# Rental car or airport transfer? Match your plans

PUJ RIDE travel guide

## Direct answer

Choose around the holiday you actually expect to have. A rental car provides independent transport across several days; a private transfer covers a specific journey without collecting, parking or returning a vehicle.

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.

## Compare the full rental cost

Read the rental terms for insurance, deposits, fuel, extra drivers and return arrangements. Check parking at your hotel and decide whether you are comfortable driving the planned routes. Compare those costs with the transfers or outings you will realistically use.

## A mixed plan can work

You can reserve the airport ride and decide separately about a rental later in the stay. For a custom day out or another hotel transfer, request a separate quote. A regular airport fare does not include a vehicle available throughout your holiday.
