Who it suits
When a private transfer is worth it
For a solo traveller with light luggage, the Aerobús shuttle or the train remain the cheapest options. A private transfer becomes the right choice in a few specific situations.
For families or groups
One offer is sold per vehicle, for up to 7 people: the more of you there are, the lower the price per person. Baby seats and booster seats are available on request with one of the offers.
Late at night or very early
The driver waits for you whatever time you arrive, with no queue at the taxi rank and no shuttle timetable to keep an eye on.
With a lot of luggage
No changes and no suitcases to carry from one platform to another: the car drops you outside your accommodation.
