A transfer is a private door-to-door transportation service that takes you directly from the airport, train station, cruise port, hotel or home to any other pick-up point, to your final destination (hotel, home, workplace, airport, station, port, etc.) or vice versa. Transfer services include a professional driver who drives for you.
Transfers with driver can be private or shared. Both have their own characteristics and benefits, adapting to different preferences and budgets.
At Chofix.com we only offer private transfers, since shared transfers are usually quite problematic for the client who uses them.
Private transfers are exclusive services in which the vehicle is reserved only for you and your companions. Private transfers are recommended, among other reasons, when you are travelling with a lot of luggage, if you are looking to avoid waiting or sharing space, or for special occasions, such as business trips or celebrations.
Shared transfers are a more affordable option, where you share the vehicle with other travelers who have similar destinations. A shared transfer is recommended if you are traveling alone or as a couple and want to reduce costs, when you are not in a hurry to reach your destination and if you are willing to share the ride with other travelers.
Below we provide a detailed comparison of the differences between private and shared transfers to help you decide which option best suits your needs:
