Book a holiday taxi early for best fare rates
Organising a holiday taxi transfer is often one of those tasks left to the last minute and it is always advisable in a post-COVID world to really book this as early as possible owing to a global lack of drivers. In other words, travellers in 2022/23 really need to consider booking their transfers to and from the airport at the point at which they book their flights or holiday. More often than not, by booking well in advance you’ll bag the best rates and avoid unnecessary surge charges for most last minute bookings as well.
Always book the right size of taxi vehicle for your needs
Travellers often underestimate the size of their luggage and belongings when booking a taxi transfer to the airport. Give special consideration to this when booking and if you are in doubt, please speak with the operator when pre-booking who will potentially give you advice. Alternatively, take special note of the vehicle option descriptions when booking online and always keep to their advice. Worst case is that the wrong vehicle is dispatched to take you to the airport, leading to potential delays and more cost.
Book a return taxi journey from the outset
With most providers, there is often a discount or other incentive to book a “round trip” when booking a holiday taxi. This might save you a further 5% on your booking and so is well worth doing. You’ll also be able to test out the service going to the airport and in some instances you even get the benefit of the same driver for the return leg too!
Holiday taxi meet and greet services
Always insist on being met in the terminal with a nameboard – it is the safest and most convenient way to be met off your flight too. In recent years in the UK, airport drop off and pick up charges have increased but we would still recommend that this premium be paid to minimise you stress and inconvenience when you cannot find your driver in the airport drop off zone. This is not a safe place to be met by any driver and is particularly dangerous if you are travelling with children or the elderly.
