It is generally advisable to book your airport transfer on Jayride.com as soon as your travel plans are confirmed. By booking in advance, you can secure your preferred transfer company and ensure availability, especially during peak travel seasons or for popular routes.

While some transfer companies may accept last-minute bookings, availability could be limited, and you may not have as many options to choose from. To avoid any inconvenience or the risk of not finding a suitable transfer, we recommend booking at least 24 to 48 hours before your scheduled travel date.

By planning ahead and booking early, you can have peace of mind knowing that your airport transfer is taken care of, allowing you to focus on enjoying your trip.

What’s the difference between shared and private transfers?

When booking your airport transfer, you have the option of choosing either a private transfer or shared shuttle. Here are some tips to help make the right selection for you:

Shared airport transfer

Shared shuttle means you’re booking a seat on a vehicle, and will likely be sharing with others. As such, this is generally the cheaper option. Journey times will usually take longer with a shared shuttle, and pick-up times are usually determined by the transportation service.

Shared shuttles are perfect for those on a budget and who don’t mind sharing their ride with other travellers.

Private airport transfer

A private transfer is your own private vehicle, offering a faster journey and flexible pick-up times.

Travel in style in a private car. There are three main types of private transfers available on Jayride.com: Private Car, Luxury Vehicles, and Rideshare.

Some private transfer companies will offer a driver Meet and Greet service as part of the service, but be sure to double check your chosen transfer company offers this before booking

Private Car

Compared to a shared shuttle, if you’d prefer your own vehicle to go straight to where you need to be – because you’re travelling with family, in a group, or on business for example – then a private transfer might be the best option for you. Meet your driver at a pre-agreed meeting spot, plus you can pre-book children’s seats or book for extra luggage with a private transfer.

Want a Meet and Greet? Look for the green Meet and Greet icon on the transfer company’s profile. Not all private transfers offer meet and greet, so be sure to double check at the time of booking that your selected transfer company offers Meet and Greet.

Luxury Vehicle

Want to arrive in style? Choose from the many luxury transfer companies listed on Jayride.com for an extra special arrival. Whether you want a limousine or luxury car, there’s a luxe transfer option for you. Great for honeymooners, CEOs, business travellers or any special occasion.

Rideshare

We work with a number of different rideshare and taxi organisations, such as Uber & Lyft. These are generally our most affordable private transfer options.

Can I book baby seats/oversized or extra luggage/disabled access?

You can book baby seats, extra luggage, and any other items by requesting these on your booking form in the extras fields. Please be aware that extra items and other requirements may incur additional fees from your transfer company. They will try their best to accommodate you, but if you need further help do contact Jayride.com’s Customer Support team.

For disabled access, only some of our transfer companies are equipped to provide disabled access with their vehicles. At this time, our website does not support booking for disabled access. Before booking, please contact Jayride.com’s Customer Support team and let our team know that you require disabled access for your transfer.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Please contact your transfer company as soon as you can to let them know you are delayed. You will find their contact details on your Jayride.com booking confirmation.

If your flight is delayed, you’ll need to contact your transfer company and let them know so they can adjust your pickup time accordingly.

How do I contact my driver?

Once your booking is complete, you’ll receive an email with the contact number of your transfer company so you can organise a pick-up time and location.

Can I make changes to my booking?

If you need to change your contact details or the time and date (for instance if your flight time changes) of your booking, then contact us using our online form with your booking ID and desired changes, and we can update your booking for you.

If you need to make any changes to your booking that alter the price (for example, changing location or the number of people travelling), then you will need to cancel your original booking and create a new one.
