# Touchdown is not your pickup time

PUJ RIDE travel guide

## Direct answer

Landing time is the start of the airport arrival process. Leaving the aircraft, entry formalities, baggage collection and customs all happen before you reach the driver meeting area.

Prices are one-way, per vehicle, taxes included, 1–6 passengers. 7–14 passengers move to a van: Standard +20 / VIP +40 on local zones. Private only — no shared seats, no night surcharge, no prepayment to hold. Rate list updated September 2026.

## Avoid a stopwatch estimate

Queues and bag delivery vary between flights. A fixed promise about minutes from landing can mislead you, especially with checked luggage or extra assistance. Use your flight details for the booking and let us know when you are through with your bags.

## Save the meeting instructions

Keep the pickup contact and terminal information on your phone before departure. If baggage is delayed or you cannot find the exit, send a short update when possible. Plan restaurant bookings or activities after arrival with enough flexibility for the airport process.
