Faqs

Are the expressway tolls and late-night fees included in the fixed rate?

No, the fixed rate only covers the base fare. Expressway tolls (which will be used as a rule), the late-night/early-morning surcharge, and the airport parking fee for pick-ups are all separate charges that must be paid in addition to the fixed fare.

What are the rules for cancelling a transfer reservation?

For Standard, Minivan, and High-Grade vehicles, cancellation is free if made at least 3 to 4 hours before the service time. For the Jumbo vehicle, cancellation must be made before 5:00 PM on the day prior to travel to avoid a 100% cancellation fee.

Why can’t I specify a pick-up time immediately after my flight lands at KIX or ITM?

Due to restrictions on airport taxi lane entry, there is a mandatory waiting time requirement before you can specify a pick-up. At KIX, this is 40 minutes for international and 20 minutes for domestic flights; at ITM, it is 20 minutes for all flights.

What happens if we miss our flight due to traffic congestion on the way to the airport?

There is no compensation for damages caused by traffic or natural disasters. If there is a risk of missing your flight, the driver will discuss taking an alternative route (fixed fare applies) or terminating the contract at the nearest station (metered fare applies).

Can I book a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?

Yes, wheelchair-accessible vehicles (Sienta and Serena) are available, but they have limited capacity and must be reserved by the day before your use. Please note that, depending on your wheelchair type, there may be headroom restrictions.
