New Feature on GetTransfer.com: "Recommended" Sorting for Your Convenience

Sort by price and you get the cheapest offer — which is sometimes a five-year-old vehicle with 12 reviews. Sort by rating and you get a 4.9-star driver whose price is 40% above the regional average. GetTransfer's recommended sorting weighs both at once, along with vehicle class and manufacture year, and puts the most balanced offer first.

GetTransfer works as a marketplace: you submit a route, drivers send offers, you choose. For a busy airport corridor that can mean 30 or 40 results. Until recently, the only tools for cutting through them were single-variable sorts — price or rating. Neither tells the full story.

Four Factors, One Ranked List

The recommended algorithm scores each offer across driver rating, vehicle class, manufacture year, and price relative to the regional average. Driver rating and price carry the most weight, since they most directly reflect quality and value. Vehicle class and age refine the score further — newer and more appropriate vehicles rank higher, but not so heavily that a great driver in a slightly older car disappears from the top results.

The output is a single ranked list. The first offer you see isn't the cheapest, and it isn't the highest-rated — it's the one that scores best across all four dimensions combined. That's a genuinely different result from what either single-variable sort would surface.

One Thing to Check Regardless

• A rating of 4.9 from 11 trips and a rating of 4.9 from 340 trips are not the same thing. Recommended sorting factors in the rating score, but not the volume behind it. Before confirming, glance at the number of completed rides - it tells you how much that score has been tested.

How to Switch to It

After submitting your transfer request, go to the offers page and find the sorting controls at the top of the list. Select "Recommended." The list reorders instantly. From there, the booking process is unchanged — review the top options, check the vehicle photo, read recent reviews if you want, and confirm.

The flexible rate is still available at checkout if you want full cancellation protection. Recommended sorting and the flexible rate are independent features; using one doesn't affect the other.

Who It Helps Most

Business travellers booking transfers in cities they don't know well can't easily judge whether a quoted price is reasonable without local context. Recommended sorting benchmarks each offer against regional averages, so the ranking already accounts for what's normal in that market. You don't need to know that a transfer from CDG to central Paris typically costs €55–75 to recognise when an offer has a good price. But the algorithm knows, and the ranking reflects it.

First-time users benefit for the same reason. The default sort on most platforms rewards whoever listed lowest, not whoever is most reliable. Recommended sorting inverts that logic.

The Algorithm Keeps Adjusting

The ranking model updates over time as booking data accumulates. Drivers with consistently high completion rates and positive post-trip feedback improve their position; those with cancellations or complaints drop. The list you see today is more accurate than the list from six months ago — and less accurate than the one from six months from now.

Most users will pick the first or second result and never think about the algorithm behind it. That's exactly the point. The sorting exists so that defaulting to the top of the list is a reasonable decision, not a gamble.
