Check the booking details
Use a named profile, recent reviews and a written itinerary. Confirm the vehicle type and passenger capacity. If child restraints or accessibility support are essential, get explicit confirmation rather than assuming they are standard.

Make safe driving the priority
A crowded itinerary should be shortened, not recovered through speeding or risky overtaking. Wear available seat belts and tell the driver if you feel uncomfortable. Avoid distracting them with route changes while the vehicle is moving.
Keep a shared record
Share your route and expected return with someone in your group. Keep the driver's contact and booking conversation accessible. For late or remote journeys, confirm fuel, mobile coverage and the drop-off pin in advance.
