How is the price for my AUH transfer calculated?

Your price is calculated per vehicle, not per person, based on the distance between the airport and your destination postal code. We use a driver-defined fair pricing model, where our local partners set competitive, all-inclusive rates. This price includes all tolls, fees, and a reasonable waiting time after your flight lands. The amount you see on the booking form is the final, fixed price you will pay.

What happens if my flight to Abu Dhabi is delayed?

Our system automatically tracks your flight number. Your pickup time is adjusted to your actual arrival time, whether you are early or severely delayed. Your driver will be there to meet you at no extra cost. You do not need to contact us to report a standard flight delay; we already know and have rescheduled the dispatch.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes, we provide child seats for all ages (infant, child, and booster seats) upon request. It is a legal and safety requirement. You must specify the type and number of child seats you need during the booking process. This ensures we dispatch a vehicle with the correct seats properly installed. We take child safety very seriously, and there is a small surcharge for this guaranteed service.

Where exactly will I meet my driver at Abu Dhabi Airport (AUH)?

Your driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall after you exit the baggage claim area. They will be holding a sign with the lead passenger's name on it. This is our standard meet & greet procedure and ensures you can easily identify your driver without having to search outside or in a parking structure. You will also receive an SMS with the driver's contact details upon landing.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

You can cancel your booking for free up to 24 hours before the scheduled pickup time and receive a full refund. For cancellations made within 24 hours of pickup, a cancellation fee may apply. This policy allows us to manage our drivers' schedules fairly. All cancellations can be made through our website or by contacting our 24/7 customer support.

How much luggage can I bring in the vehicle?

Each vehicle type has a specified luggage capacity, shown during the booking process. A standard sedan can typically hold 2-3 large suitcases. A Mercedes Vito can hold up to 6. If you are traveling with more than one large suitcase and one carry-on per person, or have oversized items like golf bags or strollers, we strongly recommend booking a larger vehicle (like a Vito instead of a sedan) to ensure everything fits comfortably and safely.

Are your transfer prices per person or per vehicle?

All of our prices are per vehicle, not per person. The fixed price you see covers the exclusive hire of the vehicle and driver for your private group, regardless of whether you are one person or the maximum number of passengers for that vehicle type. This often makes our service more economical for families and groups compared to per-person shuttle services.

I'm arriving very late at night. Is that a problem?

No, it is not a problem at all. Our services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all public holidays. We specialize in handling flights that arrive at all hours. By pre-booking, you have the security of knowing a driver is assigned and waiting for you, avoiding the uncertainty of finding transport late at night.
