How do I book an airport transfer for children traveling alone?
Booking a child transfer for an unaccompanied minor is straightforward. Our kid transport service ensures safe, monitored travel from airport to destination. Simply provide flight details, child information, and designate an authorized receiver. Use our chat widget to start the process: an AI agent will guide you through eligibility and required steps, then securely collect everything needed for your booking.
Understanding Unaccompanied Minor Transfers
An unaccompanied minor (UM) is a child traveling alone, typically between the ages of 5 and 17, though airline policies vary. Our child transfer service meets the specific needs of these young travelers, providing dedicated drivers trained in child safety and communication. We coordinate directly with the airline’s UM desk, meet the child at the gate or arrivals hall (as permitted), and ensure handover only to a pre-authorized adult. This same attention applies to any kid transport you book with us.
Step-by-Step: How to Book a Child Transfer
- Start a chat on our website to launch the booking assistant.
- Share flight details – arrival date, airline, flight number, and scheduled time.
- Provide child information – name, age, any allergies or special needs.
- Designate the receiver – name, relationship, and contact details of the person meeting the child.
- Confirm and pay securely in-chat. The AI agent will walk you through each step and flag any missing requirements before finalizing the booking.
Safety Protocols for Kid Transport
Every child transfer includes multiple safety layers:
- Vetted drivers: Background-checked, trained in child first aid, and identifiable by uniform and photo ID.
- Live tracking: You and the receiver get a real-time GPS tracking link until handover is complete.
- Airline coordination: We check the UM service status with the airline to adjust for delays or gate changes.
- Strict release rules: The driver requires photo ID from the authorized receiver and verbal confirmation from the child before release.

No forms to hunt down, no phone queues.
FAQ
What are the requirements for unaccompanied minors?
Requirements vary by airline, but generally a child must be 5-17 years old and booked under the airline’s UM service. Our service needs at minimum: a completed child transfer booking, the flight number, the child’s date of birth, and the name and contact of the authorized adult receiver. Some routes may require additional documentation (e.g., notarized consent letters for international travel); our AI agent will prompt you if these apply to your booking.

All drivers undergo thorough background checks and child-first-aid training. Live GPS tracking is shared with both the sender and the authorized receiver. Handover is strictly controlled: the driver verifies the receiver’s photo ID and confirms with the child before release.
