What your airport pickup actually looks like
Your driver tracks your flight in real time. When you land and switch on your phone, you see their name, photo, vehicle, and license plate in the app. They are already waiting in arrivals with a name sign—and they have been there since your plane touched down.
No scrambling for a taxi rank. No surge pricing because three flights landed at once. No trying to explain your hotel address to a driver who does not speak your language.
Walk out of arrivals, spot your name, hand over your bags, and sit down. Your transfer price was fixed when you booked—no meter, no tolls added, no surprises.
Private transfer vs. airport taxi vs. ride-hailing vs. public transport
| Factor | Pre-booked transfer | Airport taxi | Ride-hailing | Public transport |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price certainty | Fixed at booking | Metered | Surge possible | Fixed fare |
| Wait time | 0 min (driver waiting) | 5–45 min queue | 5–20 min | Per schedule |
| Flight delay covered | Yes (free waiting) | No | No | No |
| Door-to-door | Yes | Yes | Yes | Rarely |
| Luggage handling | Driver assists | Usually none | Usually none | Self-service |
| Vehicle choice | You choose class | Random | Random | N/A |
| Child seats | On request | Rarely | Rarely | No |
| Meet & greet | Name sign at arrivals | Taxi rank only | Curb pickup | N/A |
Pre-booked transfers combine the convenience of a taxi with the price certainty of public transport. For families, child seats and luggage assistance make all the difference. For groups, a single minivan booking is cheaper per person than separate taxis.

What our customers say
Driver was already outside arrivals when we landed in Geneva - he'd tracked the flight and knew we'd come through early. Three sets of skis loaded and we were on the road to Chamonix before most passengers had cleared customs.
Thomas B. — London, UK Good experience. Chose from three offers for Munich Airport to Kitzbühel, picked the one with the best rating. Straightforward.
Marta R. — Munich, Germany Four of us split the cost from Zurich Airport to St. Anton and came out cheaper than the shared shuttle per person - plus we went straight to the chalet door instead of stopping at every hotel in the valley. Hadn't expected it to work out that way but it did.
Olivier D. — Lyon, France Travelled with two small kids and a lot of luggage from Rome Fiumicino. I mentioned the stroller in the booking notes and the driver showed up with a large estate. No fuss.
Sarah K. — Dublin, Ireland Eight people, Geneva to Verbier, all ski gear. One minibus, one price, door to chalet. We paid less per person than the shuttle and didn't have to share with anyone else.
Pieter V. — Amsterdam, Netherlands I book private transfers for work fairly regularly across different platforms. What TransferBnB does differently is that you get the driver's name, direct number, vehicle, and plate before you travel - not just a confirmation number. For business trips where timing matters, that's the part that actually counts.

How much does a private airport transfer cost in Europe?
Private airport transfers in Europe typically cost between EUR 35 and EUR 150 depending on distance, vehicle class, and location. A 30-minute transfer from a major airport to the city center starts at around EUR 35–55 for a sedan. On TransferBnB, multiple carriers quote on your route, so you see the real market price and choose the best offer.
How far in advance should I book an airport transfer?
Book at least 24–48 hours before your flight for the best selection of carriers and prices. For peak travel periods like Christmas, school holidays, or summer weekends, book 1–2 weeks ahead. Last-minute bookings are possible but may have fewer carrier options and slightly higher prices.
What happens if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
Your TransferBnB driver monitors your flight in real time. If your flight is delayed, your driver adjusts their arrival time automatically—no need to contact anyone. They wait up to 60 minutes after landing at no extra charge. If your flight is cancelled, you can cancel or reschedule for free.
How do I find my driver at the airport?
After your flight lands, check the TransferBnB app or your booking confirmation for your driver's name, photo, vehicle details, and live location. Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a name sign. If you cannot find them, use contact options in the app to call or message directly.
Can I book an airport transfer with a child seat?
Yes. When booking on TransferBnB, select the number of child seats you need (infant, toddler, or booster). Carriers who can provide the right seats will include them in their offers. Child seats are typically free or cost a small supplement of EUR 5–10 per seat.
What is the difference between a private transfer and an airport taxi?
A private airport transfer is pre-booked with a fixed price, confirmed driver, and guaranteed vehicle. An airport taxi is hailed on arrival with a metered fare that varies by traffic and route. Private transfers include flight monitoring, free waiting time, and meet-and-greet service—airport taxis do not.
Is it cheaper to pre-book a transfer or take a taxi at the airport?
Pre-booked transfers are often comparable to or cheaper than airport taxis, especially on TransferBnB where carriers compete on price. You also avoid metered fare risks—airport taxi meters can add EUR 10–30+ in heavy traffic. For groups of 3 or more, a pre-booked minivan is almost always cheaper per person than separate taxis.
How does TransferBnB's marketplace model work?
When you enter your route on TransferBnB, verified carriers in your area see your request and send their best offers. You compare prices, vehicle photos, driver ratings, and reviews side by side—then choose the carrier you prefer. This competition between carriers means you get real market prices, not a single company's markup.
