Start with the flight

Share the flight number, arrival date and terminal if known. Include the lead passenger’s mobile number with its country code. The person organising the car may not be the person arriving, so make sure the booking team has a contact who can be reached on the day. Keep the final confirmation available offline on your phone.

Plan for passengers and bags

List every passenger, checked case, cabin bag and unusual item. A pushchair, golf bag or equipment case can change the vehicle you need. Mention any assistance or child-seat requirements when requesting the quote so the team can discuss them before you confirm.

Use the confirmed meeting point

The meeting point in your booking confirmation is the reference for your journey. Follow those instructions rather than choosing a general terminal entrance. If you cannot find the agreed location or your plans change, contact the reservations team to clarify the handover.

Include the journey after arrivals

Send the full destination address and any planned stops. If you have a meeting, event or onward connection, explain the timing when you book. Review waiting arrangements and amendment terms in the quote. These details help you understand what is included and what needs a separate agreement.

Make it your journey.
