If you are organising a congress, conference or corporate meeting, ensuring that attendees arrive on time and hassle-free has a direct impact on the success of your event. Here is what you need to know when planning event transfers.

Types of Event Transfers

  • Congresses and Conferences: Mass transport of hundreds of attendees from multiple locations
  • Corporate Meetings: Personalised meet-and-greet and luxury vehicles for VIP guests
  • Airport – Hotel: Meet-and-greet service coordinated around flight schedules
  • Shuttle Service: Regular scheduled transport to and from the event venue

Planning Strategy

Event transfer checklist

  • Confirm attendee numbers and arrival times well in advance
  • Create separate vehicle plans for VIP and standard attendees
  • Reserve at least 15 % spare vehicle capacity
  • Coordinate meet-and-greet staff at the airport
  • Establish an emergency communication plan

Ways to Reduce Costs

A few strategies to keep your event transfer budget under control:

  • Group attendees arriving at similar times to reduce the number of vehicles
  • Book early to avoid peak-season pricing
  • Negotiate a bulk-rate agreement
  • Use shuttle services to lower the per-person cost

VIP Services

Luxury vehicles, professional chauffeurs and personalised meet-and-greet services can be arranged for keynote speakers, executives and strategic guests. Touches like name boards, complimentary beverages and in-vehicle Wi-Fi leave a lasting impression on your guests.

A successful corporate event demands meticulous transfer planning. Partnering with a professional transfer provider takes the quality of your organisation to the next level.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is advisable to set aside an adequate buffer of backup vehicles against last-minute changes and increases in participant numbers. The right buffer is determined by the size of the event, the spread of participant arrivals and the number of routes.

Separate vehicle plans should be created for VIP and standard participants, with special welcome services and comfort standards provided for VIP guests.

Volume pricing agreements should be requested, routes should be optimised, and costs can be brought down by planning the vehicles to match the number of participants.
