You don't need to worry since, most volunteering programs include airport pickup and drop off as a part in program fee. And hence you will get the service in time. however, some inexpensive volunteer abroad programs can charge you the service fee additionally. It could also be the case where you are expected to manage your own transportation to the airport. But in most of the programs drop off service is available. Please inquire and check with your organization for the arrangement prior to your departure.

What I need to know when program is over?
