Luggage policy is one of the top causes of transfer friction.

Typical baggage categories

  1. Cabin bag only
  2. Standard checked suitcase
  3. Oversize/special item (ski, bike, instruments)

Practical policy differences

Service type Standard bag Oversize item
Shuttle coach Usually accepted within limit May require extra fee or refusal
Private transfer Flexible with pre-notice Usually possible with suitable vehicle
Taxi Depends on trunk capacity Often limited

Oversize success formula

  • Declare dimensions before booking.
  • Request written confirmation.
  • Arrive early to load properly.

Do not assume that "sports bag" means the same thing to every operator.

Quick self-check

  • Do I know exact item dimensions?
  • Did I request a vehicle class that fits all pieces?
  • Did I keep fragile tags visible?

Bottom line

When traveling with special luggage, certainty comes from pre-approval, not from assumptions made at the curb.
