Whether you’re travelling for work or planning a special event, booking a chauffeur can take some of the pressure off. It’s a simple process, but a few key details can make a big difference to how smoothly things run. Here’s what to know before you book.
Start with the basics: when, where and why
Most chauffeur bookings come down to a few essentials: when you need the service, where you’re going, and what the occasion is.
For business travel, that might mean airport transfers, back-to-back meetings, or all-day transport. For leisure, it could be a wedding, a tour through the Adelaide Hills, or transport to a formal event.
Knowing the purpose helps match the service to what you need, whether that’s a quick trip or something more involved.
Use the online quote form
Platinum Car Hire’s quote system is built to collect the right info from the start. It requests key details, such as pickup time and location, drop-off address, number of passengers, and any luggage or special requests.
The form is straightforward, and all responses are kept private. Quotes are usually returned within 24 to 48 hours.
Do you need a car in the next 7 days? It’s best to call at 041903619. Our team can check availability and get back to you faster.
Be clear about location and timing
When filling in the quote form, include full addresses for both pickup and destination, or multiple stops if needed. This helps with scheduling and ensures your chauffeur arrives on time.
If the trip is tied to a fixed event (like a wedding ceremony or flight departure), include that, too. It helps the team build in buffer time where needed.
Add flight info for airport bookings
For airport pickups and drop-offs, include your flight number and time. This allows your chauffeur to track your flight in real-time, which is helpful if your arrival is delayed or ahead of schedule.
For departures, providing your flight time helps us work out when to collect you, taking into account traffic and check-in requirements at Adelaide Airport.
Passenger numbers and luggage matter
It’s not just about space. It’s about comfort and logistics.
Knowing how many people are travelling and how much luggage you’re carrying helps the team recommend the right vehicle. For example, a solo business traveller and a wedding party will need very different setups.
Mention any special requests
If your trip has extra details, like a specific vehicle preference, a stopover, or an event schedule to follow, make sure to add that to your request. The more the team knows upfront, the better they can plan.
Even if it seems minor, it’s worth including. It saves time later and reduces the chance of last-minute changes.
Allow time to confirm your booking
Once you submit your request, our team checks availability and sends through a quote. For advance bookings, this helps secure your preferred timing and vehicle.
If you’re planning to travel during a busy time (such as event season in Adelaide or around public holidays), it’s worth booking early.
