Airport to hotel + car timing checklist

Use this phone-first checklist to align pickup, check-in, and rental car handoff with your flight arrival.

Timing checklist (fill in before you call)
  • Arrival reality: planned arrival time + buffer for baggage + immigration (if applicable).
  • Transfer window: when the hotel check-in actually starts and when you can request early baggage holding.
  • Car pickup handoff: rental desk location, typical shuttle time, and counter wait time.
  • Parking + drop-off: if you need temporary parking at the hotel, confirm best approach times.
  • Change plan: what to do if the flight is delayed by 30–90 minutes.
FAQ
How much buffer should I add?
Start with 60–90 minutes depending on baggage needs and airport complexity.
Does a “cheap car” option ever cost more later?
Yes. Tight timing can cause shuttle/counter delays that cost you hotel and transfer time. Ask for total value.
