🚖 Tips for Smooth Pickups
- Pin precisely: Drop the pin at the doorway you’ll wait at (use “Share location”).
- Add notes: Mention child seats, van, wheelchair, or extra luggage in your first message.
- Airport specifics: Tell the driver Terminal & Door. PMI has multiple pick points—being exact speeds things up.
- Peak times: Summer evenings and rainy days are busiest. WhatsApp queueing is often faster than calling.
- Cash vs card: Most taxis accept cards, but carry a small cash backup just in case.
- Receipts: Ask the driver to print or email one—helpful for expense claims.
🧒 Families & Accessibility
- Strollers/boosters: Add it in your WhatsApp message so dispatch sends a suitable vehicle.
- Wheelchair users: Ask for a rampa (ramp-equipped vehicle); add ETA flexibility at peaks.
- Late nights with kids: Share live location and wait inside well-lit areas until the car arrives.
✈️ Airport (PMI) Playbook
- Landing: Message as you reach baggage claim so the car times your exit.
- Meeting point: Confirm “Arrivals, Door X” in the chat.
- Outbound flights: Pre-book on WhatsApp the day before; add your flight time and bags.
⚠️ Good to Know
- Language: The WhatsApp bot is in Spanish, but it’s menu-driven and simple.
- Service area: Palma proper + nearby areas; for far-out trips ask for a fare estimate in-chat.
- Receipts & lost property: Keep your license plate or booking ref from the chat.
