No, it is per vehicle. Two people or eight people in the same minibus pay the same fare, which often makes group travel good value.

Some airports, bridges and roads have parking, drop-off or toll charges, and these change. We’ll tell you before you book if any of them apply to your journey.

Only a change to the trip, such as an extra stop, a different destination, a lot of extra waiting at a non-airport pickup, or more luggage than the car can take. We tell you the cost before we carry on.

Yes. Every child, including babies, needs a seat, so include them in your passenger number.

Yes, if we know in advance. Add a note with what you are bringing. Long items usually need an estate, a people carrier or a minibus.
