To avoid the worst of the traffic, aim to travel outside the morning and evening rush hours, especially on weekdays. At the airport's pickup area, it’s best to confirm your driver’s details in advance. Expect a designated meeting point in the terminal, which can sometimes get busy with other travelers. A local tip: be mindful of the various terminal signs, as they can be confusing for first-time visitors.

Choosing a pre-booked private transfer saves you time and offers peace of mind.
