Price
A private transfer from Queen Alia Airport starts from JOD 70 and varies with the actual distance and the type of car requested (a standard sedan or a larger car for families and groups).
Why pre-book a private transfer?
The driver waits for you by name right at the arrivals door, so you don’t have to negotiate or look for a taxi in the crowd when you are tired from a long flight. This is especially useful for families, groups, or late-night arrivals.
