The bike needs to be disassembled and properly secured – if you don’t feel confident doing this yourself, it’s worth asking for help at a bike service before departure.
After arriving in Pego, we can help with bike assembly, and before departure – with preparing it again for transport.
Regarding transport from the airport, we have a large vehicle that can easily accommodate both bike cases and boxes – even with a larger number of people.
