Hello fellow Hosts. Does anyone here offer airport pick up service? If so, how and what do you charge. Thanks!
@Vaneet0 I offer it for free since the airport is only 15 min drive away and I offer it to guests staying more than 3 days. I don't write it down on Airbnb though, it saves me from explaining to people staying less than 3 days why I don't pick them up and they won't be disappointed and it is a nice surprise foe the other ones when i text them that I will be waiting for them. And since I am in the city center i give them a little tour untill we get to the apartments.
@Vaneet0 How much to charge would totally depend on how far you are from the airport and how much a taxi would cost by comparison. Maybe charge 50-60% of what an Uber or cab would cost? Also, as Anna said, it might be better not to state it in your listing, but to let guests know when they book that it's available for $XX should they want it. That way, if for some reason you aren't able to do a pick-up (car's at the mechanic's, you're busy with something else), you won't have guests complaining that something that was offered in your ad wasn't provided.
Or state in your listing that it may be available for $XX by pre-arrangement with the host.
In Seoul, no one really does airport pickups any more 🙂 there are plenty of taxis or limo services available as well as great public transportation options; buses, subway, express train.
If a guest wanted pick up service, I'd be happy to point them towards a limo service that would drop them on my doorstep.
I did that like 2 times when I first started hosting it was a nightmare... tell em to use an Uber. It wasnt worth my time.
