Allow disembarkation time
Schedule at least 45–60 minutes after cruise or flight arrival to clear customs and collect luggage before your pickup time.
Request child seats in advance
If you’re traveling with infants or toddlers, request specialized car seats when booking to ensure availability.
Confirm terminal pickup location
Provide your exact cruise terminal, airline, flight or ship details and a phone number so the driver can find you quickly.

Northbound routes often use tolled expressways; during rush hours add extra travel time and ask whether tolls are included or paid at dropoff.
Valid photo ID & travel documents
Needed for cruise/airport pickups and for identification during transfer.
Wheeled luggage or duffel
Easier handling during loading and unloading; drivers assist but wheelie bags speed things up.

Light snacks and refillable water bottle
Good for quick comfort between ports—bottled water is often provided but extras are handy.
