5 Mistakes to Avoid When Booking Airport Transportation

Booking airport transportation seems simple – until something goes wrong. A missed connection, a wrong pick-up spot, or a price surprise can quickly ruin a great trip start.

To help you avoid that, here are 5 common mistakes travelers make when booking airport transfers – and how to avoid them.

❌ 1. Not Booking in Advance

Many travelers wait until landing to figure out how to get into the city. That can lead to:

No available cars (especially during holidays or peak hours)
Long queues at the taxi rank
Surge pricing

✅ Solution: Book your transfer in advance. It takes 2 minutes online and guarantees peace of mind after landing.

❌ 2. Not Providing the Flight Number

You might think it’s optional, but for private transfer companies, this detail is crucial.

Without your flight number, the driver can't track delays or terminal changes.

✅ Solution: Always include your flight number – it helps your driver be in the right place at the right time.

❌ 3. Giving an Incomplete or Wrong Address

"Main square hotel" – sounds simple, but Kraków has many. Giving vague or partial info may lead to delays or confusion.

✅ Solution: Always provide a full, accurate address, including hotel/apartment name, street, number, and postcode.

❌ 4. Forgetting Special Requirements

Traveling with kids and didn’t request a car seat? Carrying lots of luggage but didn’t ask for a bigger car?

✅ Solution: Use the "Notes" section when booking to request child seats, extra baggage space, or any other needs.

❌ 5. Not Being Available for Contact

Your driver might need to confirm details or meet-up spot. If your phone is off or out of battery – problems can arise.

✅ Solution: Keep your phone charged and accessible. Save the driver’s number (if provided) and check your messages on arrival.

✈️ Final Thoughts

Booking an airport transfer is about more than just getting from A to B – it’s about starting your trip the right way.

Avoiding these 5 simple mistakes means you can step off the plane and into a stress-free ride to your hotel, apartment, or business meeting.
