To start your trip, your driver will meet you in the Arrivals Hall inside the main terminal building. Your ride will be paid for in advance, so you can head straight to your vehicle without the need to withdraw or exchange any currency.
Tip: For transfers departing from your hotel or within the city, aim to be ready 15 minutes in advance to allow for any delays.
