Chauffeur planning guide

What to send when requesting a chauffeur quote

Send the date, the pickup and drop-off addresses, the number of people, the bags and a phone number. Add the reason for the trip if it matters, and anything unusual. A complete first message means one reply from us instead of three.

  • Date, time and both addresses
  • People, bags and trip type
  • A phone number and any special needs

Online booking & enquiries available 24/7

What are the core details every request needs?

Every request needs a date, a start time and a pickup address. After that, a drop-off address or, if you want a vehicle held for a block of time, a rough description of where you will go. Without those, we cannot say whether we can do the trip.

Add the number of passengers and the type of trip: airport transfer, one-way run, hourly booking, event or something else. You can pick the closest match on the quote form and describe the rest in the message box.

  • Date and pickup time
  • Pickup and drop-off address
  • Number of passengers
  • Type of trip

What extra details help with airport trips?

For airport trips, include the flight number, airline and terminal if you know it. Say whether it is an arrival or a departure, and if the trip is international. These shape the timing and the pickup instructions.

Our airport transfer checklist goes through the airport-specific details in more depth.

How much should you say about luggage and passengers?

More than you might think. A vehicle that suits four people may not suit four people with four large cases. Give us the number of bags and flag anything oversized. If you are unsure, our luggage guide walks through the count.

If children are travelling, mention their ages and sizes. If anyone has mobility needs, say so up front. These are things we would rather plan for than discover on the day.

What else is worth mentioning?

Tell us about stops along the way, a waiting period at either end, or a change of plan that might happen. A return trip belongs in the same message, even if the details are not final. If you are travelling for work, mention whether the booking needs to go on a company account or an invoice with a particular reference.

It also helps to say what matters most to you. Some people care about arriving on time above all else. Others want a quiet cabin, a specific vehicle category, or a pickup at a particular door. A single line is enough.

What happens after you send it?

We read the request, check the plan and reply with a quote and any questions we have. The quote depends on the details you sent, so a fuller request tends to lead to a more accurate answer. You do not pay anything to ask.

If something in your plan changes after you send it, write back to the same thread. For a full walk-through of how booking works from start to finish, see how to book a chauffeur in Toronto.

Client feedback

What clients say

“Booked a ride from Pearson to a hotel on Bay Street after a long flight. The chauffeur was waiting where we agreed and handled both of our big cases.”

“Visiting from Spain, we booked a chauffeur for a full day. He showed us the waterfront, waited at every stop and never rushed us.”

Quick answers

Quote request questions

Cannot find your answer? Call or email us and we will help.

Is the quote free?
Yes. Get Free Quote costs you nothing, and you are under no obligation after we reply.
What if I do not know all the details yet?
Send what you have. A rough plan is better than waiting, and we can adjust the quote as the details settle.
Can I ask for more than one vehicle?
Yes. Describe each group, pickup address and time, and we will explain how we would plan it.
How soon will I hear back?
Replies go out promptly, but a trip that is only days away is better handled by phone. Call us and mention the date.
Should I mention a budget?
You can describe what matters to you, but we do not publish prices on this site. We will give you a quote based on your trip, and you can decide from there.
Can I change the request after sending it?
Yes. Reply to our message with the update. The earlier you tell us, the easier it is to adjust.
