Additional Information
How do we meet our driver? 1. Airport After collecting your luggage and clearing customs, if necessary, you will be directed to the public lounge. There, you will see many people waiting for the passengers, some of them holding up signs with names on them. Your driver will be there holding a sign with your name or whatever else you chose to be on it. Please make sure that you have my phone number with you and let me know immediately if you think something is not in order, for example, an especially long wait for your luggage or even missing luggage. The driver will wait for you until 90 minutes after your plane lands. If, for some reason, you miss your flight or your flight is cancelled or scheduled for a long delay, please contact me and let me know your new flight details. This way, you will avoid being charged. 2. Cruise terminals There are two different terminals for cruise ships, Terminal A and Terminal B. Please exit from the gate where your cruise ship has docked. You will meet our driver in the public area just outside the gate after clearing with customs (if necessary). The driver will be holding a sign with your name on it. Please take special care to verify with the driver that he is from our group. Sometimes, when a surname is common, visitors get mixed up and follow a different driver! Again, make sure that you have my phone number with you, and let me know immediately if you think something is not in order. 3. Hotels Picking you up from a hotel is usually much easier than from anywhere else. We usually park the car in front of the hotel and meet there. Most of the time, doormen know us and can direct you to us too. However, some hotels don’t have sufficient parking space at their main entrance, and in case the driver does not find you in front of the hotel, he will make a small circle and come back again. This only takes a few minutes. Rest assured that he will be there for you. 4. Ferries When disembarking from the ferry, there is usually great commotion. People and cars disembark at the same time. For safety reasons, port authorities do not allow people waiting to approach very close. Your driver will be waiting for you with a sign with your name at the nearest possible spot. Please take a look around as soon as you get off the ferry.
