Write out the day first
List each address in the order you expect to visit it, with the time you need to arrive and the approximate time you will be ready to leave. Include lunch, shopping and the return to your hotel. A short itinerary gives the reservations team a much clearer picture than a request for a car for the day.
When a transfer is a useful starting point
A point-to-point transfer suits a journey with an agreed collection and destination. It can be a straightforward option for a hotel arrival or a single appointment. If you want the chauffeur to wait while you attend a meeting, say so in advance; do not assume that waiting and a later return are part of a one-way booking.
When to discuss hourly hire
For several appointments or a sequence of stops, discuss hourly hire and how it would cover your itinerary. Confirm the service area, minimum duration, mileage arrangements and any additional time before booking. Flexibility should be defined in your confirmation, particularly if the day might extend beyond the original plan.
Compare the complete quote
Compare quotes against the same itinerary, passenger count and luggage requirements. Ask what is included and how changes would be charged. An advertised rate or vehicle photograph cannot answer those questions. Send the final stop order to the reservations team and make sure the lead traveller has the agreed collection details.
