Troubleshooting Airport Transfers

Before Your Arrival

Verify your pickup details:

  • Driver name and contact number
  • Meeting point (inside arrivals, outside, specific terminal)
  • Vehicle description or sign they will hold
  • Expected timing after landing

When You Land

  1. Turn on your phone - Connect to airport WiFi if needed
  2. Check for messages - Look for any updates from the clinic or driver
  3. Call/message your driver - Confirm they are at the meeting point
  4. Allow time - Flights can arrive early or late; drivers account for this

If You Cannot Find Your Driver

Step 1: Wait and search (15-20 minutes)

  • Stay near the designated meeting point
  • Look for someone holding a sign with your name
  • Walk through the arrivals hall slowly

Step 2: Contact the driver

  • Call the number provided
  • Send a WhatsApp message with your location
  • Share a photo of where you are standing

Step 3: Contact the clinic

  • Use the clinic's emergency or WhatsApp number
  • Provide your location and flight details
  • They can coordinate with the driver or arrange alternative transport

Step 4: If still unresolved

  • Contact GetClinic support
  • Consider using a licensed airport taxi (keep the receipt)
  • Document everything for potential reimbursement

Tips for Smooth Transfers

  • Have important numbers saved offline on your phone
  • Carry a portable charger
  • Take screenshots of your booking confirmation
  • Note the meeting point in advance
  • Have cash for emergencies (local currency and dollars/euros)

Common Reasons for Delays

  • Flight arrived at a different terminal
  • Traffic delays
  • Driver waiting at wrong exit/area
  • Miscommunication about timing

Pro tip: Send your driver your flight details (airline, flight number, arrival time) before your trip so they can track your flight in real-time.
