How it works

Just send a message.

A dedicated manager, the whole trip.

No call centre and no app. One WhatsApp thread with the same manager, from the first message to the last ride, and an answer within 15 minutes.

Plans change. That's fine.

Flight delayed by three hours, an extra co-founder, a dinner moved to Glockenbach: send one message and we re-plan. No new booking, no fee for changes within the booked time.

  1. Bits & Pretzels, Tuesday, 3 of us, investor meetings in town between the sessions

    08:47

  2. Good morning. For three with meetings across town we suggest the V-Class as a mobile meeting room: Tuesday 08:30–19:30, 11 h × €125 = €1,375 incl. VAT. Shall we confirm?

    08:53

  3. Confirmed. First pick-up at the hotel, then the ICM forecourt at 14:00.

    08:56

  4. Your chauffeur for tomorrow: name, mobile number and number plate follow this evening. In the lobby at 08:30.

    18:05

Same chauffeur, same car, one WhatsApp thread for all three days — the Wiesn day included.

A day at Bits & Pretzels with a chauffeur

From the lobby to the last dinner. One car.

What a conference day looks like when the transport is already solved.

  1. 08:30

    Hotel → ICM

    The chauffeur is in the lobby, coffee in hand if you like. Drop-off on the ICM forecourt, ten minutes before the first stage.

  2. 13:00

    Investor lunch in the Altstadt

    Same car, same chauffeur. He waits outside the restaurant; you leave when the conversation is done, not when the taxi app says so.

  3. 18:00

    Stages end

    Out via the ICM forecourt while the queue at Eingang West builds. Laptop open long before you are back in town.

  4. 20:30

    Founder dinner in Schwabing

    The car stays outside. Back at the hotel when you say, and the same chauffeur is in the lobby tomorrow at 08:30.

We know Messe München

Pick-up where the crowd isn't.

Two days of stages and investor meetings at the ICM in Riem, then the closing day on the Wiesn. On 30 September the whole crowd moves from the fairground to Theresienwiese and Munich's taxis are at their scarcest. The Theresienwiese itself is car-free: we agree a corner on Bavariaring or Theresienhöhe, and the chauffeur waits nearby until you write.

MUC airport → Messe München / ICM
30–40 min
Messe → Altstadt hotels (Bayerischer Hof, Mandarin Oriental, The Charles)
25–35 min
Messe → Theresienwiese (Oktoberfest)
30–40 min
Messe → München Hauptbahnhof
25–30 min
Pick-up points we use
  • ICM entrance

    Its own forecourt on the west side of the fairground, closest to the stages.

  • Messe München Eingang West

    The main entrance, busiest when the programme ends.

  • Eingang Ost

    The quiet side when the west forecourt is full.

  • Your hotel lobby

    The chauffeur waits inside and carries the luggage.

Three hotels before lunch

An investor had back-to-back meetings at three hotels: two in the Altstadt, one in the Werksviertel. One car held the whole morning: no app, no waiting between slots, early at all three.

The Wiesn day exit

On the closing day a team left the tent at 17:00, when no taxi in Munich was free. Their chauffeur was already two streets away on Bavariaring; they made their flight.

Questions before you book

Cars cancelled 24 hours or more before pick-up are free of charge. Less than 24 hours before pick-up the booked price is due, as set out in our Terms of Service.
