Build the route

Use complete addresses and identify required stops, preferred breaks, and whether a return ride is needed.

Choose the vehicle

Confirm passenger capacity, luggage space, accessibility needs, and comfort expectations for the expected duration.

Understand the estimate

Distance and duration are planning inputs, not guarantees. Traffic, weather, stops, and route changes can affect the trip.

Confirm the complete plan

Agree on pickup time, contact method, payment, waiting, cancellation, and how schedule changes will be handled.
