How this planner reads the trip
Passenger count sets the floor: two or fewer riders with light bags almost always fits a sedan. Add luggage, a third rider, or a same-day airport window and the math shifts to an SUV for the extra margin. Once a group runs past five, or the group needs to arrive and stage together rather than in split cars, a Sprinter Van becomes the more reliable call — one dispatcher, one vehicle, one arrival time instead of several cars trying to land within the same minute.
Event and group timelines
Trip pressure matters as much as headcount. An airport transfer needs flight tracking and terminal buffer built into the pickup window. An event timeline needs staging notes — where the vehicle holds, how load-in access works, and what time the group actually needs to be curbside versus when the event technically starts. Hourly chauffeur bookings hold a vehicle on call across multiple stops instead of rebooking between each one.
