    If you have booked a shared transfer, the driver cannot wait for passengers who are late, out of consideration for the other passengers. GoOpti aims to start every transfer at the time stated in the transfer notification. If you have booked a private transfer and your arrival is delayed because of another carrier (e.g. an airline), the driver will do their best to wait for you for up to one hour.

    If you have the Absolutely No Worries package and are notified of a flight change more than 48 hours before your scheduled transfer, we will arrange a free replacement transfer for you, provided you let us know in time. In this case, please write to us at [email protected].

    Regardless of the type of transfer, please let us know about any delay as soon as you learn of it by calling the emergency number you received in the SMS and email transfer notification. This way we can check the options for carrying out your transfer in good time.
