SmartRyde, a Japanese company and one of the leading global players in pre-booked airport transfer services, is pleased to announce its strategic integration as a provider through Amadeus, a leading travel technology company. Through this collaboration, SmartRyde’s extensive network of airport transfer solutions will soon be available this month directly through Amadeus Transfers, enabling travel sellers worldwide to offer seamless ground transportation as part of their travel itineraries.
As the first step in this collaboration, SmartRyde and Amadeus will roll out the service to travel sellers in Japan and South Korea. Travelers will be provided with pre-booked, door-to-door airport transfers, and for travel sellers, everything will be integrated into Amadeus, within one simple booking flow.
For travelers, especially those heading abroad, figuring out airport transportation can be stressful. This partnership allows them to book a ride from the airport before even leaving home — saving time, reducing anxiety, and ensuring a more seamless travel experience.
What travelers can expect:
- Access to trusted rides in over 1000+ airports worldwide
- Upfront pricing and no surprises
- Bookings are made simply through Amadeus Transfers
- A smoother trip from leaving home to the airport and landing, to hotel check-in.
Travel sellers using Amadeus Travel Platform will soon enjoy easy access to the full range of SmartRyde’s transfer services — from standard vehicles to premium chauffeur options — with features such as real-time availability, instant confirmation, and transparent pricing.
“This collaboration is designed with the traveler in mind. Starting with Japan and South Korea, we want to help travel agents offer a full-service experience — with safe airport transfers in addition to flights and hotels.” – Sota Kimura, CEO, SmartRyde
