We sell private transfers, so read this knowing what we do. It is still worth writing, because some of the people who ask us for a quote would be better served by a train ticket, and telling them so costs us one booking and earns us the next one.
The train wins when
You are one or two people with hand luggage. You are travelling in daylight. Your accommodation is near a station or a short flat walk from one. You are not carrying anything you would hate to hold on your knees for fifty minutes. You have time, and you would rather spend the difference on lunch.
The vehicle wins when
You are three or more. Once you divide a per vehicle price by three or four passengers, the gap narrows sharply, and it closes completely if the alternative is two taxis at either end.
You have real luggage. Regional trains here are not designed for four large cases, and neither are the stairs.
You are travelling with small children, with a car seat, with someone elderly, or with anyone who needs a door to door journey rather than a route with connections.
You land late or leave early. When the timetable stops, a private vehicle is the only thing left.
Your day has more than one stop. If you want to see something on the way rather than only arrive, a vehicle stops and a train does not.
The part nobody mentions
The cost of a bad transfer is rarely money. It is the ninety minutes at the start of a holiday spent finding a platform with a suitcase in each hand, or the hour at the end spent watching a departures board. Some people do not mind that at all. Some people mind it a great deal. Only you know which one you are.
What we would ask you
How many of you, how many cases, what time you land, and where exactly you are staying. With those four answers we can tell you honestly whether to book us or to buy a ticket, and we would rather say the second than have you regret the first.
Prices per route are on the transfers page. If you would rather ask a person, the phone number is on the contacts page.
