Booking an Airport Transfer from Petersfield: Questions to Ask Before You Confirm

An airport transfer is easy to book and easy to get wrong when a detail is missing. This checklist works with any private hire firm. Local firms such as TwentyFour7Cars, a Sponsored Business Club member that lists airport transfers, are one option; compare before you choose.

What to tell the firm

• Your exact pick-up address and postcode in or around Petersfield
• Which airport and which terminal
• Date, and the time you need to arrive or the time you land
• Flight number if the firm asks for it
• Number of passengers, including children, and how many bags
• Any large or unusual items, such as golf clubs, pushchairs or sports kit

What to ask about the quote

• Is the price for the whole journey or per passenger?
• Does it include waiting time, parking or drop-off charges, and luggage?
• Is the price fixed once confirmed, or can it change?
• What are the terms if you need to change or cancel?

What to confirm before the day

• A written confirmation with pick-up time, address, destination and price
• A contact number for the day, and who to call if the driver cannot find you
• How the driver will find you at arrival, if it is a return trip
• Whether the vehicle can take your party and bags together

Plan around the journey

Allow your own margin for traffic and airport check-in; ask the firm what pick-up time they recommend rather than assuming one. Return journeys need the same details again.
