Airport Taxi or Shuttle Service
There are several companies providing taxi and shuttle services from the airport and many of them have stands at the airport. However, most of the stands are not open outside of the busiest times, so we recommend booking your transport before you travel. Airport taxis and shuttle buses can be booked privately for your travel group or a slightly cheaper alternative is to select the option where you share your transport vehicle with others going to the same resort as you if there are any such persons.

Car Rental
The largest car rental companies have stands at the airport where you can rent a car on location during the slower seasons. However, during the busiest months of about June to September, it is a good idea to reserve your holiday car in advance to make sure that you have a car, because there aren't enough cars for everyone during the popular summer season.
