Where it has been used

Based on how arrivals for a multi-day executive conclave were grouped and driven to the hotel, with guests seeing their pickup details in the app.

Questions people ask

How should we group arrivals?

Group by landing time within a twenty-minute window and by hotel. Large groups save vehicles but lengthen waiting, so keep VIP and early arrivals separate when protocol requires.

What if a flight is delayed?

Keep a driver on standby and update the sheet. Message the guest only if the pickup point or the contact person changes; otherwise, the driver will meet them at arrivals as planned.

Do guests need to know the driver’s number?

Yes. Share the driver’s name, vehicle and number the day before, and ask guests to call if they cannot find them. Put the same details in the app for an easy reference.
