A few short hops suit a taxi, while a day with many stops suits a car with a driver. The best answer comes from your own route, so send it to us on WhatsApp with the times you want.

How do waiting and return trips work?

Ask the driver before you book whether the car waits at each stop, for how long, and what a return trip involves.

Our facts do not cover waiting times or return trips, so confirm them in the chat before the day. The advice is to negotiate full-day rates when booking a private car, which makes the end of the day easier to plan. Agree the start and end time, the stops and the return point in one message, so there is no question on the day.

How do you book a private car with a driver?
