Being well-prepared makes for a smooth and enjoyable journey for both you and your passengers. Here’s a quick checklist to help you get ready:

1. Check trip details

  • Double-check that your trip description is up-to-date, especially the pick-up points. Clear and accurate information saves time and avoids confusion.

2. Confirm with passengers

  • Send a courtesy message the day before or a few hours before the trip to confirm the trip and pick-up locations. This helps set expectations and reduces any potential confusion on the day of travel.

3. Prep your vehicle

  • Make sure your vehicle is clean and free of clutter. A tidy car helps make it a pleasant journey.

  • Make sure you have enough gas for the entire journey to avoid unexpected stops.

  • Consider adding a personal touch, like bringing along Timbits to share with your passengers.

4. Plan ahead

  • Plan to leave early to reach the pick-up location on time. Punctuality helps build trust with your passengers.

  • Before leaving, send a quick message to your passengers confirming your expected arrival time and let them know if you're running early or late.

5. Accessing your phone

  • Keep your phone in a spot where it’s easy to access without taking your eyes off the road. This will help you stay updated on any messages from passengers.

  • Always follow road safety rules and avoid using your phone while driving. Adhere to the regulations in your province regarding distracted driving.

6. Legal essentials

  • Keep your valid driver's license with you at all times.

  • Double-check that your car insurance is up-to-date and hasn't expired. Being covered is not just essential; it's the law.

Being proactive and organized helps ensure a stress-free experience for everyone involved.

Safe travels!
