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.

Discover Edinburgh
We start in Edinburgh's New Town and wander along the wide boulevards, learning about the history , architecture and some of characters connected with it. Leaving the New Town , we cross over to a completely different world in Edinburgh's old town. We discover alley ways and hear the tales that accompany them - tales of intrigue and murder (sometimes)! From the Castle, we stroll down the Royal Mile to reach Holyrood Palace, the official Scottish residence of the Queen.

Barney N.
Hi, I'm Barney. I have 14 years of experience guiding guests around Scotland, taking day tours out of Edinburgh. Whether I take people on scenic tours, or to historical sites like castles, or whisky tasting, I'm reminded every day that I really do have the best job in the world, in my favourite country in the world, and I'd like to share that with you. I was born in Edinburgh, and graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2008 with a history degree, so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Scottish history. But I also consider myself a storyteller, and my main job is to entertain you, so please don't feel that you're going to get dry lectures on history and culture. You don't need to remember a single thing I tell you, so long as you enjoy yourself. Also, please don't feel constrained by the standard tours I offer. I have many years of guiding experience, so if there's something you want to see that's not listed, just send me a message through Go With Guide and ask me to create a personalised itinerary just for you, which I'm always happy to do. Professional Qualifications/Memberships: - MA (Hons) History from University of Edinburgh - PGDE(S) from University of Strathclyde - Membership of SITOA (Scottish Independent Tour Operators Association)

Born in Milan, I spent my adult life in Edinburgh where I moved in 2009. This wonderful city stole my heart and here I am! Throughout this period I had the chance to get to know the city and dive in its history, culture and traditions. I hold a PhD and a Masters degree in History of Art from the University of Edinburgh. I have been working as a tour guide in Edinburgh since 2015. My academic background, teaching experience and passion for history, motivate me to create interesting tour outlines and narratives. I enjoy bringing the stories behind monuments and streets to life! Having worked in the Education Department of local art galleries, I also love to create activities for families and younger audiences. I am a foodie and always looking for the best eating spots in town! I'd be happy to give you insider's tips and recommend off-the-beaten path restaurants, cafes, bars and food markets. I am also an avid reader, I enjoy Scotland crime novels among other genres - nothing better than a Tartan Noir story! Despite my reluctance to sit on planes, I love travelling. Guiding clients from all over the world is one of the highlights of my job: it is so enriching to meet people from different countries and share experiences. Having travelled widely makes me sensible to visitors' needs and I realise the importance of meeting expectations. For this reason, all my tours can be customised. I would love to hear from you and create your unique and personalised itinerary!
