Frequently Asked Questions
Booking & Account
How does booking an airport transfer work on GoWithGuide? Is it different from booking a private tour?
The flow is identical to any other GoWithGuide booking: search → choose your car → enter details → pay online. No extra log-ins, no redirection to third-party sites. Your transfer will appear in GWG along any tours you have booked.
Simply use the search box to find the perfect transfer service for you, then follow the on-screen instructions to make the online booking.
Will my airport-transfer booking appear in my Bookings list and confirmation emails, just like my tour reservations?
Yes. Every confirmed transfer is listed in your Bookings list, and you’ll receive a confirmation email that includes pick-up instructions and 24/7 support contact details.
Price & Payment
Is the fare all-inclusive or will I pay extra on the day?
The checkout total already includes the vehicle, driver meet-&-greet, taxes, tolls, and standard waiting time—so there are no hidden fees for the base ride.
How do I make a payment?
If you do not have an account with us, before making a payment you will be prompted to create an account. If you already have an account with us but not logged in, you will be prompted to log in before you make a purchase. Once you are signed up or logged in, you will be able to make a payment. You can pay either by credit/debit card or PayPal.
Is my payment secure?
Yes, your payment is secure. You can pay for airport transfers using either credit/debit card or PayPal through GoWithGuide’s SSL-protected checkout. We comply with PCI-DSS standards, so your payment information is encrypted end-to-end and never stored on our servers.
Policies & Refunds
What’s the cancellation window, and when will I get my refund?
Each local provider sets its own free-cancellation deadline, typically 24 hours before pick-up. The exact cut-off is displayed at checkout and again on your Booking Details page. Cancel within that window and we automatically refund the full fare to your original card, usually within 5-10 business days (bank processing times may vary).
What happens if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
Enter your flight number when booking and your driver will track it in real time. If there’s a delay but it's still within the free waiting period (see below), no action is needed. For longer delays or cancellations, contact the 24/7 support number in your Booking Details page (can also find it in the confirmation email); we’ll reschedule or refund according to the supplier’s policy.
Driver & Vehicle
Are drivers licensed and insured, and will they speak English?
Yes. All drivers hold professional licences, carry commercial insurance and have passed background checks. Most airport-route drivers speak English; if you need another language, add it in Special Instructions and we’ll confirm availability before pick-up.
Which vehicle types can I book, and how do I know they’ll fit my group and luggage?
Search results list the main categories—economy sedans, business sedans, minivans, minibuses, and premium cars—along with the passenger and suitcase capacity for each. Pick the class that matches your head-count and bags, and you’re set. All vehicles are non-smoking and air-conditioned.
Can I request a vehicle with a child seat or child booster?
Yes, you can. When you search, you'll see whether a car offers a child seat or child booster, and whether it's included or optional.
If it's optional, you’ll have the option to add it on the checkout page.
Where is this transfer service available?
Our partner network spans 3,500+ airports across 180 countries. If an airport shows up in the search bar, you can book a ride there, no need to cross-check elsewhere.
Meet-&-Greet Logistics
Where will the driver meet me, and how will I recognise them?
For airport pick-ups the driver waits in the arrivals hall after customs, holding a sign with your name. The Booking Details page also includes 24/7 support contact details for real-time updates.
How long is the free waiting time, and what if I need more?
Free waiting time varies by car and local provider. You'll see the exact wait time listed on each car option and on the checkout page. If you need extra time, please contact the 24/7 support team listed in your confirmation email.
What should I do if I can’t find my driver?
Check the meeting-point instructions in your Booking Details page, then call or text the driver using the contact details provided. Still stuck? Tap the 24/7 support link or phone the support number in your confirmation email and we’ll assist immediately.
How early should I schedule pickup for my return to the airport?
We recommend setting your hotel/airbnb pickup at least 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international flight, allowing for traffic. Your search results display an estimated travel time to help you choose.
Support & Contact
Is there 24/7 help if plans change at the last minute?
Yes. The Booking Details page lists round-the-clock phone and live-chat channels to support you. Reach out any time for rescheduling, driver queries or emergency assistance.

Yoshie K.
Hi, I am Yoshie. I am a national government licensed English speaking Guide. I used to work for multinational companies and served as an interpreter for several years and travelled around Japan with coworkers. I love plants, nature, travelling as well as finding good places to eat! I am also a communicative person. After having lived in Tokyo for some decades, now I live in my hometown, Fukui where you can have a great experience of Zen buddhism in the head temple of the Zen sect, Eiheiji which was founded in 1244. Fukui Dinosaur Museum is very popular regardless of age. It is one of the world's three largest dinosaurs. Echizen is also well known for Japan's handmade crafts including kitchen knives, washi paper, lacquer wares, Tansu chests and pottery. Seeing craftsmen's work right in front of you makes you excited and impressed. I have been travelling Kanazawa since my high school age so I know well about the town to show you around as well as Shirakawago, a day trip from Kanazawa. I am excited to meet you and coordinate what you are really interested in to make you the happiest memories in Japan. I look forward to guiding you soon!

Tetsuji Y.
Hello everyone. I am Tetsuji. I worked as a public servant in the local government for 35 years. I belonged to the department of Redevelopment, Town-Landscaping, Preserving historical areas and Architectural Guidance. (I have a national 1st-class architect license.) I devoted myself to revitalizing the city by making plans and improving infrastructure for citizens. Gifu is located in central Japan near Nagoya. As just being the crossroads of the West and the East, there are many unique attractions that are hard to discover in hectic big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto. I had a hand in restoring and preserving some of them throughout my career and want to introduce them to tourists from abroad. That’s why I became a guide-interpreter in Gifu. I also enjoyed traveling around the world. My favorite part of each trip was walking around the city and talking with local residents. Traveling has taught me lots of things during my lifetime. Now, I would like to help others have similar experience in Japan. Shall we enjoy fantastic journey in Gifu?
