It is necessary to consider many factors when you decide to book a transfer to the airport. To not miss the registration and the flight, we recommend you to use the following scheme to calculate the necessary time: write down the time you spend on the road, add two hours, and then 30 more minutes for unexpected surprises that might occur during the trip. For example, if your flight leaves at 12:00 and the time you spend on the road is one hour, then you will have to set 8:30 as the pickup time for a transfer.

How to calculate the duration of a trip?

If you want to know the approximate journey time, you need to enter the point of departure and the drop-off location. The system will automatically do all the calculations itself, and show them in your booking request on the left side.

Changes might occur depending on particular circumstances.

4. Transfer booking conditions and details

What if I am traveling with children?

A child is regarded as an adult passenger when you book a transfer. It happens so because we take care of each passenger comfort and safety. A transfer vehicle that is booked for a trip with children should be equipped with child seats. When you make a reservation for a transfer, you should indicate the type of a car seat you need: an Infant seat – for a child whose weight is no more than 9 kilograms; a Baby seat – for a kid who weighs from 9 to 18 kilograms; or a Child seat (booster) – for a child whose weight exceeds 15 kilograms, but is less than 36 kilograms (this term stands for a special airbag, which is attached to a seat and helps to use the seat belts more rationally). 

Please note that no extra fees are charged for a child seat but you should tell us how many seats you need using comments in the booking form.

Is it obligatory to book child seats?

We advise you to book a child seat not only for the sake of a child’s safety but for the reason of local laws. It is strictly prohibited to carry children without child seats in many European countries. Thus, non-compliance to the rules might influence not only the kid’s safety but also cause particular fines.

While making a booking, you need to specify the type of child seat according to the age. If this information is not included in the booking, the driver has the right to refuse the transfer, as the car will not have a child seat.

How to choose a vehicle?

The first thing you should do is to indicate the number of passengers in the vehicle search. After that, you will be offered to choose from a list of vehicles of different classes and grades of comfort. Upon your preferences, you can choose the one you like yourself. Remember that children are counted as adult passengers.

The allowed luggage is shown next to the each car. Standard size of one piece of luggage is 158 centimeters upon the sum of its length, width, and height.

The extra amount of luggage should be indicated separately. If you are not sure which car will suit you better, you could ask us to recommend you the type of the car that will be able to carry your luggage and provide the same level of comfort to all passengers.

How will the vehicle look like?

When you make a booking, you select the class of vehicle. In case if the required vehicle is not available at the moment of your arrival due to some reasons, we guarantee that you will get the transport of a higher grade without applying additional fees.

How do I know the car capacity?

All transport has capacity standards, which are specified in the search results. When you select a class of car, you will see its capacity based on the number of passengers and luggage places.

What should I do if my luggage exceeds standard size?

In this case, we will help you select the vehicle that can carry all your non-standard luggage. For example sports equipment, bike, spinning, etc.

You can book a vehicle for transportation of non-standard luggage by sending us an email to info@aktis.taxi or in the online chat. Another way to request for such a facility is by filling out a search form, where you should specify the details of your luggage.

Will my driver deliver me right to the hotel?

Certainly, he will. The cost of a transfer is based on the destination, i.e. the place of your residence. Any address you state in the request form will be regarded as the final spot.

If you do not know the exact address of your hotel, you can specify the name of the city and the name of the hotel or any other information you are aware of. In such a case, we will find all the necessary information ourselves to ensure that the drop-off point is as close as possible to your place of residence. Nevertheless, you can make it easier for us if you use a hotel voucher. Usually the exact location of the hotel is indicated there.

Can we ask our driver to make a stop or change the route?

Transportation is implemented upon the route specified in advance. If you plan to visit particular places on the way, it is possible to make some stops if you mention this in your booking.

In case, if you have a sudden wish to make a stop, you can ask a driver about this possibility.

There may be technical stops on the way if the route is long-distance, for example refueling, etc. The time spent for such stops will be also taken into account in the total time of the route, specified in your order.

Yes, that is possible, too. You can choose any route you want. In order to request a transfer according to your individual requirements, you should contact our manager via online chat, by email or phone.

All your wishes will be considered and implemented. Our employee will create a reservation, which will be sent to you by email for confirmation. After confirmation, a voucher with all the details of the route will be sent to your email.

What are the regulations in case of inappropriate customer behavior?

We pay attention to every client and care about the quality of service. However, there are some objective reasons to refuse to fulfill a transfer. The foremost reason for the refusal is the state of being under alcohol or drugs influence of passengers.

In case if a customer shows aggression or abusive behavior towards a driver, the transfer company has the right to cancel the order and refuse to perform the service.

In case of inappropriate behavior of a passenger, the cost of a transfer will not be returned.

What is the smoking policy?

According to existing legislation, transport companies prohibit smoking in their vehicles. We also support such principles and respect all our passengers equally, smokers and non-smokers.

Our company treats all customers with personalized attention and respect. We take into consideration only justified complaints. All the claims regarding the provided service are taken for consideration not later than 28 days after the transfer. After the mentioned period, the claim might not be accepted. You should also note that the claims related to the customer’s improper behavior and rules violations are also not accepted.

If you come to the seaport, the driver will meet you in the building of a port station. You will easily recognize him by the board with your name on it.

If you book a transfer from the hotel, the driver will meet you in the hall.

What should I do if I cannot find my driver?

First of all, look around again at what's written on the plates of people in the arrival hall. It is quite possible that you have just missed the one you need.

Secondly, you should wait for about 15 minutes. Perhaps, there are particular force majeure issues that caused some delay. We will certainly inform you about that via a telephone call and clarify the exact time of the vehicle’s arrival.

You can also contact a driver yourself to find out when he reaches the mentioned location.

In case if you do not receive a phone call or a message from a drive, and there is no vehicle after a 30-minute waiting, you can hire a city taxi. The route of the taxi should be the same as the one you have booked. In case if you did a prepayment, we will return it back.

Who meets me at the airport?

At the airport, you will be met by a driver in the arrival hall. He will be holding a plate with your name and surname signed on it. In case if you did not see your driver with the name-tag, you can contact him to clarify the meeting place.
