Traveling to an all-inclusive resort, whether it be in Mexico, Jamaica, or any tropical locale is a great way to eliminate the stress of decisions while on vacation. All your food is provided at the resort, drinks are included, activities are either included or can be arranged through your property; there’s really just not too many decisions to be made once your resort is selected. One of the most important decisions you do have to make prior to travel is how you intend to get to the resort. At any of the major airports in these destinations you’ll find plenty of ride-share and taxi options so you will certainly not be stranded if you do not make pre-arrangements to get to your hotel. As travel advisors we always recommend booking your transfer prior to travel.
Here’s why:
1. Set Price: We have all been there, ride-share prices have surged right when we need to order one, and our $20 ride is now a $55 ride. If your plane lands at the same time as several others, you may see a surge in ride-share pricing
2. Less Waiting: Its rare but sometimes the cabs are all busy, the ride-shares are all 20 minutes away, and you’re standing outside the airport with no way to get where you’re going. Most transfer companies will monitor your flight to guarantee a car available for your party once you’re through Customs and have collected your luggage
3. More Professional: Transfer companies have their entire business riding on professional and courteous drivers, they are less likely to hire individuals who don’t meet their expectations
4. Less Hassle: Walking out of the airport in a tourist destination means being greeted by a million different companies trying to sell you their excursions and transfers, but pre-booking your hotel transfer you’ll feel less overwhelmed. You’ll be able to politely say no thank you and move on to your vacation
5. Transfers May Be Included: Some All-Inclusive destinations actually provide complimentary transfers to their clients as long as you provide your flight information. A benefit of using a travel advisor is that we can direct you to resorts that include transfers if this is something that you’re interested in.
