Cruise travel brings more luggage and tighter timing than an ordinary taxi ride. This checklist works with any private hire firm. TwentyFour7Cars, a Sponsored Business Club member based in Petersfield, lists cruise-port transfers; compare options before you book.

What to tell the firm

  • Your pick-up address and postcode
  • The port and, if known, the terminal
  • The ship name and your embarkation or disembarkation time, from your cruise documents
  • Number of passengers and the number and size of cases
  • Whether it is one way or a return, and the date of each leg

Why cruise journeys need extra care

  • Cruise lines set boarding and disembarkation times, so check your own documents and tell the firm; do not guess.
  • Disembarkation can run later than the printed time, so ask the firm how it handles a delay.
  • Ships can change ports or times, so ask how the firm handles changes and who to call.

What to ask about the quote

  • Is the price one fixed total or does it depend on waiting time?
  • Are luggage and extra stops included?
  • What are the terms if your sailing changes?

What to confirm before you travel

  • Written confirmation of pick-up address, time, destination and price
  • A phone number to reach on the day
  • Where the driver will meet you when you disembark
  • That the vehicle fits all passengers and cases
