Booking

Do I need an account?

No. You can book as a guest.

How far ahead can I book?

Up to 180 days ahead online. For airport rides, 12 hours or more is recommended, and areas +$25 and above need 24 hours. Shorter-notice requests are confirmed if a driver is available.

Are you available 24/7?

Yes. We take rides around the clock, subject to availability and confirmation.

Can I book for someone else?

Yes. Add the passenger's name and Canadian or US mobile and we'll text them their pickup, driver and arrival updates, and any pickup time change or cancellation. Payment, receipts and your booking link stay with you.

Can I ask for a specific driver or vehicle?

Add it to your booking notes. We'll try, but it isn't guaranteed.

Airport

What pickup time should I choose for an Airport Pickup?

Add your flight number and its scheduled arrival, then choose how long after landing you'll be ready: we suggest 30 minutes for domestic carry-on only, 45 with checked bags and 60 for international. That becomes your confirmed pickup time. Waiting starts then, or when your driver arrives if that's later, not when you land.

Where do I meet my driver at the airport?

Upstairs on the Departures level, near U.S. Departures. Your booking page shows where to meet. With Extra Care, your driver meets you in the public arrivals area after baggage and customs. Airport Pickup Guide

What if my flight is delayed?

Your confirmed pickup moves later at no charge. If the delay is more than 6 hours or into the next day, we re-confirm your ride. If we can't make the new time, you choose a free reschedule or a full refund.

What if my flight is cancelled?

If the airline cancels your flight, choose a free reschedule or a full refund. You don't need to know your new travel date first.

Can I track my driver?

Yes. A live tracking link arrives once your driver is on the way, along with their vehicle and plate details.

Does the on-time guarantee cover Airport Pickup?

No. It covers eligible Comfort and Extra Care pickups from an address, such as an Airport Drop-off. The guarantee
