Most transfer problems are not dramatic scams. They are small confusion moments that cost money and time.

Warning signs

  • Unclear vehicle details after payment
  • Driver requests major route changes without reason
  • Pressure tactics at arrivals hall

Verification checklist

  • Booking reference saved
  • Driver or provider contact available
  • Pickup point described in writing
  • Price terms confirmed before travel

What official service usually looks like

Indicator Healthy signal
Communication Clear and prompt
Pickup details Specific bay or meeting point
Vehicle info Plate or model shared
Support Reachable in delay scenarios

Never feel rushed into a ride when details do not match your booking.

If something feels wrong

  1. Step back to a well-lit official area.
  2. Contact your provider using the booking channel.
  3. If needed, use official taxi or coach areas only.
Golden rule for first-time visitors

Clarity first, movement second. Confirm identity and destination before loading luggage.

Prepared travelers are rarely easy targets.
