Ship day: passenger lists, pickups and return rides

Plan port pickups around the arrival window, with a passenger list and driver assignment for each car.

  1. 1

    Before arrival — Prepare the passenger lists

    Create the pickup rides, import passengers into each group booking and add the terminal details to the driver notes.

  2. 2

    Ship docks — Dispatch each pickup

    Drivers follow their assigned port-to-hotel rides; dispatch checks each car's status while the team at the terminal coordinates the passengers.

  3. 3

    Late clearance — Revise the pickup times

    The dispatcher updates the affected pickup times and sends revised details to the assigned drivers before they head to the terminal.

  4. 4

    Excursion returns — Same discipline, reversed

    Plan hotel-to-port pickups against the sailing deadline, then follow each ride's driver status to see which transfers are still in progress.

  5. 5

    Sail-away — The account closes

    Select completed rides for the client's invoice and keep the passenger lists with their bookings for later reference and billing queries.

Port arrivals put pressure on dispatch

Passengers leave the ship in a short window, a terminal can change and much of your fleet may be heading to the same pier. Dispatch needs clear pickup points and a current plan.

  • Many pickups in one arrival window

    When a cruise ship docks, many passengers need their cars at once. Keeping pickup times, vehicle assignments and passenger lists separate makes it harder to spot a clash before dispatch.

  • Schedules that move with the tide

    Sailings arrive early, clear customs late and switch berths at short notice. If your pickup times don't track the ship, drivers wait for hours or miss the guest entirely.

  • Groups, ports and hotels tangled together

    Port-to-hotel, hotel-to-airport and shore-excursion legs pile onto the same day. Without shared manifests and clear driver briefs, passengers and luggage end up on the wrong vehicle.

Built for port operations

Everything a dispatcher needs on a call day, from the passenger manifest to live tracking on the quayside.

  • Port, hotel and airport legs

    Build multi-leg journeys — quay to hotel, hotel to airport, shore excursions — on one booking, each leg priced and dispatched separately with the right vehicle.

  • Plan around the ship's arrival

    Set pickup times for the expected arrival window. If the ship or customs clearance is late, update the affected rides and send revised details to the assigned drivers.

  • Fleet across every pier

    See assigned vehicles and driver statuses on one dispatch board. Review capacity and reassign rides when the berth, pickup point or passenger count changes.

  • Group and manifest scheduling

    Create a booking with several cars, import the passenger manifest and review the allocation. Keep each car's passenger list, pickup details and name-board text with its ride.

  • Meet-and-greet at the terminal

    Keep the terminal, pier, name-board text and passenger contact in the driver's job details, so the chauffeur knows where to meet the group and whom to contact.

  • Live tracking and driver status

    Driver GPS updates around every 30 seconds. Dispatch follows the cars on the map, and passengers can use a tracking link to see their assigned vehicle approach.

Frequently asked questions

Can we dispatch several cars for one port pickup?

Yes. Create a group booking with several cars, then import or paste the passenger manifest. Names are allocated across the cars by capacity, with overflow flagged for review. Assign drivers and check each car's passenger list, pickup details and name-board text.

How do we handle a change to the ship's arrival?

Update the pickup times on the affected rides when you learn of a delay or berth change. Assigned drivers receive revised job details, and you can check the current times and statuses on the dispatch board before sending cars to the port.

How much does it cost, and are there per-ride fees?

Plans start at EUR 49/mo and include the driver app and the online booking widget. There are no per-ride commissions and no setup fee. Your own bookings and rides you hand to partners yourself are included in your plan at no extra charge. For larger operators and networks, Business and Enterprise add automatic sales through your carriers: your booking widget prices rides from your carriers' rates and hands each one on by itself — 200 bookings a month included, then €1.50 each.

Can we run it in our language and move our existing data across?

Yes. The interface runs in 10 languages, with EU VAT invoicing and KSeF for Poland. Import clients, vehicles and bookings from CSV, preview the data and undo if needed. Your data stays hosted in Frankfurt, Germany.
