Do sports people need a tourist transfer?

Today, some sports organizations don't get enough investments, so athletes have to pay for trips to various competitions in other cities themselves. Needless to say that sports clubs, especially in small towns, do not have their own transport, so ordering transfers, in this case, seems quite reasonable.

Do sports people need a tourist transfer?
Why would your clients be delighted to have a sport transfer?
  1. Guaranteed place for equipment. You just need to leave a comment in the booking with the exact description of the equipment: what exactly and in what quantity customers are carrying with them.
  2. You can order transport for any convenient time so you will not be late for the competition. In addition, the driver plans the route before the trip: chooses the shortest and safest way, takes into account the traffic situation during the upcoming trip.
  3. No need to change on the way. The bus or train will take you only to the station, and then you will have to change to another transport or go on foot. Very often sports venues are located in remote areas so this won't be convenient. Athletes will have to unload/load rather big luggage every time they get off/on transport.
  4. Travel in comfortable conditions. It is very important for an athlete to come to competitions in perfect shape: healthy, refreshed, calm. However, it will be difficult to do this by public transport.
    Why?

  • Firstly, it's not possible to regulate the temperature on the bus or train. As a result, the person can catch a cold before the event. On the contrary, the transfer driver must turn off the AC upon the first request of the client.
  • Secondly, a trip by public transport involves other fellow travelers. Among them may be naughty children, annoying passengers, snoring neighbors, and so on. Add to this the need to make several transfers, and it will become clear that a relaxed trip should not be expected.
With all these advantages, an individual transfer may turn out to be cheaper than public transport in terms of price for one passenger. If you also consider carrier companies with their own fleet, keep in mind that they have significant drawbacks:
  • Hourly payment.
  • It is inconvenient to compare prices for different classes of transport types since the cost is calculated by the company's manager upon request.
The transfer cost, on the contrary, is known right away. Kiwitaxi's website displays a list of available transport classes and their prices for each route. When selecting additional services, the cost is recalculated automatically. So you can safely and without a haste choose a suitable and comfortable transport at a good price. In addition, transfer's cost is fixed. It is not affected by the number of passengers, the amount of baggage, the time of departure or traffic. In Kiwitaxi, the price can include toll roads and ferry costs if necessary.

When selling transfers to athletes or sports fans, the most important thing is that the client comes to you with a clear demand. This means a guaranteed profit with a good commission because it is a group trip. In Kiwitaxi, for example, agents earn a 10–15% commission from each booking.
