Tim’s tip

Agree the last song time with your DJ and your transport firm together, so the first pickups arrive as the music finishes rather than half an hour later.

Common questions

How many taxis or minibuses will I actually need?

It depends on how many guests need transport and which option you choose — the tool works out a sensible number based on typical seating for taxis, 8-seat and 16-seat minibuses, or a mixed approach.

When should I book my taxis or minibus for the end of the night?

As early as you can once you know your numbers — popular local firms get booked up on weekend nights, so booking a few weeks ahead is safest, especially in December.

Does my plan, including local firms, save if I close the page?

The local firms you add are saved in your browser automatically, so they'll be there when you come back on the same device — but the transport numbers themselves are generated fresh each time, so use "Copy my plan" or "Print" to keep a record of those.
