportation. Travellers will never have to wait for their driver, as many services will monitor flight times and adjust their services according to landing times and delays.
While private transfers are initially more expensive, the number of features and amenities they offer are unlike those offered by shared and public transfers. Having pre-booked your transportation, the driver knows where you need to go with out asking, and will travel directly to your destination safely, and without additional stops.
