We will wait for you up to 60 mins after your scheduled arrival time, after this time we charge 35€ per hour to cover parking and driver costs.

If the delay is longer than the 60 mins we may have to re-schedule you to our next available transfer or sub-contract the booking to another carefully selected transfer company if available. Additional cost’s will then be incurred by the client.

If your flight lands early or late to the scheduled time then our normal waiting rules do not apply.

We request that you keep us informed by telephone of any delays in collecting luggage, or of lost luggage, which may cause a delay to your booked transfer.
