Insider tips

Good to know

• •Unlimited stops mean you control the pace—communicate preferences to your driver at the start
• •Vehicle suitable for standard luggage; confirm oversize baggage beforehand if traveling with equipment
• •Pickup and dropoff locations should be confirmed (hotels, train stations, ports) at booking
