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.
Classification
There are few transfer classifications based on
- route:
- From/to the transport hub: Services provided to enable travel between accommodations and nearby transport hubs, such as airports, train stations, or bus depots.

The most popular tourist transfers are individual economy class transfers (about 52,3% of all orders)[citation needed].
