* Our driver will come and pick you up and take you directly to our front door
* Simply call us on our Freecall Number on arrival and we'll sort out the rest. We'll be asking you what you're wearing, just so it's easier for our drivers to come & find you!
* After you have called us, this is where you will need to stand so the driver can find you:
INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL: Wait at The Meeting Point which is located on the ground floor of the Arrival section. It's a big blue wall with seats in front of it. "The Meeting Point" is displayed in large orange writing. It's situated right in front of a Currency Exchange booth & is closest to the Arrival North section. If you are at the Meeting Point near the McDonalds then you are in the WRONG PLACE.
DOMESTIC TERMINAL: For domestic terminals, go to Baggage Claim Carousel # 5 after you have collected your luggage and wait there next to the carousel and make sure you are inside the terminal. Our drivers should be there within 15-20 minutes. Please be patient during peak-hour times.
Please note: It's really important that you stay at the above place & not move or be tempted to go shopping or go out & smoke a cigarette - our driver's aren't mind-readers & won't be able to find you!
