Faqs

What is included in the fixed fare, and what are the separate charges?

The fixed fare covers the distance charge to your zone in Kyoto. Separate charges include expressway/toll road fees, a late-night/early-morning surcharge, airport parking fees for pick-ups, and a time-specified fee if you book a set time with a Standard or Jumbo vehicle.

What vehicles are recommended for a large family with heavy luggage?

For maximum passenger and luggage capacity, the Jumbo vehicles (Hiace/Caravan) are highly recommended, as they can comfortably accommodate up to 9 people and up to 9 large suitcases, ensuring a stress-free transfer for your entire group.

Why do I need to reserve a pick-up time well after my flight’s scheduled arrival?

Due to airport taxi lane regulations at KIX and ITM, drivers cannot enter the reserved area immediately. You must schedule your pick-up time at least 20 to 40 minutes after landing to allow for baggage claim and to ensure the driver can meet you efficiently.

What is the penalty if I miss my scheduled departure transfer from Kyoto?

For Standard vehicles, a small fee is applied if you cancel 10 minutes or less before the reserved time. However, if you cancel after the reservation time, a 100% cancellation fee of the fixed fare is typically applied, underscoring the need for timely changes.

Are there luxury or accessible options available within the fixed-rate service?

Yes, the fleet includes High-Grade luxury sedans (like the BMW i7) and wagons (Alphard HV), which can be requested for a premium fee. Additionally, wheelchair-accessible Serena minivans are available to ensure comfortable travel for passengers with mobility needs.
