Port access

Port security decides where a car may go. Put the gate, berth or office you have been given, the vessel name and a phone number in the booking; the driver stops at the point the port allows and you complete the security procedure as instructed by the port or your agent.

Crew changes

For a crew member flying in, add the flight number: the driver follows the flight and waits in arrivals with the name on a sign, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free. Several crew members on the same flight can travel together in a van (six passengers) or a minibus (up to 16), at one price for the vehicle.
