Clear answers before you travel.
Private transfers, tours, attraction tickets and tailor-made travel all have different rules. This FAQ explains how SmartWay works, what is confirmed before travel and what to send us when you need help.
Booking & confirmation
How do I make a booking?
Choose the relevant service or contact SmartWay with the destination, date, number of travellers and what you need. We confirm availability, price and the conditions that apply before the booking is final.
Is a request automatically confirmed?
No. A request or enquiry is not automatically a confirmed booking. Confirmation depends on availability and, where relevant, the supplier, guide, vehicle or ticket allocation.
What information should I provide?
For most services we need the date, destination or route, number of travellers and contact details. Transfers also require pickup and destination details; tours may require preferred language and duration; tickets may require visitor numbers, ages and preferred entry time.
Will I receive confirmation in writing?
Yes. Confirmed services are communicated in writing with the relevant booking details, timing and conditions.
Private transfers
Are SmartWay transfers private?
Services sold as private transfers are arranged for your party and are not shared with unrelated travellers.
What pickup information do you need?
Exact pickup point, destination, date, requested time, passenger count, luggage and relevant flight or train details. If travelling with children, tell us whether a child seat is required.
Can I book city-to-city transfers?
Yes, depending on route and availability. SmartWay arranges airport, hotel, address-to-address and intercity private transfers in supported destinations.
What if my flight is delayed?
Send or confirm the flight number when requested. How delays are handled depends on the specific service and supplier waiting policy, which should be confirmed with the booking.
Can I add extra stops?
Often yes, but extra stops should be requested in advance because they can affect timing, vehicle planning and price.
Tours & day trips
Are day trips private?
SmartWay day trips offered as private are organised for your party only.
Is a guide always included?
No. Some products include a private guide, some include transport only, and some visits are self-guided. The product description and booking confirmation should state the format clearly.
Can a tour be customised?
Often yes. Route, duration, pickup location and interests can be discussed before confirmation, subject to guide, driver, attraction and timing constraints.
Can you organise tours in different languages?
Depending on destination and guide availability. Tell us your preferred language when you enquire.
Tickets & attractions
Are attraction tickets refundable?
It depends on the attraction, supplier and ticket type. Many timed-entry tickets are date-specific and may be non-refundable. The applicable rule is confirmed for the specific booking.
Will I meet a guide for every attraction ticket?
No. Many ticket products are self-guided or include a digital audio guide. We explicitly state when an in-person guide is included.
How do I receive tickets?
Digital tickets or redemption instructions are normally sent electronically according to the booking. Some attractions may require a specific entry procedure or collection method.
What if the attraction changes its opening hours?
Attraction operating hours are controlled by the venue. If a confirmed booking is affected, we review the supplier information and available options based on the specific case.
Payments, cancellation & changes
When do I pay?
Payment timing depends on the service. Some services require payment to confirm; others may follow different agreed terms. The payment requirement is made clear before confirmation.
What is the cancellation policy?
There is no single cancellation rule for every SmartWay service. Transfers, private tours and third-party tickets can have different conditions. The relevant cancellation terms are confirmed before booking.
Can I change the date after booking?
Sometimes, depending on availability and supplier rules. Date-specific tickets may not allow changes. Contact us as soon as possible with the booking reference.
Can I get a cash refund for a gift voucher?
Not automatically. Gift voucher validity, redemption and any refund conditions are stated on the individual voucher.
Families, groups & special requests
Do you arrange child seats?
They can be requested for applicable transfer services. Tell us the child’s age and what you need so availability can be checked.
Can you organise travel for larger groups?
Yes, depending on destination, vehicle and supplier capacity. Send the exact group size and luggage requirements.
Can you help with accessibility requirements?
Tell us the requirement before booking. We can check suitable vehicles, access information or supplier options, but accessibility must be confirmed for the specific service.
Can you plan more than one city?
Yes. SmartWay can help coordinate compatible transfers, tours and experiences across multiple European destinations.
Existing bookings, support & B2B
What should I include when contacting you about an existing booking?
Booking reference, traveller name, service date and a clear description of what you need. For same-day operational matters, phone or WhatsApp is often the most practical channel.
How can I contact SmartWay?
Phone and WhatsApp: +421 908 847 093. Email: smartwayconnection@gmail.com. You can also use the Contact SmartWay page.
Do you work with travel agencies and suppliers?
Yes. SmartWay works with transfer operators, guides, agencies, DMCs, hotels, attractions, ticket suppliers and other professional travel partners. Use the Business to Business (B2B) Cooperation page.
Can SmartWay arrange something not listed on the website?
Possibly. Send us the destination, date and service you need. We will tell you clearly whether it can be arranged directly or through a suitable partner.
