How to set an accurate pickup
The clearer your pickup, the easier it is for your driver to find you, especially at a busy station or a large site.
Choose the suggestion that matches where you’ll wait
Start typing your pickup address, then pick the suggestion for the street or entrance where you’ll actually be standing, not just the area or the name of a large site.
Or tap Use my current location
Location is optional and used only when you attach your current position to a pickup. The app does not use location in the background.
Add a note for your driver
You can add a note of up to 200 characters, such as the entrance you’re using or a landmark you’re standing next to.
Add stops if you need them
You can add up to 3 stops on the way, for example to collect a friend before your destination.
Look out for your car
Once a driver is assigned, the app shows their name and the vehicle’s make, model, colour and registration.
Choose Pickup now if you’re ready to go, or Schedule for later to book ahead. Schedule a pickup for any day in the next 7 days, including today, in 30-minute slots from 07:00 to 22:30 (UK time). Either way, you see the fare before you pay, and you pay in the app by card, or Apple Pay on iPhone.
A submitted request is not guaranteed until the app confirms the booking or a member of the team confirms it with you.
Travelling as a group
The standard car takes up to 4 passengers. For 5 to 8 passengers, get a WhatsApp quote for an 8-seater. How 8-seater quotes work.
