Is an airport taxi the best way of getting to an airport?
There are lots of things to think about when preparing for a holiday or a business trip, and getting to the airport is pretty fundamental.
Get a train to the airport
Some people can get trains, as they live in a place with good connections, but it’s often cumbersome, especially if you have lots of luggage. Not all airports have great train connections either, so it’s not always as straight forward as it seems.
Add train cancellations, or strike days into the mix and it can add unexpected stress to the start or completion of a journey.
Self Drive with Airport parking
Some people prefer to drive to the airport under their own steam and pay for airport parking.
This can save a few pennies, and most good airport car parks have a shuttle service to get you into the airport too.
Some people even book a hotel the night prior so they’re ready to go the next day, refreshed and relaxed.
Dependant upon the length of stay, and distance to travel, the costs of this option can vary and it’s not entirely hassle free as it seems (is anything?)
Get a Private Airport Transfer Taxi Service
Of course, we would argue that the best way of getting to an airport is to use a quality airport transfer service like ours. Not only do you have the option of booking a time that suits, you are not beholden to a 3rd party timetable or restrictions, or surge pricing or any other extra nonsense.
You can travel in the safety and comfort of a high quality vehicle, with a professional driver, dedicated to giving you a smooth and hassle free transfer to your airport of choice.
You don’t have to navigate drop off points, short or long term parking headaches, the stress of finding your car in the car park after a long flight or day. You just leave that to us.
We’ll even meet and greet you on arrival.
The downside to driving to an airport is that you might encounter a little bit of traffic en route, so you’ll need to make sure that you leave plenty of time to allow for those motorway snarl ups.
Thankfully, these are often short lived and with the rare exception seldom add more than an hour to a journey. Check out our options below.
