Airport transfer or private driver: choosing the right service

An airport or hotel-to-hotel transfer covers an agreed journey; private driver hire covers a broader period or itinerary. Palmway focuses on transfers, so its published transfer prices do not include an unrestricted driver day.

Do I need a transfer or a period of driver hire?

An airport transfer moves you between the airport and an agreed destination. A hotel-to-hotel transfer moves you between accommodation addresses. Private driver hire usually involves retaining a vehicle and driver for a period with a broader itinerary. Start by describing the actual need, because a point-to-point price should not be assumed to include several hours of use, multiple visits or an open-ended schedule.

How should the two services be priced and compared?

A transfer quote is usually discussed around the route, time, party and luggage. A longer hire needs additional details such as the start and end times, itinerary and expected waiting at each place. These are different services, so a day-hire amount does not tell you what an airport journey should cost. Likewise, a transfer rate cannot fairly be multiplied into a promise of unrestricted driver availability.

What does a hotel-to-hotel transfer cover?

When changing hotels, first decide whether you simply want to move your party and bags to the next property. Check checkout and arrival arrangements with both hotels, then request a transfer for that route. If you want a longer programme between properties, discuss it with a provider offering that service. Do not add several unplanned stops to a confirmed transfer and assume that the vehicle remains available for the rest of the day.

Which services does Palmway provide?

Palmway focuses on airport transfers and hotel-to-hotel transfers. It does not offer day tours or private driver days through this service. For a Palmway enquiry, provide the start point, destination, date, time, passenger count and luggage. Review the published transfer rates on the pricing page, then use the planner to confirm your requirements and review the total and terms in the response. Arrange any separate driver-hire requirement with an appropriate provider and keep the two bookings clearly distinguished.

Useful questions

Does Palmway offer a driver for a full day?

No. Palmway's service focuses on airport and hotel-to-hotel transfers.

Does a hotel transfer include sightseeing stops?

Do not assume so. A direct transfer and a longer itinerary are different services and need to be arranged accordingly.
