How to book airport limousine services?
Step 1: Understand the requirements for booking airport transfer services (if any)
Before booking airport transfer services, customers should be aware of any specific requirements that need to be met. If there are any requirements, customers must fulfil them in order to be eligible for the service.
Step 2: Book airport transfer services in advance (48 hours to 5 days prior)
To get an airport transfer service, cardholders should book in advance (between 48 hours and 5 days before) using phone, email, online. When booking, cardholders might need to give some basic details like name, contact information, flight number, and arrival time. This information helps the company offering the service make sure they pick you up and drop you off correctly.
Step 3: Confirm the reservation and make payment
Once you provide the necessary information, the system will generate a reservation order. This order will show the type of car, date, number of passengers, time, and price. Take the time to review the order details carefully and follow the payment instructions to complete the process.
Step 4: Order confirmation
After your payment is done, you will usually get an email or message to confirm your order.
Step 5: Departure
The driver will pick you up at the agreed-upon location and take you to the airport as planned.
Things to note when booking airport transfer services with credit cards
Number of passengers
The cars from car rental companies that accept credit cards usually have seating for 4 to 7 people. So, when making a reservation, it is important to mention the number of passengers to prevent any confusion.
Avoid being late or cancelling at the last minute.
Credit card car rental companies typically impose “waiting fees” and “cancellation fees.” The “waiting fees” usually range from HK$150 to HK$450, and additional charges will apply for cancellations made at the last minute. To avoid incurring a “cancellation fee,” it is necessary to cancel the reservation within the specified time frame (8-12 hours in advance).
Extra charges for intermediate stops
If you need to make intermediate stops, credit card car rental companies typically charge additional fees. These fees can range from approximately HK$100 to HK$250. Therefore, it is advisable to coordinate with family and friends to board at the same location to avoid these extra charges.
Additional Charges for Early Morning Departures
If your departure time is early in the morning, the car rental company may charge additional fees, ranging from approximately HK$100 to HK$200.
