Start with the flight, not a fixed universal pickup
Provide the operating airline, flight number, departure date and airport code. Follow the airline’s recommended arrival and check-in cutoff, then add the actual road journey and a sensible traffic buffer. No single pickup time works for a Casco Viejo hotel, a Gamboa lodge and a Río Hato resort.
Confirm the correct terminal
Use the departure terminal confirmed by your airline and check it again before leaving. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 meeting and drop-off arrangements can differ. A destination change, stop request or extra passenger should be sent before dispatch so the vehicle and schedule can be checked.
Be ready at the agreed reception
Arrange checkout, breakfast and bags with the hotel separately. Be at the confirmed lobby or lawful street meeting point at pickup time. In Casco Viejo, reconfirm vehicle access for the day; at a gated resort, make sure the driver has the accepted guest and reservation details.
Round trip does not mean identical logistics
A round-trip price estimate combines two journeys on the same route. Your return still needs a date, pickup time, flight and exact hotel. If the final accommodation differs from the arrival hotel, request a revised route quote rather than using the first zone price automatically.
