If you’re looking to amp up your business and deliver an exceptional travel experience for your clients, private transfers should be at the top of your list. This often-overlooked service isn’t just a convenience; it’s a game-changer for creating unforgettable journeys while boosting your commissions. Here’s why private transfers are essential and how they can help you build long-term client loyalty.

(P.S.  Stay until the end for information on a brand new feature designed to make booking transfers even easier.)

 

  1. Reliable and Stress-Free Travel

Private transfers ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey for your clients. Whether it’s an airport pickup or a ride to their hotel, this service guarantees peace of mind:

  • Flight Tracking: Drivers monitor flight statuses, ensuring timely pickups even if flights are delayed or rescheduled.
  • Flexible Refund Policies: Our flight-friendly refund policies accommodate changes, giving clients confidence in their bookings.
  • No Wait, No Hassle: A dedicated driver will be ready and waiting, eliminating the stress of navigating unfamiliar transit systems or unreliable rideshare services.

"My clients turn to me for ease and convenience, trusting me to secure reliable transportation at competitive prices." — Gaby Lieberman, Gold Level Advisor with Prestige Travel

 

 


  1. A Premium Start (and Finish) to Every Trip

Private transfers create an exceptional first and last impression, adding a touch of luxury to every journey:

  • Personalized Comfort: Clients enjoy door-to-door service tailored to their schedule and preferences.
  • Seamless Experience: No detours, no delays—just a direct, stress-free ride to their destination.
  • Flexible Options: Choose from economy to premium vehicle classes to suit any travel style.

“Clients are frequently complimentary of their drivers, and especially appreciate the ability to receive communications often directly from their driver/company as the service period approaches.” Loretta Lambreth, Platinum Level Advisor with Take Time to Travel

 

 

  1. A Simple Way to Boost Your Revenue

Transfers account for 40% of bookings on Project Expedition, making them a key revenue driver for advisors:

  • Higher Commissions: Transfers are an easy upsell that increases your earnings on every trip.
  • Gateway to Bigger Sales: Clients often start with transfers and return for tours and excursions, opening the door to additional bookings.
  • Save Time With Referral Links: Share your referral link to our transfer searchpage with clients. When they book their own transfers, you’ll earn commission for the sale without extra effort.

"Many of my clients start with transfers, and once they experience the seamless service, they come back for tours and excursions." — Gaby Lieberman

 

 


  1. A New Way To Modify

Flexibility is key, and our brand new modification process for transfers ensures that changes are handled seamlessly:

  • Effortless Changes: If a client’s plans shift, our system works behind the scenes to find and confirm a new transfer that meets their needs.
  • Minimal Hassle for Agents: For price changes under $20, we’ll cover the difference; for increases over $20, agents are notified immediately for approval.
  • Client Confidence: Partial refunds are processed for price drops, ensuring fairness and transparency.

"They recently added a feature where we can adjust the pick-up times if needed (i.e. if there was an airline schedule change or something like that). Makes my life easier!" — Leila Coe, Platinum Agent with Eat Drink Vacations

 

 

  1. A High Quality Service That Sells Itself

When you position transfers as a premium offering, they become an easy sell. Highlight their convenience, quality, and reliability to clients who value a seamless travel experience. Here’s how to make transfers stand out:

  • Emphasize Quality: We only offer operators that meet our strict criteria for safety, professionalism, and quality. We consistently evaluate performance to ensure standards are being met. 
  • Showcase Convenience: Stress the time saved and peace of mind compared to taxis, Ubers, or public transit.
  • Use as an Entry Point: Introduce hesitant clients to Project Expedition’s services with transfers, paving the way for future bookings.

"It’s reassuring to know I can facilitate transfers worldwide, even in the most remote locations. If something isn’t available on the site, a quick message to the customer service chat connects me with friendly, customer-focused agents who promptly address requests." — Gaby Lieberman
