TYPES OF CARRIER ON TRANSFERFIX

There are three type of carrier on TransferFix, but not all routes have all types of carrier

SHARED TRANSFERS

Shared transfers are usually provided with a mini-bus with 7 or 8 seats but a few carriers have vehicles with more capacity.
The prices are considerably lower than a private transfer, but you will most likely be sharing the minibus with total strangers.
Most shared services are door to door, but we are seeing more low-cost hybrid versions of the shared service, where the passenger has to be at a pick-up point at a designated time.
The advantage of the Pick-up Point service is even lower prices.
