Private transfers cost more but offer significant advantages: you leave immediately when you clear customs (no waiting for other passengers), you go directly to your hotel (no stops at other properties), there is more luggage space, and the experience is far more comfortable. For groups of 3 or more, the per-person price difference is often minimal.
