Frequently Asked Questions
- How does live map tracking work?
- When your driver is assigned, Meet Transfer activates end-to-end GPS tracking for your booking. You receive a link in WhatsApp or the booking confirmation that opens a live map showing the vehicle’s location, estimated arrival time, and route. The map updates in real time until you are dropped off, and our operations desk receives the same feed to provide support if needed. This explains how live map tracking works.
- What information is in the WhatsApp driver-assignment notification?
- The WhatsApp assignment includes the driver’s full name, a photo, the vehicle model, the license plate, and a direct phone number for the driver. It also includes a short confirmation of your pickup point and the Meet Transfer reservation code. You should save the driver’s number in case of a meeting-point change. This answers what is included in the WhatsApp driver-assignment notification.
- How fast can I book an instant intracity car?
- Meet Transfer supports a one-tap instant booking flow. In-city cars are staged across neighborhoods, and the Meet Transfer 24/7 Operations Desk reports an average instant-dispatch time of 9 minutes. During low demand in central districts, pickups can be as quick as 3–5 minutes. This answers how fast instant intracity bookings are.
- What payment methods are accepted?
- You can pay with cash, card on board, or online prepayment. The fixed price is shown before you confirm the booking and will not change due to traffic or route taken. Meet Transfer also supports corporate billing arrangements on request through the Meet Transfer 24/7 Operations Desk. This answers what payment methods are accepted.
- Are child seats available and how do I book them?
- Child seats are available but must be requested in advance through the booking flow or by contacting the dispatch desk. Meet Transfer follows the SOP 'child-seat booking protocol' and drivers will install seats according to safety rules. If you need more than one child seat, state the ages and number of seats at booking so we can assign the correct vehicle. This answers whether child seats are available.
- How much luggage can I bring?
- Luggage allowance depends on vehicle class. A sedan fits two large suitcases. A Mercedes Vito fits up to four large suitcases. A Sprinter fits ten to twelve large suitcases. If you have oversized items like surfboards or skis, notify dispatch and we will allocate a Sprinter or bus. This answers how much luggage you can bring.
- What happens if my flight is delayed?
- Meet Transfer monitors flights automatically under our 'flight tracking SLA.' If your flight is delayed we will reassign driver and adjust the pickup time at no extra cost. The driver receives the updated ETA and will wait per our published waiting-time policy. If the delay is significant, the 24/7 Operations Desk contacts you to confirm details. This answers what happens if a flight is delayed.
- Can I get a ride late at night from the airport?
- Yes. Meet Transfer provides 24/7 service at ADB. Late-night arrivals often face long taxi queues; a pre-booked Meet Transfer car avoids that wait. Drivers will meet you at the agreed exit and confirm via WhatsApp and the 'name-sign meet & greet' SOP. This answers whether you can get a ride late at night from ADB.
- What vehicle should I choose for a group of 10?
- For 10 passengers with luggage, choose a Mercedes Sprinter configured for 11–13 seats so everyone travels together and luggage fits in the rear hold. For larger groups above 14, book a bus sized 14–22 seats. State the exact passenger and luggage count during booking to let Meet Transfer reserve the correct configuration. This answers what vehicle is suitable for a group of 10.
- What is your refund or cancellation policy?
- Meet Transfer offers a transparent cancellation policy. Free cancellation is usually allowed up to a set time before pickup as stated at booking. For last-minute cancellations or no-shows, a fee may apply. Refunds for prepaid bookings follow the payment provider rules and are processed by the Meet Transfer 24/7 Operations Desk.
