Airports
We make more trips to the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX) than any other airport in Southern California.
Even though airports do not require authorization to drop
off passengers, they require transportation companies to have airport's
prior authorization to pick up passengers. Some airport also require
an airport fee each time a transportation company picks up a passenger
there.
Flight Arrivals
We obtain flight arrival time updates several times, for
every arriving passenger. We do this by Internet or by calling the
airlines flight information system directly.
Even though all airlines provide flight arrival time
updates, it should be noted however that, such updates are only estimates.
In addition, most arrival time estimates are only landing time
estimates, not adjusted for the ground traffic ahead of the gate at large
airports.
Flight information systems do not provide definite gate
number or carrousel number information. Drivers obtain these
information from the monitors at the airports. Gates airplanes
actually park at are subject to last minute availability. Regretfully,
sometimes airlines do not announce the last minute gate changes, causing
drivers to wait at different gate.
Our experience helps every day to overcome these problems.
Our passengers don't need to worry about variations in their actual flight
arrival time, as long as they keep the same flight number. We
guarantee having a car for our passenger, at no extra cost, as long as their
actual arrival time is within one hour of the originally scheduled arrival
time. We often need to reschedule and reassign another car if the
actual arrival time is more than an hour after the originally scheduled
arrival time. A rescheduling fee applies, unless rescheduled on the
previous day.
Our Standard Procedure
Driver, assigned your job, will pay an airport fee, to
airports charging such fee, before entering the airport. Your assigned
vehicle is then parked, at the closest available parking, at least fifteen
minutes before your plane lands. Your driver, depending on your type
of pick up, will either go to the gate, go to the carrousel at
the baggage claim or stay in the car waiting for you to call.
We provide three airport pick up types for domestic
arrivals. Airport pick up types vary depending on where we are to meet
our passenger.
- Meeting at Baggage Claim Carrousel (Domestic
Arrival)
- Curb Pick up (Domestic Arrival)
- Arrival Lobby (International Arrival)
- By the airplane (Chartered)
Our airport pick up rate is the same for all domestic pick
up types. Our airport pick up rate (for domestic arrivals) is actually
the same as its corresponding local pick up, from home to the airport for
example.
International arrival pick ups require more driver's time
than domestic arrival pick ups. This is due to the fact that
international passengers go through immigration and custom procedures while
the driver is waiting. Please see list of extra charges for international
pick ups.
