Short answer
The quoted price covers the whole vehicle for your group, a driver waiting inside arrivals with a name sign, flight tracking with delays covered, highway tolls, taxes, child seats, A/C, bottled water and door-to-door drop at the lobby, apartment or villa gate. Nothing is charged at booking; you pay the driver at the end.
Included
Private vehicle, no other passengers. Meet-and-greet inside the arrivals hall past customs. Flight tracking. Waiting time: up to 60 minutes after bag delivery on a normal arrival, unlimited when the flight itself is late. Tolls and taxes. Child seats, free. Bottled water.
Optional, agreed before the ride
A supermarket or pharmacy stop on the way (usually free on longer runs, agreed in advance). Extra waiting beyond the free window. A second vehicle for a bigger group. A tip for the driver, always your choice.
Never part of the price
There is no night surcharge, no per-bag fee, no per-person fee, no airport tax added at the curb and no booking fee. If anyone at the airport asks you for money before you are in the car, they are not your driver.
