Navigating airport logistics can be one of the most stressful parts of your journey, whether you're a corporate traveller heading to a high-stakes meeting or a tourist looking to explore the Giant’s Causeway. At Airport Transfers Belfast (ATB), we believe that your transport should be the easiest part of your trip.
Because we handle hundreds of transfers every week across Belfast International, Belfast City, and Dublin Airport, we’ve heard every question in the book. To help you plan your next trip with confidence, we’ve compiled this comprehensive FAQ guide covering our policies, meeting procedures, and the premium services that set us apart.
1. What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that travel plans can change in an instant. Flight cancellations, meeting shifts, or personal emergencies happen. That’s why at Airport Transfers Belfast, we offer one of the most flexible cancellation policies in the industry.
- Free Cancellation: You can cancel your booking for free up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup time.
- No Hidden Fees: Unlike ride-sharing apps, we don't charge "cancellation processing fees" if you cancel within the 24-hour window.
- No Surge Pricing: The price you are quoted is the price you pay. We do not use surge pricing during busy periods or holidays.
- Refund Process: Once a cancellation is confirmed within the eligible timeframe, your refund is processed immediately back to your original payment method.
We pride ourselves on transparency. When you book a belfast airport taxi or a premium chauffeur service with us, you get a fixed-price guarantee that stays the same regardless of traffic or route changes.
2. Where do I meet my driver?
One of the most common worries for travellers is finding their driver in a crowded terminal. At ATB, we’ve standardised our meeting points to make the process seamless.
Dublin Airport (DUB)
For all Dublin Airport transfers, we provide a Complimentary Meet & Greet service. Your driver will be waiting for you inside the arrivals hall with a clear name board.
- Terminal 1: Look for your driver near Insomnia Coffee in the arrivals hall.
- Terminal 2: Your driver will be waiting near the Yellow Monument (Turning Point) or the Spar shop immediately after you exit the baggage reclaim area.
Belfast International Airport (BFS)
At BFS, we offer two options. If you’ve booked a Meet & Greet, your driver will be in the main arrivals hall just after you exit customs. For standard pickups, we utilise the designated pickup zones located just outside the terminal doors. We will provide specific instructions and your driver's contact details via SMS before you land.
Belfast City Airport (BHD)
Because Belfast City Airport is more compact, meeting your driver is very straightforward. We typically meet passengers in the arrivals hall near the information desk or the main coffee shop.
Hotel & Residential Pickups
For hotel departures, our drivers will meet you in the hotel lobby or at the reception desk. There’s no need to wait outside in the rain; our driver will enter the building to announce their arrival.
3. What exactly is the 'Complimentary Meet & Greet'?
We are often asked if there is an extra charge for meeting a driver inside the terminal at Dublin Airport. The answer is no.
At Airport Transfers Belfast, we include a Complimentary Meet & Greet on all Dublin Airport trips as standard. This isn't just a "nice to have", it's a core part of our service for several reasons:
- Real-Time Flight Tracking: Our office team and drivers monitor your flight status in real-time. If your flight is delayed by three hours or arrives 30 minutes early, we adjust your pickup time automatically. You don't need to worry about calling us from the tarmac.
- Luggage Assistance: Your driver isn't just there to hold a sign; they are there to help. From the moment you meet in the arrivals hall, they will assist with your luggage and lead you directly to your waiting vehicle.
- 24/7 Availability: Whether your flight lands at 4 AM or 11 PM, our professional drivers are there. We are a large company with a dedicated team, ensuring we never miss a pickup.
4. What types of vehicles do you offer?
We cater to everything from solo executive travellers to large tour groups. Our fleet is diverse and maintained to the highest professional standards.
- Standard Executive Cars: Perfect for 1-3 passengers with standard luggage. These provide a comfortable, private alternative to a standard belfast airport shuttle.
- Mercedes V-Class (8-Seater): Our most popular choice for families and corporate teams. These premium MPVs offer leather interiors, climate control, and massive luggage capacity.
- Mercedes Sprinters: Ideal for golf trips or large groups (up to 16 passengers) heading from Dublin to Belfast.
- Coaches: For very large groups or corporate events, we can provide full-sized coaches to ensure everyone travels together in comfort.
5. How do I book, and what happens next?
We have simplified the booking process into three easy steps on our website:
- Enter your details: Pick-up location, destination, date, and time.
- Choose your vehicle: Select from our range of cars, V-Class vans, or minibuses based on your group size.
- Confirm & Pay: Complete your booking securely online.
Instant Confirmation: As soon as you book, you will receive an instant confirmation email with a PDF summary of your trip. This includes your fixed price, so there are no surprises on the day.
6. Do you provide child seats?
Yes! Safety is our priority. We can provide child seats or booster seats upon request. Please ensure you mention this in the "special requirements" section of your booking form so we can have the correct seat installed before your driver arrives.
7. How much luggage can I bring?
Luggage capacity depends on the vehicle you book.
- Our Mercedes V-Class can easily handle up to 8 large suitcases plus hand luggage.
- For groups with significant equipment (like golf clubs or musical instruments), we recommend our Mercedes Sprinter which features an extra-large boot space specifically designed for high-capacity transfers.
8. Why choose ATB for cross-border transfers?
A dublin airport to belfast transfer or a belfast to dublin airport transfer involves a two-hour journey across the border. This is our area of expertise.
- Expert Knowledge: Our drivers are local experts who know the best routes to avoid motorway delays.
- Fixed Pricing: We offer competitive, fixed rates for the Belfast-Dublin corridor, often proving more cost-effective and significantly more comfortable than the bus or train for groups.
