What this actor does

Give it a pickup and a dropoff and it returns the available transfer rates for that route, with what you need to compare options and prices:

• 💰 Live price - the quoted fare in any of 28 currencies, plus pre-discount price when there is a deal
• 🚗 Vehicle - example car model, class (Standard, Executive, Luxury, Minibus and more), passenger and bag capacity
• 🏢 Supplier - transfer company name, category, and supplier id
• ⏱ Trip - estimated duration and driving distance
• 🤝 Service - meet-and-greet flag, free-cancellation window, 24h / 2h / non-refundable terms (in the data payload)
• 🔗 Book - a direct Booking.com link to complete each reservation

Pickup and dropoff are both adaptive - pass an IATA code (LHR), a Google Place ID (ChIJ...), a full taxis.booking.com URL, or just plain text (Heathrow Airport). The actor resolves each to the right place automatically.

Input modes

Four common jobs, each mapped 1:1 to a saved example task you can run in one click. Fill pickup, dropoff and options, then press Start.

1. Route quote comparison

A travel desk pricing a JFK arrival transfer wants the supplier options side by side.

{"pickup": "JFK", "dropoff": "Times Square, New York", "pickupType": "airport", "dropoffType": "establishment"}

2. Local-currency quotes (GBP)

A UK affiliate needs London airport prices shown in pounds for its audience.

{"pickup": "LHR", "dropoff": "Trafalgar Square, London", "pickupType": "airport", "dropoffType": "establishment", "currency": "GBP"}

3. Family of 4

A holiday planner needs vehicle classes that seat four with luggage from Paris CDG.

{"pickup": "CDG", "dropoff": "Eiffel Tower, Paris", "pickupType": "airport", "dropoffType": "establishment", "passengers": 4, "currency": "EUR"}

4. Budget cap

A procurement analyst keeps only rates at or under $110 for a JFK transfer.

{"pickup": "JFK", "dropoff": "Times Square, New York", "pickupType": "airport", "dropoffType": "establishment", "maxPrice": 110}

Input fields

Field	What it does
Pickup	Where the trip starts. IATA code, Google Place ID, taxis.booking.com URL, or plain text. Required.
Dropoff	Where the trip ends. Same adaptive formats. Required.
Pickup / Dropoff type	Location type (airport, hotel, train station and more). Auto-detected from your input; override if needed.
Pickup date & time	YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS. Leave blank to default to tomorrow at noon.
Passengers	1-16. Affects which vehicle classes are quoted.
Currency	28 Booking.com-supported ISO codes.
Filters	Max price, vehicle type, supplier id - post-filters to narrow the rows you keep.

Output

One flat row per transfer rate, discriminated by row_type, with the complete rate object under data. The dataset ships with two ready-made table tabs - Overview and Rates - so the data reads as a clean spreadsheet you can sort, filter and export to CSV/Excel/JSON in one click.

Common columns: pickup, dropoff, vehicle_type, car_model, supplier_name, price, currency, original_price, max_passengers, bags, duration_minutes, driving_distance_km, meet_and_greet, cancellation_minutes, booking_link, image_url, supplier_id. The data payload adds supplier_category, car_description, price_discount_percentage, and the full cancellation terms. Rows are returned sorted by price (cheapest first), and error rows carry an error_code and are free - you only pay for real rates.

A run-summary record (OUTPUT key) reports rate counts and the estimated cost. Live per-event pricing is shown on this actor's Apify Store page.

Tip: leave the date blank for a fast same-route price check, or set a real pickup date & time to capture the exact quote a traveller would see for that slot.

Output example

Two row types come back, keyed on row_type. A taxi_rate row carries supplier_name, price, currency, the vehicle class and passenger capacity; the data field holds the complete rate object. Below is a real cheapest-first row from a cold LHR to Westminster run:

{"row_type": "taxi_rate", "pickup": "London Heathrow Airport (LHR), Hounslow, UK", "dropoff": "Westminster, Underground Ltd, Westminster Station, Bridge St, London SW1A 2JR, UK", "vehicle_type": "CAR", "car_model": "Skoda Octavia", "supplier_name": "My Tours Transfers", "price": 96.16, "currency": "USD", "max_passengers": 3, "bags": 2, "duration_minutes": 56, "driving_distance_km": 31.74, "meet_and_greet": true, "cancellation_minutes": 1440, "supplier_id": 2557, "booking_link": "/bookingDetails/b2e18b60-9134-4be6-a25a-3d881c169bfb/1?lang=en-us&currency=USD", "data": {"...": "full rate object"}}

When a route or time has no availability, you get a free diagnostic row instead of a charge:

{"row_type": "error", "pickup": "JFK -> London", "error_code": "NO_QUOTES", "error_message": "No transfer quotes available for this route/time."}

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Booking.com transfer quotes? The actor reads publicly listed transfer prices - the same quotes a public visitor sees on Booking.com Transfers. Public data is generally fine to collect, but you are responsible for how you use it; for personal data or commercial redistribution, review Booking.com terms and consult a lawyer under GDPR / CCPA.

How fresh are the quotes? Prices are fetched live at run time, not read from a stale cache. Run the actor again the moment you need a current number and you get that slot's real quote.

Why do prices differ between suppliers on the same route? Each transfer company sets its own fare for its own fleet and service level - meet-and-greet, vehicle class, cancellation window. A single-quote tool hides that spread; this actor returns each supplier line so you can compare (9 rates spanned $96.16 to $171.43 on one London route).

Can I schedule this to monitor a route? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run a saved input hourly, daily or weekly and append each run to the dataset - useful for tracking how a route's price moves as a travel date approaches.

Do I need Google Place IDs? No. Pickup and dropoff are adaptive: pass an IATA code (JFK), a Place ID, a taxis.booking.com URL, or plain text (Eiffel Tower, Paris) and the actor resolves each automatically.

What happens when a route has no quotes? You get a free error row with error_code: NO_QUOTES and pay nothing - billing counts only real taxi_rate results.
