Describe your group and luggage
Share the number of travellers and the amount of luggage before choosing a vehicle. Comfort depends on both seating and storage space. Mention child-seat needs, mobility considerations and any large items. Ask the travel team to confirm suitable arrangements rather than assuming every vehicle provides the same facilities.
Agree on a realistic route
List your overnight bases and essential stops so the team can assess the journey. Travel time depends on roads, traffic and breaks, not just distance. A driver can help connect places, but a comfortable holiday still needs realistic daily plans. Leave flexibility for meals and slower sections of the route.
Clarify the service details
Ask what the quoted service includes, how additional stops are handled and which costs are separate. Discuss airport pickup instructions and how to contact the team if your arrival changes. Confirm the final arrangements in writing before paying. Sample website information is not a confirmed quote or booking.
Keep communication simple
Share changes early and make sure everyone knows the planned departure time each day. Use the company contact details for questions about the agreed service. Avoid sending sensitive documents through an initial chat enquiry. Contact DM Tours with your dates and route to discuss vehicle availability and a suitable quote.
