Airport collection: the wider picture

Build the pickup around the time you expect to finish baggage collection, then check what happens if your flight changes. Keep the reservation reference and contact number available offline. At handover, take time to understand the car, record its condition and confirm where it must be returned. Opening arrangements, waiting periods and charges must be checked against your selected booking rather than assumed from airport operating hours.
