Transfer to the airport from home or transfer from the station to the airport or city center. My experience with GoOpti for family travel, the review for airport transfers to share with friends or to travel alone and save money.
In my last two trips, I have faced some logistical problems of transferring to the airport. Nothing serious, but flight schedules were difficult to manage with a 3 year old and always too many suitcases and strollers. So I decided to rely on GoOpti to be able to manage everything.
Why, what is there to manage during a trip? Eh, several things, especially if you have a child and you need to carry at least one suitcase and a stroller. But especially if the airline schedules are not always happy, heavily affecting the departure time from your home which is not very close to the airport.
GoOpti gave me the possibility first of all not to take the car, thus solving the question of driving at night or in the dark, but also searching or booking parking and driving when you are dead tired after returning from a trip. Furthermore, the transfer seemed very comfortable to me for a specific reason, I was able to pay maximum attention to my son during the whole trip. What does this mean? That even starting at 4 in the morning from home, I managed to be present, without the problem of driving, to be with him, to play, to live together the waiting for departure and arrival at the airport, without having to look for the way or look at the navigator.
I GoOpti transfers are of two types, private ones and shared ones. In both situations I took a private transfer, because there were three of us with different things to take with them. I imagine that a person traveling alone can easily take a shared transfer, saving money, but also enjoying the convenience of a trip by van.
How does the journey with GoOpri transfer work in practice?
First the booking. As soon as the reservation is made, by entering the place of departure, arrival (and possible return) for the indicated days and persons, you will receive an email confirming the transfer.
Il day before departure, in my case for the airport, a message arrives by email and also by sms. The message precisely communicates both the meeting time and the meeting point (in my case I had placed my house), as well as the telephone number and the name of the driver. In this case, in the unfortunate event of a delay, both driver and guest can communicate by telephone. During my first trip I happened to wake up later than the wake-up time I had set the day before. I mean, I started getting dressed quickly and my GoOpti companion phoned me to find out if it was the right address. An extra scruple to have both the telephone number that can always be used.
The transference arrives directly at the airport, in front of the entrance and comes to pick you up at the exit. At the exit, in addition to the message the day before the meeting as for the outward journey, it is possible that you will receive a call or an additional text message from the driver who warns you that you have arrived and indicates the meeting point for the return home.
The transference that I experienced were both two van, very clean and equipped. Sweets, air conditioning and soft music and for my son even the car seat based on his weight. A super efficient service that I enjoyed trying and that I recommend for an airport or station transfer for family or friends, but also for those traveling alone, who want to be comfortable and spend less by sharing the ride.
