# Decide Whether POP VIP Fits Your First and Last Holiday Days

Choose airport transport according to the journeys you expect to make. Having a car for a holiday and arranging a private airport arrival solve different needs.

## Direct answer

A POP VIP transfer suits travellers who want the airport journey arranged without driving themselves on arrival. A rental vehicle may suit an independently planned stay, subject to the rental company's terms. Compare the complete itinerary, authorized drivers, equipment and accommodation access rather than only the first day's headline price.

POP VIP uses the existing VIP destination fares, quoted in USD per vehicle for 1–6 passengers, one way. A larger vehicle adds $40 per journey for 7–14 passengers. Requested child seats cost $5 each per journey. The booking form combines these details; dispatch confirms the final arrangement.

## Map the journeys before choosing a product

List the airport legs separately from sightseeing, hotel changes and local errands. A transfer is a defined journey; a rental has its own collection, return and usage conditions. Do not assume that booking POP VIP also reserves an on-call holiday driver or that a rental quote includes every airport-related charge.

## Consider the arrival you want to manage

A late flight, unfamiliar villa entrance or large luggage load can make an arranged car appealing. Send POP VIP those details before confirmation. If renting, check the provider's actual counter hours, handover process, required documents and conditions directly rather than relying on another traveller's experience.

## Compare requirements as well as cost

Child restraints, equipment capacity and access needs matter whichever option you choose. Confirm them with the supplier. A vehicle category name alone does not establish a particular model or its suitability. The same applies to passenger capacity when the group carries substantial holiday luggage.

## Plan the final airport journey deliberately

If using POP VIP for departure, confirm collection from the actual accommodation and allow the airline's required airport time. If returning a rental, include the company's handover process in the schedule. Do not leave either task to an optimistic driving estimate on the morning of the flight.

## FAQ

### Does an airport transfer include a car for the whole stay?

No. Ask separately about any additional journey or private-driver itinerary.

### Can I use POP VIP for just one direction?

Request the journey you need and provide its flight, address and group requirements.
