Private transfer, grand taxi or bus: which fits?
All three get you to your destination; they differ mostly in how the journey works.
| What changes | Private transfer by Darbye Rides | Grand taxi | Bus or shared shuttle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pickup and drop-off | Door to door: picked up at the agreed time, dropped at the address you choose | Leaves from a taxi station, often once the car is full | Fixed timetable and stops; the last leg to your accommodation is up to you |
| Vehicle | Reserved for your group only, from 3 to 17 seats depending on group size | A seat in a car that is often shared with other travellers | Shared with other passengers |
| Luggage | Vehicle chosen for your bags: each class lists its seats and bag capacity | Limited space, shared with other travellers’ bags | Hold or racks shared with other passengers |
| Price and payment | Fixed quote confirmed before you book. Nothing to pay when you book. You pay your driver at pickup, before the trip starts. | Fare agreed with the driver at departure | Ticket price, per person |
A grand taxi or a bus can suit a solo traveller with a flexible schedule. A private transfer makes more sense when you travel as a group, with luggage, after a flight or to a fixed schedule.
How booking works
- Fill in the booking form with your pickup address, destination and passenger count.
- We confirm by WhatsApp or email within 2 hours, with the fixed quote and your driver's contact details.
- On the day, your driver is waiting at the agreed time — nothing to pay when you book, you pay your driver at pickup, before the trip starts.
