Yes. Give the full street address, the unit number and any gate code. Many beach condos and vacation-home communities have gates or guest parking rules, and your driver stops at the entrance a car can use.

Yes. Book ahead with your exact flight number and time, so the vehicle is confirmed for your arrival or departure whatever the hour.

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in Baggage Claim, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so the pickup can be moved.

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, condo or cruise ship, and give your airline and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security at your Airside.
