What pick-up time should I specify?

When booking a transfer from the airport, please provide your arrival time as indicated on your ticket. The driver will track your flight based on the flight number provided.
Suppose you are booking a transfer to the airport. In that case, you can calculate your departure time by subtracting 3 hours (as a general rule) and the duration of the trip to the airport (specified on the form field) from the departure time specified on your ticket.
For example, if your flight departure time is 2:00 PM and the trip to the airport takes 1 hour, you would need to specify a departure time of 10:00 AM.
Setting a departure time will ensure that you arrive at the airport with sufficient time for check-in and other necessary procedures.

How to specify my address?

When filling out the Drop-Off Address form section, please provide the name of your hotel or the specific destination address.
If you have a hotel voucher, you can conveniently copy the hotel address from it.

Booking return transfer ?
