QuickPickups vs GetTransfer
The local operator's guaranteed price vs a bidding marketplace
On GetTransfer you publish your trip and wait for a driver to bid. It can come out cheap — and it can also cancel on you an hour before your flight. We compare both models with dated, verified data.

Which is better for you?
If your absolute priority is price and you have total flexibility, GetTransfer's bidding model can get you a very low offer. But an airport or cruise transfer lives on certainty: the most repeated complaints on their Trustpilot are last-minute driver cancellations and prepaid bookings with no car waiting. With QuickPickups the price, the vehicle and the driver are locked at confirmation, the child seat is guaranteed and fitted, and you talk on WhatsApp with the person managing it. For a flight or an embarkation, that certainty is the product.
Frequently asked questions
- How does GetTransfer work and how is it different from QuickPickups?
- GetTransfer is a bidding marketplace: you publish your trip and carriers send you offers with their price and vehicle (per their own FAQ, verified August 2026). Until a driver accepts, there is no guaranteed price, vehicle or driver. With QuickPickups you book the local operator directly: a published fixed price and a driver assigned on confirmation.
- Is GetTransfer cheaper than QuickPickups in Barcelona?
- It can be: the bidding model sometimes produces very low offers (their site showed a 13 km Barcelona example at around $41, August 2026). The final price depends on which driver bids and on that driver honouring the offer. QuickPickups publishes a fixed price with VAT, tolls and fees included — compare it live above.
- Are child seats guaranteed with GetTransfer?
- You can request seat type and number when booking, but availability and cost depend on each driver's offer. With QuickPickups, seats and boosters are added on request for a supplement from €4, fitted and checked by the driver, and guaranteed at confirmation.
