HOW TO PAY FOR AIRPORT PICK-UP - LIBERIA INT’L AIRPORT

If you chose to have the school pre-arrange transportation with a provider from Sámara, they will be at the airport at the time and day you have indicated in our registration form. If you do not arrive on this time/day, for whatever reason, you will be charged the full amount of the pickup, to be paid directly to the taxi, as he will have already made the journey to the airport.

NOTE: If you prefer not to be potentially responsible for this charge, you should NOT choose to have airport pickup, but rather take an airport taxi directly, which will cost approximately $15-20 more, but has no cancellation penalty.
