Steps in order

  1. 1

    Book one to seven days before the trip.

  2. 2

    Confirm both legs and write down the reservation details.

  3. 3

    Ask what fare is due and what payment is accepted; fares can change.

  4. 4

    Be ready within the stated pickup window and keep dispatch/customer-service contacts available.

If the first answer is no or wait

Call the reservation or customer-service line as soon as a ride is late or details are wrong. Keep dates and trip numbers if a pattern requires a complaint.
