Please read these frequently asked questions before you book.
1. What happens when I make a reservation?
Once you complete your booking, the details of the booking are sent electronically to our resort representatives who will make the appropriate arrangements as per your request.
2. What does the price include?
A one-way price will include a single journey, either from your arrival airport, to your accommodation or from your accommodation to your departure airport. A return booking includes both the arrival and departure transfer from airport to accommodation upon arrival and from accommodation to airport on departure. Unless stated otherwise, individual taxis will accommodate up to four passengers. All petrol costs and any road toll charges are included in the price.
3. Do infants count?
Most resort taxis can carry up to 4 passengers as stated above. For private transfers infants and children do count as one person. On shuttle transfers there will be no charge for children under 3 years of age (providing they sit on an adults lap, and do not occupy the front seats of the vehicle). Children aged three and over will occupy a seat and therefore will be charged for a seat. Laws are different in many countries relating to the use of child seats for infants and children. We strongly recommend parents take their own child seats to ensure adequate safety in foreign countries and to comply with local legislation. As with car rental policy it is also the parent's responsibility to fit the seat. Most airlines do not charge for the carriage of child seats and pushchairs. We do not always have the facility locally to provide infant or child seats in our vehicles.
4. How do I collect my transfer upon arrival?
Details of how to collect your transfer upon arrival differ in each resort. Individual instructions will appear on your booking confirmation, which is generated automatically and is emailed to you once you complete your booking. If for any reason you cannot find your vehicle upon arrival, then call the number listed on your booking confirmation, where our local representatives will be more than happy to assist you.
5. And on Departure?
The booking procedure will automatically calculate your collection time for your departure flight as the journey time plus 2 hours check in time. You have the option to override this and your return taxi will then collect you from your hotel/apartment at the time you have requested. We recommend that you arrive at the airport a minimum of 90 minutes before departure time. We accept no responsibility for missed flights due to clients not booking the taxi with enough time to spare. In the event of any flight changes, we insist that you reconfirm your return taxi with our local representative, 48 hours before departure. Individual resort contact details will be printed on your booking confirmation.
6. Transfer times?
The times quoted are the standard journey times on a normal day. These times may alter slightly in high season when there is more traffic or road works affect the direct route of the journey. You will be notified if there is any anticipated delay to your journey.
7. What happens if my outbound flight is delayed?
Your taxi driver will be informed and collect you at the new time.
8. What if my outbound flight is cancelled?
If your outbound flight is cancelled please call the emergency number for the local overseas office, which you can find on your booking confirmation. By advising them of the flight cancellation and any new details of your arrival, they will be able to reschedule your transfer. Please note extra costs may apply should the new arrival time attract night rate charges or there has been an airport change.
9. What if I'm travelling with a Wheelchair?
If you are travelling with a wheelchair collapsible or non-collapsible please email us via the Contact Us page prior to booking to ensure the appropriate vehicle can be provided.
10. How much luggage can I take?
Most taxis are able to accommodate a suitcase and piece of hand luggage per person. (Up to 4 passengers per taxi, children and babies count - except in certain destinations where the maximum is 3 passengers - select your required resort for full details of taxi & minibus capacity). If you are travelling with excess luggage for example pushchairs, wheelchairs, golf clubs, skis or any other out of the ordinary items, it is imperative we are made aware as extra charges may be applicable. Failure to do so will result in additional charges incurred by the passengers locally. To do so please email us via the Contact Us page.
11. Do I need to tip the driver?
The price paid does not include a tip. As is standard across the globe these days if you feel your resort taxi driver has been friendly and courteous, then a small tip is the norm.
12. What happens if my holiday details change prior to departure?
If your details change prior to departure simply contact Holiday Taxis, the company that fulfils your booking, on 01444 257041 or by email at admin@holidaytaxis.com and your details will be amended accordingly. You will be responsible for any increase in the transfer price if the new resort/hotel is further away from the airport.

17. What is your policy on drunken/abusive behaviour?
We reserve the right to refuse to carry any person who is thought to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs and/or whose behaviour is considered to be abusive and could pose a threat to the driver, the vehicle or the other passenger(s).
18. Will my shuttle transfer take me straight to my hotel entrance?
Whilst we endeavour to operate a door-to-door service with our transfers, on some occasions this may not be possible where a shuttle transfer has been booked. Where it is not physically possible for us to access certain hotels & apartments, due to their location i.e. Old Town, Beachfront & local festivities, we will always ensure you are taken to the nearest drop off point. We will not be responsible for payment of local taxis. Shuttle Transfers do not operate to private homes or timeshare apartments.
19. What is your smoking policy?
We operate a complete non smoking policy in all vehicles used.
20. What is included in the Premier Taxi service?
If you want more than a standard taxi you can upgrade your vehicle by booking our Premier Service at relatively little extra cost. Through upgrading you'll benefit from a more spacious vehicle to provide absolute comfort for your transfer and you'll receive a bottle of water on arrival. You will be met by your own personal driver on arrival and escorted to your waiting vehicle for a fast and efficient transfer.
21. Is a shuttle transfer a minibus or a coach?
Our shuttles are usually a minibus type vehicle which is shared with a number of other passengers, rather than a coach. However, this is dependent on the type of vehicle that is available at the time as well as the volume of passengers that have booked onto the same transfer.
