Airport To Resort Transfers |
+ |
What is the difference between a Shared & Private transfer? |
|
Shared Transfer – sold by the seat. This is based on sharing with other passengers; there may be stops en-route to other resorts and a wait of up to 1 hour at the airport for other flights. This is a door-to-door service, unless booked within 3 days of the date of travel or unless otherwise stated. Shared options to ski resorts are only available from Mid Dec until Mid April; exceptions may apply.
Private Transfer – sold by the vehicle. This is a private vehicle, door-to-door transfer booked for your party only. Your driver will be waiting, displaying your name on a signboard, on arrival at the airport and take you directly to your vehicle. |
+ |
How is a scheduled shared transfer different? |
|
This service that operates on scheduled routes at scheduled times. This means the cost of the booking will be very affordable for small bookings of 1-3 passengers but will not offer the benefits of door-to-door private & shared transfers. Transfers leave at precise times and do not wait; there may be stops en-route to other resorts and even changes en-route. For all shuttle and shared transfers pick-up times are subject to change, therefore please call us 24 hours before each transfer to reconfirm your pick-up time, on: 0033 450 377 127. |
+ |
Are Saturday and holiday period transfers different from weekday transfers? |
|
Yes, due to the fact the majority of 'changeover' days being Saturday, airports and roads tend to be busier than normal. Therefore transfer times may take longer than 'normal'. You will be notified by email or telephone if your return pick-up time needs to be brought forward. Please note that if you are travelling between 9am and 2pm, or if there is bad weather we may re-schedule to collect you earlier, if need be. |
+ |
Is my pick-up time likely to change? |
|
You will be notified by email or telephone if your return pick-up time needs to be brought forward. Please note that if you are travelling between 9am and 2pm on a Saturday or peak holiday day, or if there is bad weather, we may re-schedule to collect you earlier, if need be. |
+ |
What if I want to change my return pick-up time? |
|
Always communicate directly with TI any changes required. If you make alternative arrangements separately with your driver and do not inform TI of your transfer changes, then TI cannot be held responsible for any misunderstandings that may occur. |
