You may be able to find and reserve cheaper prices and fares from other companies and App based companies, however, they do not guarantee that you will be picked up and therefore can lead to disappointment at the last minute when the driver does not arrive.

For Airport pickups, your driver will be waiting nearby the airport in the appropriate waiting area the driver finds. Once contact is established with a driver the driver will proceed to the pickup point. Most airports have designated pickup points and are sign posted at all airports.
We highly recommend that once you have landed, please turn your phone on and let the driver know an estimated time it could take you before you are ready to be collected.
You will receive a text message from the driver with his Name, mobile number, Car Make, Model, and Registration Plate. In most cases you will receive this information via email, please make sure you check your spam folder.
