Firstly, the terms of transportation (as a rule, taxis are ready to wait for the client at Moscow airports – or wait at the entrance to take them to the airport). Secondly, pay attention to the pricing of services and the specifics of transfer services.
Of course, calling a taxi today does not pose any difficulties. There are quite many taxi services, and they all compete for customers. However, if you need to get to the airport, or have a taxi meet you from a flight, some distinctive features arise.
1. 'To the airport' or 'from the airport' – it matters!
It is not so common to find pleasant rates when ordering a taxi 'to the airport'. At the same time, a cheap taxi to the airport will most likely provide the same level of comfort and service as a more expensive option. It is optimal to choose services that offer standard rates or clearly specify the cost of a trip from each district.
2. Hidden surcharges – a serious issue.
It is difficult to find a truly cheap taxi to the airport, as there are special offers with special prices. Such 'surcharges' are especially noticeable, such as for comfort (for example, it may be called 'Comfort' tariff), for increased vehicle capacity, for more passenger seats (minivans), for business class car, for meeting the client – with a certain waiting interval or with per-minute billing for the entire waiting period.
After this, few passengers will not be surprised by the increased price tag for transportation.
3. Transfer – or 'regular order'?
As a rule, a transfer is initially somewhat more expensive. On the other hand, the carrier undertakes to wait for the client and provide the service in full – so you can be confident in the quality of the service and that you will definitely get from home to the airport or from the airport to the desired address.
4. Does parking cost money?
It may well turn out that not only waiting or farewell are paid 'out of the client's pocket'. Parking payment (in good companies – by agreement with the client) is paid by the customer, not the performer.
5. Promptness vs delivery time: who wins?
Prompt car delivery is a promise of most taxi services. On the other hand, a quite economical solution is to have a taxi delivered at a specific time. This allows you to plan your departure and optimally allocate time before the flight.
