Everything You Need to Know About Airportrips
Fares depend on vehicle type and travel time, though every price is fixed and shown before you confirm your booking. A standard saloon costs less than an executive car or people carrier. Nighttime pickups may carry a small supplement. There are no hidden fees added once your booking is confirmed, and the price agreed at booking is the price charged, regardless of traffic delays along the way.
Yes, transfers run around the clock, including early morning and late night pickups. Drivers are scheduled in advance for flight times, so there’s no need to worry about availability at unusual hours. Flight tracking is used automatically, meaning delayed or early landings are accounted for without needing to contact anyone. This is especially useful for first flights out of Manchester Airport.
Airportrips covers towns including Nairn, Forres, Alness, Invergordon, and Beauly, alongside the wider Caithness area. Bookings to these locations work the same way as city transfers, with a fixed fare confirmed ahead of travel. This is useful for visitors staying outside central Inverness, since local pickup options in smaller towns can otherwise be limited or unpredictable.
Yes, people carriers are available for groups up to 8 passengers, alongside estate cars for smaller groups with extra luggage. Vehicle type can be chosen during booking based on group size. This avoids splitting a group across multiple cars for the same journey, keeping travel simpler and often more cost-effective than booking separate transfers.
All flights are tracked automatically once a booking is confirmed. If a flight lands early, drivers adjust their arrival accordingly. If it’s delayed, the driver waits without charging extra for the wait, within a reasonable window. This removes the stress of trying to notify a driver manually about schedule changes on the day of travel.
Yes, a dispatch line is available for anyone who prefers speaking to someone directly rather than booking through a website. This suits last-minute bookings or travellers unfamiliar with online forms. Phone bookings are confirmed the same way as online ones, with driver details sent by text or email once everything is arranged.
Yes, half-day and full-day tours can be booked separately from airport transfers, covering popular Highland sights such as Loch Ness and Culloden Battlefield. The same driver waits at each stop, so there’s no need to arrange separate transport between locations. This option suits visitors wanting to explore beyond Inverness without self-driving unfamiliar roads.
