Airport Meet-and-Greet, Explained

Meet-and-greet is the difference between landing and immediately knowing where to go, versus wandering a terminal looking for your ride. Here’s exactly what it includes.

Inside the terminal

Your chauffeur parks, walks in, and waits at baggage claim (or the customs exit for international arrivals) holding a name sign. They help with your luggage and walk you to the vehicle.

Curbside, by contrast

Curbside pickup is quicker to arrange but means meeting at the designated black-car zone outside. It’s a great option when you’re traveling light and know the airport.

When meet-and-greet is worth it

• International arrivals and red-eyes
• Traveling with kids, elderly parents, or lots of luggage
• First time at an unfamiliar airport
• VIP or client pickups where the first impression matters
