Before you set off
Include your flight number, arrival date, full address, passenger count and luggage details. Ask for a meeting-point confirmation and waiting terms.
Send a flight number, not just an arrival time
“Around midday” is not enough to identify an arrival. Send your flight number and date, and label the time as the scheduled landing time in Belgrade. Pay particular attention to flights crossing midnight. If an assistant or family member books for you, also provide a contact for the traveller.
A flight number allows the service to check its status, but it does not replace agreed terms. Ask what happens if the flight is delayed or changed. If your airline rebooks you onto a different flight, send the new details as soon as possible.
Landing is not the same as leaving the terminal
Disembarking, any necessary checks and baggage collection happen after touchdown. The time required varies, so do not assume you will be outside as soon as the plane lands.
Confirm exactly where to meet, how to recognise the driver and whom to contact when you are ready. If your luggage does not arrive, complete the necessary report and update the person arranging your transfer. Establish waiting terms in advance.
Choose space for belongings as well as people
Seat count is only part of the decision. Two travellers with large suitcases and a stroller can need a different setup from four people carrying small bags. List large and cabin cases separately, with any bulky equipment.
For a group, say whether travelling together in one vehicle is important. Ask for confirmation that the specific vehicle can accommodate your passengers and luggage; a class name alone does not establish luggage capacity.
Confirm the address and the total arrangement
A hotel name is useful initially, but provide its full address before confirmation. Include a particular entrance, reception point or additional stop. Multiple destinations should be declared before the quote is agreed.
- Confirm the total price for the route and vehicle.
- Ask what is included and how waiting or changes are handled.
- Check the payment method and travel-day contact.
- Arrange a return trip as a separate pickup.
