Why this guide exists
We wrote this post because guests ask us these questions on every single pickup ride. Rather than answer them one at a time on WhatsApp, we put everything in one place. The answers below are what we actually say in the car — not what a marketing agency would write.
Every fact in this post has been checked against our current 2026 operating reality. If something has changed since we wrote it, message us and we'll update.
