Can I book a cruise terminal transfer?

Does CabMatch charge customers a booking fee?

CabMatch does not charge customers a booking fee for comparing or requesting quotes. The price you see from an operator is the price you pay for the journey as described.

Does CabMatch always show the cheapest quote first?

No. CabMatch uses a fair rotation system to present quotes from participating operators. Customers can sort quotes by price if they wish to view the lowest-priced option first, but price sorting is not applied by default.
