What is a meet and greet pick-up?

A meet and greet is an airport (or station) pick-up where the driver parks, walks to the arrivals hall and waits with a name board, then escorts the passenger to the car. It costs the operator parking and time, so it is priced above a kerbside pick-up, often as a fixed add-on.

How does it work on the day?

The driver tracks the flight, parks in the short-stay car park around landing time, waits in arrivals with the name board, helps with luggage and walks the passenger to the car. Agree in advance how long waiting is free after landing.

How do operators price it?

A fixed meet and greet charge on top of the transfer price covers parking and the walk, plus waiting charged after a free period. Work out a full price with the airport transfer price calculator.

What makes it go smoothly?

Flight tracking, so the pick-up moves when the flight does (flight tracking), a clear name board, and a phone number the passenger can reach.

Frequently asked questions

Is meet and greet the same as a kerbside pick-up?

No. Kerbside means the passenger walks out to the car; meet and greet means the driver comes in to meet them.

When should waiting time start?

Usually a set time after the flight lands, often 30 to 60 minutes for international arrivals; say so on the booking.
