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.

A session running over, a meeting moved to the morning, an extra delegate for the Closing Ceremony: send one message and we re-plan. No new booking, no fee for changes within the booked time.

Pick-up where the crowd isn't.

Technical committee meetings run from 09:00 to 17:30 in the CCH and in venues nearby, and the evening events take place across the city.

The late long-haul flight

A delegation's long-haul flight landed three hours late the night before the meetings began. The chauffeur was re-timed automatically, our desk told the hotel about the late arrival, nobody had to make a call.

The extra delegates

Two more experts joined a national delegation mid-week. The E-Class became a V-Class the same afternoon, and the whole delegation arrived at the Closing Ceremony together.

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.
