Have some fun with your family each year by taking a family vacation to an exotic place. In fact, this appears to be a tradition for more than one-third of American families. If you have a relatively large family, booking private transportation to and from the airport will be a lot more convenient, and cheaper than calling a taxi or trying to co-ordinate driving to and parking at the airport. When booking private transportation for the entire family, here are 3 things that you should let the company know ahead of time.
The Amount of Suitcases that Everyone Will Be Bringing
On top of letting the companies offering private transportation know ahead of time how many people they will need to get to and from the airport, it's also vital that you give them a heads up on how much luggage everyone will be bringing along. You don't want to find out before the ride that there's not enough space for everyone's luggage, as the only solution is to either leave some luggage behind, ship some luggage to your travel destination or make two trips to the airport. All of which will add quite a lot of stress to your day.
Whether Any Children Need Car Seats
All 50 states require children less than 7 years of age to be properly restrained in a car seat. Unless you plan on lugging around a car seat with you onto the airplane and during the entirety of the vacation, call the company ahead of time to let them know just how many car seats you'll need. The company will need to know how old your child is, and the car seat size that will fit them the best.
The Airline and Type of Flight You'll Be Taking
If you want to confirm that you'll be dropped off at the right place and as close to your check-in location as possible, provide your private transportation with the airline you'll by flying with and with the type of flight you'll be taking, domestic or international, ahead of time. This will allow the private transportation to drop you off as close to your gate as possible, so that you won't have to waste time running around the airport.
Booking private transportation to and from the airport will be a lot more convenient that having to book a taxi or having to find someone to drive everyone to the airport. Learn more by contacting companies like St. Lucia's Best.
