Why book an airport transfer?

As a private minibus transport service with almost 20 years of experience in the game, we take great pride in serving our local communities here at SC Travel.

Located in Alfreton and operating across Derbyshire (and beyond!), one of our most popular transport services at SC Travel is airport transfers.

For many people, driving to the airport themselves is the most common option for transport. However, as we all know, travelling abroad is rarely a stress-free experience – and that’s where airport transfers come in. A way to relieve that stress, provide reliability and start holidays off on the right foot, airport transfers are often an underestimated service!

In this blog, we’ll be going through exactly what airport transfers are and what their benefits are, and answering the all-important question of why you should consider booking an airport transfer for your next holiday.

So, what is an airport transfer?

In essence, airport transfers are where a chauffeur is hired to take you, your family, friends or employee to the airport for their upcoming flight, as well as pick you up from the airport, taking you back to your destination.

Often used for family/friend holidays, stag dos, hen dos and executive travel, airport transfers are particularly popular for VIP or group trips. However, they are also ideal for people who won’t drive themselves or own their own car.

Why do people book airport transfers?

Airport transfers take the stress away from airport travel. At a time when you should be most at peace, airports can be extremely stressful. With airport transfers, this stress can be relieved, allowing you to relax and enjoy your holiday straight away.

However, booking an airport transfer isn’t just about stress-relief. It also provides reliability, comfort and luxury – which is especially ideal if you have an overseas business meeting you need to get to on-time, and in-style! 

For groups, airport travel can also work out to be much more cost-effective than driving yourselves. Depending on your group/family size, you may need to take several cars to the airport, thus using more fuel and purchasing several airport car park tickets – which are reportedly, in some cases, becoming more expensive than flights. Airport transfer costs, on the other hand, are a set price that can be split amongst the group members – enabling people to manage their travel expenses much more efficiently.
