I booked an airport pick-up. Where will my chauffeur be?
There are two options available to you: a Curbside Pick-up as our standard service and a Meet & Greet service as an upgrade.
- Curbside Pick-up:
- Your chauffeur will track your flight so he’ll know exactly when your plane has landed.
- Your chauffeur will have your phone number (make sure you provide us with the right #) and send you a text to introduce himself as soon as you land.
- When you reclaim your luggage, get to the curb to see the Zone you are in. Then send a text to your driver with that letter (e.g. Terminal C).
- Your private car driver will come to pick you up at the curb in just 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meet & Greet:
- Your private car driver will be waiting for you at a designated baggage claim area at the airport displaying a professionally made sign with your name on it.
- Your driver will help you with your luggage and accompany you to the vehicle outside.
- This is an upgrade service, available for you upon request.
- If you do not possess a cell or domestic phone, we will automatically upgrade you and charge you with this service to make certain that you will be provided with our service in a timely manner.
- A Meet & Greet service is ideal for anyone who needs a hand with the baggage, including VIP clients and senior citizens.
Should I include extra time when booking an airport pick-up service since I need to collect my baggage?
- Adding time to your pick-up time is not required. When booking your reservation, enter the precise arrival time.
- We will bear in mind the time you need to reclaim your luggage.
- We do not charge extra for waiting for you to collect your baggage.
- If you’re traveling on an international flight, we will wait for you for 60 minutes after your plane lands at no extra cost, and if you’re on a domestic flight the grace period is 30 min. If you need more time, you can easily adjust the pick-up time and the grace period will start from that point.
How can I be certain if my driver will pick me up right on time?
- Have peace of mind knowing that your chauffeur will not only be punctual but come pick you up 5-10 minutes prior to your arrival.
- Rest assured your driver will send you a text before you land. You will be aware of their location, as well as their arrival.
- You can expect a message from your chauffeur 15 to 45 minutes prior to the scheduled pick-up time.

- If you have booked an airport pick-up service, the chauffeur will contact you as soon as your flight lands.
Do you charge extra in case my flight gets delayed? Will you monitor my flight?
