Group transport becomes complicated when each participant has a different schedule, phone and amount of luggage. The solution starts with one coordinator and a reliable list, whether the travellers are a family, team or guests attending an event.
A chauffeur vehicle can simplify the route when capacity and pickup points are planned. Departure is too late to discover that travellers are spread between locations or that additional equipment must be carried.
One passenger list and one coordinator
One person gathers answers, approves the route and receives changes. They also provide the phone of a passenger who will be present. This reduces contradictory messages and identifies which version of the list is current.
Keep a list of adults, children and relevant mobility requirements without sharing unnecessary sensitive data. Then count luggage by type. Tell participants the place, time and coordinator’s phone before the day of travel.
Different arrivals: wait or split the transfers?
Set a gathering time before the intended departure. When passengers arrive on different trains or flights, decide whether the group will wait together or needs separate transfers. Waiting time and intermediate stops must be requested rather than assumed.
Reduce pickup points across Lyon
Limit pickup points where reasonable, then give each address in order. For a trade show, hotel or station, add the entrance or meeting point. An approximate property name can lead people to the wrong approach.
- Final list of adults and children
- Coordinator and a passenger’s phone
- Consolidated luggage inventory
- Addresses in route order
- Gathering time and strict deadline
- Stops, waiting and particular constraints
Check capacity before gathering the group
Capacity must cover passenger places and the load at the same time. A van suits some groups; a larger-capacity vehicle may be necessary for others. OR DRIVE checks an appropriate option using the consolidated information.
The coordinator checks attendance before reporting that the group is ready. Luggage remains together and identifiable. If someone is missing, report it immediately instead of silently changing the route, because later connections may be affected.

- Counting seats without counting cases
- Adding addresses without reviewing their effect
- Failing to send the meeting point to the group
Frequently asked questions
How many people can the vehicle carry?
Capacity depends on the confirmed vehicle and luggage. Supply an exact count before booking.
Can the group be collected at several addresses?
