PRICES and DISCOUNTS
Prices vary depending
on the number of persons, the car used, if it is an arrival or return service, and if you
use both services (for which you will benefit from a discount, making it cost like a
taxi).
(a) if you are up to 4 persons
(b) if you are up to 6 persons (or 4 but
loaded with luggage)
(c) if you are up to 8 persons
(A) IF YOU ARE UP TO 4 PERSONS and you
have a maximum of 4 normal suitcases and 4 small personal bags (not more, or not bigger,
they would not fit in!), a regular deluxe Mercedes sedan will be enough:
- From the airport to
downtown or return the price is 60 Euros (app. 64 US$). The car is a large and elegant
Deluxe Standard Mercedes (blue colour).
- From the train station (or return) the price is 30 Euros (app. 32 US$).
(B) IF YOU ARE UP TO 6 PERSONS, and if you
have up to 6 (normal!) suitcases and 6 small personal bags, you will need a VAN.

The car will be either a Mercedes Van, or a Chrysler Van.
- From the train station (or return) the price is 40 Euros (app. 43 US$).
(C) IF YOU ARE UP TO 8 PERSONS, or if you
have up to 10 suitcases, and up to 10 personal bags, you will need a MINIBUS.

- From the train station (or return) the price is 55 Euros (app. 59 US$).
EARLY / LATE SERVICE:
Before 7 am or after 10 pm there is a supplement of 20%. As opposed to taxies, there are
no supplements for luggage transport (within the limits explained above), and there is no
supplement also for service on Sunday and holidays.
WAITING SUPPLEMENT:
AIRPORT: The chauffer will be checking for you at the scheduled arrival time and will wait
for you until you exit customs or the gate. Until 45 minutes from your scheduled arrival,
or *also from the re-scheduled arrival time following the information of the airline
company*, there is no supplement. This will give you enough time to clear all arrival
formalities, collect your luggage, get out of the gate and look for the driver having a
board with your name.
After this time there is a waiting supplement of 20 Euros (appr. 21 US$) per hour,
prorated for the waiting time (for ex. half hour costs 10 Euros). The reason is that the
driver will have to pay parking fees, and his time, to wait for you. It is also a measure
to stimulate some customers who take it really easy (they go to the bar, have endless
talks with the airline company about their luggage etc.).
In case your luggage is lost by the airline company, you should immediately inform the
driver by showing up at the gate, looking for him (he iwill be right there with a board
with your name). If you will have to wait to collect your luggage because the airline
company has problems (can't find them, lost etc.) the waiting supplement after 45 minutes
will apply nevertheless. In such cases the airline company will deliver the luggage at
your address downtown, so just give them your address. The waiting supplement after 45
minutes in these cases still applies because the chauffer will have to dedicate his
working time nevertheless. It is also a measure to prevent situations that drivers
experienced in such cases, i.e. that some customers will want to stay at the airport
possibly a few hours waiting for the next airplane maybe carrying the luggage. So please
just hand the address to the airline company, and use the car service: the luggage will be
delivered to you downtown by the airline. If you want to wait for hours at the airport,
then you should pay to the driver the waiting fee, or just get out of the gate, pay the
normal service, and ask him to leave. However all these circumstances are unlikely.
TRAIN STATION: the policy is the same of the airport arrivals, yet the waiting allowance
time is 25 minutes (not 45 minutes).
Upon request we can
organize transports to any other location. |
