Luggage and Meeting-Point Tips

• Pick the vehicle for your bags, not just your group size. Four people with four big suitcases usually need an SUV.
• Keep your phone charged and switched on after landing so your chauffeur can reach you.
• Traveling with small children? Ask for child seats when you book.
• Stay in one place once you tell your driver where you are.
