To become a GetYourGuide supplier, create an account, verify your business with your company registration number, tax ID and bank details, and list your first experience for review, which operator guides put at two to five working days. Listing costs nothing and commission is charged only on completed bookings, by country, with a digital services tax surcharge on invoices in France, Italy, Spain and the UK since 1 October 2026. Plain airport transfers are restricted, so a private tour or golf day fits better.
What can a chauffeur company list on GetYourGuide?
GetYourGuide's list of restricted activities includes "non-experiential transfers; focused solely on getting travelers from point A to B using a standard vehicle", and gives "private van, taxi, or standard car service" as examples. An airport run on its own is that kind of product, so it belongs on Viator or on a transfer platform instead.
What fits is a trip the traveller buys for the day itself: a private tour with planned stops, a golf day or a distillery trip. GetYourGuide still shows Transfers among its product categories without saying which transfers qualify, so if you want to list a transfer with a stop built in, ask its supplier team before you build the listing. Irish Transfer lists its airport transfer on Viator, and touring and golf days are the products it plans to list on GetYourGuide. The Bookings from OTAs page sets out which platform sells which product.
Who can sign up?
GetYourGuide works with registered companies and independent operators, and it asks for a business licence and business liability insurance even from an individual supplier. Every listing is reviewed by its team before it goes live. Operator guides from 2026 put approval at two to five working days once the documents are in.
How does the sign-up work?
- Create an account and confirm your email.
- Verify your business with your company registration number, tax ID and bank details. GetYourGuide warns that payments can be delayed until these documents are in.
- List your first experience and send it for review.
The form itself takes about half an hour. The listing takes longer, because a chauffeur trip has to be described as an experience: the stops, how long it takes, what is included in the price and what the traveller does at each place.
What does it cost?
Adding and keeping an activity on GetYourGuide costs nothing. You pay commission only on bookings that are completed, as a percentage of the price the customer pays, and the rate depends on your country, so you see the exact figure after you sign up. Operator guides that quote GetYourGuide's supplier pages put it at 20 to 30 percent, with 30 percent usual for a new supplier. Payment processing is inside the commission; there is no separate card fee.
what you keep per booking = price − GetYourGuide's commission − your cost of running the trip
The OTA commission calculator puts that figure next to what the same trip leaves you when it is booked direct.
What is the new surcharge on supplier invoices?
Since 1 October 2026 GetYourGuide has added a digital services tax surcharge as a separate line on supplier invoices in the countries that levy such a tax on platforms, including France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. In Türkiye the same line is called a regulatory operating surcharge. GetYourGuide's own example shows a 100 euro booking at 30 percent commission with a surcharge of 0.75 euro on top, so the amount is small, but it is charged to you rather than to the traveller. If you sell in one of those countries, add it to the commission when you work out what a booking leaves.
How does GetYourGuide pay?
The supplier terms give you a choice: payouts once a month, or twice a month. The monthly run pays, by the fifth working day of the month, the money collected for bookings completed in the previous month, less the commission. GetYourGuide may hold a payout until the amount due reaches 50 euros, it pays the transfer fees charged by its own bank, and you pay any fees your bank or an intermediary bank charges on receipt. The twice-monthly option carries a surcharge; operator guides put it at about two percentage points on the commission, and GetYourGuide shows the exact figure in the supplier portal.
Can your own website be cheaper than your GetYourGuide listing?
Read the price clause before you sign. GetYourGuide's standard supplier terms include a parity rule, which operator guides read as not offering the same experience at a lower price on your own site. For a chauffeur company this matters more than it does for a walking tour, because the same car and driver also sell through hotels, agents and direct enquiries. Decide the retail price once, for every channel, and let the commission come out of your margin rather than out of a lower price elsewhere. The net rates guide covers how to keep prices in line across partners.
Running the listing
You set prices and availability yourself and can change them at any time. GetYourGuide also says you are "not obligated in any way" and can switch off an activity or the whole account whenever you like.
If you already use a reservation system or channel manager, you can connect it. GetYourGuide names Rezdy, Bokun, FareHarbor and Regiondo among the systems it works with. A chauffeur company with one or two products does not need one on day one; the Bokun or Rezdy guide sets out when it starts to pay.

Before you submit
- Describe the trip as an experience, with its stops, how long it takes and what is included in the price.
- Show only the days you can really run it, with a cancellation policy you can live with.
- Check that the price does not undercut what hotels, agents or direct customers pay for the same trip, and that it is the same price on your own site.
- Have the business licence and insurance certificate ready, because the review waits for them.
Questions owners ask
Can a chauffeur company list airport transfers on GetYourGuide?
Not plain ones. GetYourGuide restricts “non-experiential transfers” from A to B in a standard vehicle. A private tour with stops, a golf day or a transfer with an experience built in can be listed; ask the supplier team before you build it.
What does it cost to list on GetYourGuide?
Nothing to list. You pay commission on completed bookings, set by country and shown after sign-up; operator guides put it at 20 to 30 percent. In France, Italy, Spain and the UK a small digital services tax surcharge is added to invoices since 1 October 2026.
When does GetYourGuide pay suppliers?
Once a month by the fifth working day, for bookings completed the previous month, less commission, or twice a month for a surcharge. Payouts may wait until at least 50 euros is due.
Can my own website be cheaper than my GetYourGuide listing?
GetYourGuide’s standard supplier terms include a price parity rule, which operator guides read as no lower price for the same experience on your own site. Read the clause before you sign and set one retail price for every channel.
Do I need Bokun or Rezdy to sell on GetYourGuide?
No. You can manage one or two products in GetYourGuide’s own supplier portal. A channel manager pays once you sell the same products on several platforms and lose time keeping availability in step.
