A VIP transfer is a private transfer between the airport and your address in a roomier, better-equipped vehicle. Just like a standard transfer, a driver meets you with your name, the car is yours alone and the price is fixed in advance. The difference lies in the vehicle's interior, seating comfort and the small details along the way.

Who is a VIP transfer for?

It is the most comfortable choice for families with children (strollers, many bags), business travellers (time and comfort matter), older passengers (no changes, no walking), honeymoons and special occasions and late-night arrivals. For groups of four or more, the per-vehicle price divided per person is often close to – or better than – a taxi.

Frequently asked questions

Is a VIP transfer expensive?

Because the price is per vehicle, the cost per person drops for groups. You can see the price for your route instantly on the booking page.

VIP minivans usually take 6–7 passengers with plenty of luggage. Larger groups get a minibus.
