An Airport Transfer is usually the safest and most economical method of transportation upon arrival at the destination. After a long journey, lots of luggage and being unfamiliar with new surroundings, being picked up by a chauffeur and taken to the residence/hotel, is both convenient and welcoming.

One of the benefits of an Airport Transfer is that there are many size vehicles available. Based on family size and belongings, the appropriate size vehicle is arranged for comfort and safety.

Yes, our suppliers have child seats available when pre-arranged.

Yes, gratuity is already included in the price.

Yes. Pets must be placed in their crates for the duration of the ride. The cleanliness of the vehicles is an important part of the service. If the vehicle requires cleaning, there will be an additional charge.

Authorization requests should be received 14 days prior, to ensure all arrangements are made in time and that the correct size vehicle is available.

Yes. Extra stops can be pre-arranged. If an extra stop is needed during the ride, additional charges apply. This is the reason final charges are determined upon service completion.

Extra stops – Extra waiting time – Parking fees – Late cancellations

Our transfer supplier and the driver will track the flight and its arrival time at the final destination.

Fast Track Meet & Greet is an airport service that allows for an easy and stress-free journey through the airport, starting from the curbside to the gate or vice-versa. Having an experienced greeter can help with getting to the gate in time through assisting with language barriers, issues such as delays or cancellations and special requests.

The airport greeter can work alongside a porter to assist with luggage, though they are not allowed to touch any bags. It’s advisable to add a porter to the Meet & Greet service when traveling with excess luggage.

The greeter will:
• Wait at the arrival gate with a name sign
• Assist through Immigration & Customs
• Assist through the baggage areas and Arrivals
• Liaise with the driver and ensure a smooth handover

Most airport locations have car seats, based on availability. Non-airport locations do not. Where car seats are available, it’s at an additional cost. It tends to be more economical to purchase a car seat locally.

Return the rental car at the same time as pickup to avoid extra charges. Late returns incur hourly fees for up to 3 hours, then a daily rate. After-hours returns using a key drop box end the agreement the next business day, but the renter is responsible for the car until officially checked in by the rental company staff.

The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as when it was picked up. If not, the cost of refueling will be at fuel rate decided by the rental company.

A valid driver’s license and a credit card are required. In some cases, also a passport. If the home country driver's license is in a language other than English and the letters are not English (i.e., alphabet is not an extended Latin-based alphabet like German or Spanish but is Russian, Japanese, Arabic, etc.) an International Driver's Permit (IDP) is required.

Using the rental car for a driver’s license test is at the discretion of the rental office.

Leasing a car can be a daunting task for expats without knowledge of the local auto market. Questions may include what vehicles are common, what documents are required, what does it cost, how do I obtain auto insurance, how long does it take, where to go to find a lease, for example.

In addition, it can be challenging to obtain lease approval without local credit history. ExpatRide overcomes this by working around the local credit system.

These are the reasons why ExpatRide was established. We have since become the leading supplier of leasing services worldwide.

Our leasing programs keep the expats’ needs in mind. They are designed to save time, hassle, and money. There is no need to spend evenings or weekends looking for a car at local dealerships. Tailored quotes are sent via email, to be reviewed in the comfort of home or office!

In addition to locating a suitable vehicle, they also complete all tasks from start to finish – including setting up finance agreement, registration, license plate coordination, etc.

As part of the lease agreement, usually the lessee is responsible for servicing the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s minimum recommendations and as requested by the manufacturer in connection with any recall campaign.

In most countries, any person named on the auto insurance policy, can also drive the vehicle.

This depends on the country and the type of lease agreement signed. In most cases, there will be a penalty, or the remaining months left on the lease will have to be paid.

The monthly payment is set up to be paid directly from the lessee’s local bank account to the finance company. In some countries, the monthly payment can be direct billed by ExpatRide to the employer/RMC.

An armored vehicle is a car, truck, or other vehicle modified to withstand attacks using bulletproof and blast-resistant materials. These vehicles are commonly used for security purposes by the military, law enforcement, and civilians.

Armoring a vehicle involves reinforcing the body with ballistic-resistant materials like steel and composite armor, installing bulletproof glass, and reinforcing vital parts like fuel tanks and engines. The level of armoring varies depending on the threat level.

Armoring levels are standardized by various bodies (like the European CEN or the US NIJ) and range from levels that can withstand small handguns (Level I, II) to those that can resist high-powered rifles and explosions (Level IV, V).

Technically, most vehicles can be armored, but the suitability depends on the vehicle's size, weight capacity, and structural integrity. Larger vehicles like SUVs are commonly armored due to their ability to handle the additional weight.

The cost varies widely, starting from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands, depending on the vehicle type and level of armoring.

In most countries, owning an armored vehicle is legal for civilians, but regulations can vary. Some regions might require special permits or restrict the level of armoring.

Armoring adds significant weight to a vehicle. Depending on the level of protection, it can add anywhere from 500 to 3,000 pounds or more.

Yes, the added weight from armoring can affect acceleration, braking, and fuel efficiency. Armored vehicles often have upgraded engines, brakes, and suspension to compensate for the additional weight.

Armored vehicles require more frequent maintenance, especially for components under increased stress due to added weight, such as brakes and suspension systems. Regular checks of the armor integrity are also recommended.
