Frequently Asked Questions

Enter the departure location in the “From” field and the destination in the “To” field. You can enter the name of the place or specify the exact address. The drop-down suggestions will make the search faster and easier.

Then, click on the “Continue” button. Select the required transfer class and continue with the booking.

If you require a transfer from an airport or railway station, we recommend that you specify your flight arrival time as the start of your transfer. This will make it easier for the driver to organise the meeting.

Important note: If you have been notified of a change in arrival time, please let us know so that we can negotiate any urgent changes with the carrier.

If you require a transfer from a hotel to an airport, please state the time you wish to be met at reception. You will need to calculate the departure time by yourself. We recommend that you add 3 hours for airport check-in to the time of the ride. The approximate time the driver will need to arrive at the airport is shown on the booking page.

For example, if your flight departs at 14:00 and the transfer time is 1 hour, the pick-up time should be 10:00.

The timing depends on the vehicle class. Premium class vehicles or Minibus for 10, 13, 16 or 19 pax should be booked at least 24 hours in advance.

Standard vehicles (Micro, Economy, Comfort, Minivan 4 pax, Minibus 7 pax) should be booked at least 16 hours prior to your trip.

If you don't have that much time, you can book an urgent transfer. We will inform you as soon as possible whether we can provide the service or not.

Once you have completed the booking, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with a voucher detailing your booking number and all the relevant information for your trip.

If you do not receive the confirmation e-mail, please contact our manager by e-mail at support@upaluride.com or via online chat.

Enter the exact address of your destination or the name of your hotel.

Important note: A hotel address is usually given on the hotel voucher - a document that confirms your booking and is sent to you after you have reserved a room.
