Frequently Asked Questions

  • Pre-Booking

    Please browse the FAQ below for any pre-booking related queries you may have.

  • How much luggage can I take?

    The allowance per person is one standard size suitcase (approximately 70cm high and 47 wide) , and one small piece of hand luggage (such as rucksack, handbag, or tote bag, this does not include a cabin sized luggage trolley). Please note that your hand luggage will be transported in the vehicle with you, so it should be an appropriate size as suggested above.

    Excess Luggage: If you are travelling with excess luggage, such as large suitcases, additional suitcases outside of the luggage allowance, golf clubs, wheelchairs, skis, pushchairs, etc. Please make us aware at the time of booking your transfer. If you are travelling within 3 days, please contact us by telephone. If you are travelling outside of 3 days, please message us through our live chat.

    Please note: Failure to tell us may result in refusal of service or in extra transport being required to accommodate the excess luggage, which will incur additional local charges.

  • What if I am booking my airport transfers with infants and/or children?

    As indicated on the booking form please select the number of passengers for the transfer. This includes adults above 12 years old, Children between 3 – 11 years old and infants 0-2 years old.

    Local and national laws regarding the use of child seats for infants and children vary from country to country. It is your responsibility to review local laws and ascertain whether a child or booster seat is required. We can offer pre-booked child and booster seats in a variety of destinations, which may incur an extra charge. However, if this is not indicated when you are booking, then this means that child seats and booster seats are not part of that booking process and you will need to contact HolidayTaxis on +44 1273 828200 or through our live chat.

    Please note: In some destinations, it is mandatory when travelling with a child to use a booster seat. However, some suppliers may not provide one. Thus, you will be required to bring your own and verify if the seat(s) will fit into the vehicle. Failure to provide the required information could result in the Supplier being unable to transport the child(ren)/infant(s).

    If you are in any doubt with regards to the provision or availability of child seats and / or booster seats in your provided transportation, then please feel free to contact HolidayTaxis on the telephone number previously provided or message us through our live chat.

    Please note: Operators reserve the right to refuse service to parties out of compliance with local/state/national law. Please ensure you check the laws and requirements before booking.
