Airport Transfers

How do I find you at the airport?
For commercial airports, you driver will either meet you in baggage claim with a name sign. This can change depending upon the airport, so ask your reservationist. At private airports, your driver will meet you on the tarmac. It is very important that you provide accurate flight info for commercial trips and tail numbers for private flgihts. These are required for us to meet you when your flight lands.

What happens if my flight arrives either early or late?
Our booking system constantly monitors commercial flights and will update the driver automatically. Your chauffeur will also monitor the flight manually and meet you when your flight lands. If your chauffeur is unable to meet you due to an extreme change in your scheduled arrival time, dispatch will work to reassign another driver and vehicle to cover your reservation. If this happens, new driver information will be texted to you. You may not see this until your flight lands. For private flights, we monitor them when possible. If your flight cannot be monitored, we will arrive when scheduled. Delays in this case can result in wait charges.

When should I arrive at the airport before my departure flight?
We recommend that you arrive two hours prior to flight departure for larger airport such as Phoenix Sky Harbor. Smaller airports, such at Tucson International, only require that you arrive one hour prior to departure and will schedule your pickup to ensure this unless you specify otherwise. If you have an express check-in pass, this time can be reduced to 30 minutes.
