Transfer (travel)

In travel, a transfer is local travel arranged as part of an itinerary, typically airport to hotel and hotel to hotel.[1] Transfer has some features that distinguish it from ground transportation alternatives. These features are meeting directly in a transport hub, the opportunity to choose a car class and additional options like a baby seat.
Many travel providers have Airport Transfers available as an add-on during the booking process for added customer convenience.
