Watch-outs
- Do not show booking vouchers to random drivers outside the station.
- Do not accept an unplanned stop at a camp, shop, or hotel.
- If the driver says your hotel is closed, call the hotel directly.
Station arrival is the first trust test
Save your hotel phone number before arrival. If a driver claims your booking is closed, step aside and call the hotel directly.
Desert transfers need exact terms
For Sam or Khuri, confirm pickup time, waiting time, return time, vehicle type, and whether the quote includes all passengers and luggage.
Use routes to reject diversions
Keep offline maps open. A driver suggesting a friend's camp, shop, or hotel is usually creating commission, not helping you.
