Why book the private Navigator
- Someone waiting for you. Your driver is outside arrivals with your name on a sign, so you skip the taxi line after a long flight.
- One car for the whole group. Up to 6 guests and 6 suitcases ride together: no splitting into two taxis, no bags on laps.
- A full-size luxury SUV. A black 2020 Lincoln Navigator with leather seats, air conditioning and room to stretch out, sitting higher on the road. Licensed and insured.
- Price fixed before you fly. One price per vehicle in US dollars, paid online. No cash, no surprises at the curb.
- Door to door. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at your hotel or villa door.
- Less than you’d think per person. For a group of 6, $95 works out to under $16 each (plus the booking fee).
