5 Of The Best Global Private Transfer Services

When you are in the process of planning your next trip abroad you may want peace of mind that your transfers from the airport are sorted and you have nothing to worry about. These transfers can often come in many forms, from crowded coaches to hot and sweaty buses. However, nothing beats a private transfer that is yours and yours alone. This means you can relax, knowing that you won’t have to mix and mingle with anyone on the way. 

If you don’t want the hassle of trawling through all the potential companies then the good news is, you don’t have to. We have done all the hard work for you so you can see everything you need to know about the following eight private transfer companies. 

Transfeero 

Transfeero is widely known as being the most reliable and consistent platform when it comes to private transfers. People like that they cut out the middle man, and that really works for them. They have operators covering more than 100 countries worldwide. So no matter where you go, you will find professional transfers ready and waiting to take your booking. The experience you receive from Transfeero is second to none, you will get a personalized service where the driver meets you with a sign. 

Pros 

You won’t have to worry if flights are delayed as they have real-time tracking available. This saves you from any frantic emails, texts, or calls. 

Transparent and honest prices. The price you are quoted is the price you will pay, there are never any hidden fees with Transfeero. 

You are able to hire drivers by the hour rather than just per trip from A to B. 

Cons

You won’t necessarily be able to arrange and book last minute trips via Transfeero, they tend to be better for advanced trips. 

They are a lot more expensive than other traditional taxi companies and individual cab drivers. 

SIXT Ride

Here we have a high quality app that lets you book all types of transport that fit into whichever budget you have. This platform allows you to choose a tier, these include Standard, Business, First, and XL. Which means if there are quite a few of you with baggage then you will still be able to find a suitable ride. SIXT ride promises to offer first class rides which feature limousines to get you from point A to point B. They typically serve Europe and major US states, so don’t be disheartened if they don’t run in your town or country. 

Pros 

They offer many high quality cars including ones that are top of the range, including Audis and BMWs. 

The way you book is easy and the app is super user-friendly.

Clients comment on the positive wait times from drivers, they can and will happily wait up to sixty minutes if you are arriving at the airport. 

Cons

SIXT Ride tends to be more expensive than other companies.

Some clients report being redirected to standard taxi companies rather than private chauffeurs. 

Carey International

If you are after the VIP service and being treated like a celebrity then Carey International is for you. They have been running this amazing service for over 100 years, and always keep up with modern day technological advances. They can be found in more than 1000 cities across the world. However, they tend to be aimed more towards high class individuals and corporate fleets. 

Pros

You will receive not only a driver, but someone who is trained in the art of being a chauffeur, they respect your privacy and safety at all times. 

If you are opening and using them as a corporate account then you are able to make multi-currency payments. 

Cons 

Booking with Carey International can be incredibly confusing and not as easy as other platforms.

May be too expensive and not fit comfortably into your budget. 

Blacklane

Are you fed up with traditional limo services charging over the odds and being incredibly unreliable? If so, then check out Blacklane. They tend to have regular frequent flyers who will always come back for this sleep, black car experience that doesn’t cost the earth. They have an amazing booking system that is easy to use and check back on for updates along the way. One of the best USPs for Blacklane is that they offer around sixty minutes of free waiting time while traveling from an airport, this is more than most companies offer. 

Pros 

You will receive an all inclusive price, this means you won’t be met with a more expensive charge when you use their services.

Vehicles are clean and eco-friendly. Great for those environmentally friendly customers. 

Cons 

If you need to cancel at the last minute then you risk losing money. Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance. 

Only 15 minute wait time for standard pick ups, which might not be long enough for you and your needs. 

GetTransfer

This one is a little different to the standard platforms and apps that we have already spoken about. Instead of paying a fixed price or letting the meter run while in the vehicle, local taxi drivers and chauffeurs will bid on your journey. That means you could go from city to city for a much lower price than other taxi companies. This is a great business model, especially for those who need to monitor their wallet.

Pros 

You don’t have to accept the bid you receive. You can check out the driver’s credentials and the type of car before deciding who to use. 

You will pay the lowest price possible which means inter city traveling can be on the cheaper end of the spectrum. 

Cons  

Not great for those needing immediate transfers as the bidding prices can take a while. 

Quite a few customers have reported how difficult it is to get refunded. Meaning if your driver doesn’t show up you may not have the money available instantly for a new one. 

We do hope you found this helpful and it gave you plenty of inspiration on the best private transport companies to use for your next trip away.
