How to Book a Japan Airport Transfer: What to Prepare and How to Fill In the Form

· Updated

What does the Narita or Haneda airport transfer booking form ask for? A field-by-field guide: flight number, passengers and luggage, vehicle, driver language, child seats and extra stops, with tax-included Tokyo prices.

Booking an airport transfer is simple, but a complete form lets customer service confirm the quote and arrange the vehicle faster. This guide follows the fields on the booking page and explains what to prepare for each.

Choose the service type first

The booking page has two tabs: Airport Transfer and Charter Tour. For a ride between an airport and your hotel, in either direction, choose Airport Transfer.

The form, field by field

Field What to enter
Name, phone, email Use contact details that work once you land in Japan, so customer service and the driver can reach you.
Passengers The actual number travelling, used to check that the vehicle has enough seats.
Departure airport Narita, Haneda or another airport.
Destination / hotel The hotel name is best; add the address if needed.
Preferred vehicle ECO, Alphard, Hiace and so on, chosen by passengers and luggage.
Date and time For a pickup, your expected arrival time; for a drop-off, the time you want to leave.
Preferred driver language Chinese (Mandarin), Cantonese, English, Japanese or Any.
Extras Child safety seat, booster seat, extra stops.
Notes Flight number, luggage count, special requests.

Passengers and luggage decide the vehicle

Pricing is per vehicle, not per person. Choose by seats and bags:

  • ECO: 5 seats, 4 bags.
  • Alphard: 6 seats, 6 bags.
  • Hiace: 10 seats, 9 bags.

One-way within Tokyo, tax included. Tolls and parking are included, and the price is the same across Tokyo:

From ECO Alphard Hiace
Haneda on request ¥15,000 ¥17,000
Narita on request ¥22,000 ¥27,000

If you have many bags or bulky items, say so in the notes and customer service will help check the vehicle. For more on each route, see Haneda to Tokyo and Narita to Tokyo.

Flight number and arrival time

For a pickup, put your flight number and expected arrival time in the notes. The driver meets you with a name sign, and the first 90 minutes of waiting are free. If your flight changes significantly, tell customer service as soon as you can.

Late-night rides

A flat ¥4,000 applies from 22:00 to 06:00, whatever the vehicle. For example, Haneda ECO is on request + ¥4,000 = on request. Our service runs 24 hours.

Child seats and extra stops

  • Child safety seats and booster seats are available: up to 3 child seats and 2 booster seats per booking.
  • Want to shop or eat on the way? Let us know in advance and we'll arrange extra stops, up to 3 per booking.
  • If your trip involves Tokyo Disney Resort, note that it is in Chiba Prefecture and not covered by the Tokyo-wide price. Ask customer service for a quote.

After you submit

Customer service will propose an option and a final quote based on your flight, passengers and vehicle. The instant estimate on the form is for reference; the booking is settled once the quote is confirmed.
