Airport pickup process

After landing, clear passport control and collect your bags. Your supplier confirmation usually explains whether you meet in the arrivals hall, at a desk, or at a designated parking/meeting point outside the terminal.

Keep your booking reference, voucher and phone reachable. Airport staff and supplier signs commonly reference TIA, Rinas or Mother Teresa Airport — they are the same airport.

What to bring

Bring the main driver’s licence, passport or national ID, and a credit card for the security deposit. Secondary drivers need to be added according to the supplier’s policy.

Review insurance excess, mileage and fuel policy on your voucher before you leave the airport so the return process is clear.
