What you'll see

In the booking form you’ll provide details such as: arrival airport (or hotel), date, time, number of passengers, how many pieces of luggage, and the hotel or drop-off location in Lucea. As part of booking you choose whether it is one-way or round trip (if that option exists). After booking you will receive a confirmation voucher from Viator with all the vehicle transfer details.

Pre-Trip Communication
Before your arrival the operator (listed on the voucher) often tracks your flight (if from airport) or confirms your pickup time. If it is a hotel-to-airport return transfer, your pickup time from the hotel may be scheduled in advance (for example: 2.5 hours before departure for some services). Make sure you have checked your hotel name, pickup point and any special instructions (for example where the driver will meet you).

Arrival Pickup
Airport arrival option: After you clear immigration and customs, you exit via a designated door and look for the driver or representative holding a sign. For example: Exit the first door on the right at the information desk, go outside and turn right; look for the greeter behind a barricade holding the company sign. Hotel pickup (for departure): On the return when you depart, you will meet the driver in the hotel lobby at the specified time. You should be ready and waiting in the lobby at least 10 minutes prior, as the driver may only wait for a short time. The driver assists with your luggage, confirms the booking details (names, number of passengers, destination) and helps you into the vehicle.

The Journey to Lucea
You travel in a private (or shared, depending on what you booked) air-conditioned vehicle. For the Lucea route you might have booked a “private transfer” to a hotel in the Lucea area. The driver drives directly (or with minimal stops) from the pickup point to your drop-off location. The ride will depend on traffic, route, how far you are travelling; be prepared for some scenic driving depending on where you’re coming from. During the ride you can relax — often bottled water is provided, sometimes the driver may offer local insights or answer questions.

Arrival Drop off at Lucea
The driver brings you to the specified drop-off point (your hotel in Lucea, or another location in that area) as you booked. Luggage is unloaded and you are helped from the vehicle to your accommodation entrance or designated drop off point. If your fare was not fully prepaid (depending on the booking), you will settle any remaining payment (though many of these Viator transfers are prepaid). The service ends when you step into your hotel or drop-off point and your driver has checked that you’ve got everything you need.
