9 times out of 10, I use public transport. Usually quicker and cheaper than a taxi, and a chance to immerse yourself in the local culture as quickly as possible. If I had a toddler, I would consider a taxi, but would suss out in advance which companies were reputable and what the (approximate) charge would be.

If you're going to se Asia grab is the equivalent of Uber.

See if there's a facebook page for the area then ask on there.

Always hire a car these days.

There is an info booth in the airport. Just ask the best way to xx from there.

Not the only one though there's www.solhop.com . good to shop around as baby seats are not standard

Also for future queries, these are not the only companies. There is also www.solhop.com Always worth a look around as baby seats are not usually standard

shuttle bus often, they go to specific hotels, or bus into a town centre & then walk a wee way to your digs.

Except Mners seem to all bring at least 25kg / person on hols, so maybe city bus not realistic.

I have had the problem of landing late night at the airport and for have searched different companies and booked it through. Below are the packof companies you can search for which I found them affordable.

It depends what you want and where you're going. Most European cities have easy rail or coach services from the airport to the city centre. Other resort areas probably have coaches. Or you just google airport transfer and location. You can usually find private car transfers (bit pricey) or you can get a taxi when you get there, assuming where you're going isn't too dodgy.
