About the Transfers Market
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), in August 2022, global air traffic was up 67.7% compared to August 2021 and reached 73.7% of the pre-pandemic levels.
This is an almost complete recovery of air traffic that has had an excellent economic impact on the tourism sector during the 2022 season. As HSE Drive notes, all indicators are favorable for a full recovery of air traffic in 2023.
As the ground transportation market is linked to air traffic, this recovery of flights has had strong beneficial consequences for all players in the transportation sector. Including HSE Drive, a private driver service for quality transfers.
The service specializes in trips on the French Riviera, one of the world’s first tourist destinations and a strategic location. One of the major advantages of this location is that numerous conferences organized for professionals from different sectors take place here.
About HSE Drive
HSE Drive is a search and booking service for first-class taxi services on the Côte d’Azur. Through this service, travelers can book a transfer from or to the Nice Airport, along tourist routes in Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Grasse, Frejus, Ramatuelle, Antibes, and the entire French Riviera. In addition, they can book a car with a driver for business trips to meetings, conferences, festivals, or private events, such as weddings, VIP meetings, or group outwalks.
Travelers can find the right car on the HSE website in just five minutes. It’s enough to specify the pick-up and drop-off locations, date, and time. With that said, there is another option that allows travelers to look for transfers not by distance, but by time, and move throughout the French Riviera during the specified time.
After users enter all the necessary data in the search form on the site, they will be able to choose the car that best matches their needs and book additional services, such as airport assistance and hostess services, a child seat in the car, or meet and greet in the arrivals lounge.
However, not all travelers enjoy surprises. That is why every car comes with a card that provides a detailed description of the services included in the transfer price.
After choosing a suitable transfer, the traveler can only fill out a questionnaire with contact details and pay for the trip with a bank card, or via PayPal. It’s also possible to pay for the transfer by cash, but to do so, travelers must pay a 10% deposit by bank card on the site.
The core values of HSE Drive are security, comfort, and privacy. Service customers can appreciate the first-class services of professional and punctual drivers as well as a fleet of safe and comfortable vehicles.
