Practical checklist before confirming your booking

An intercity ride works best when expectations are clear from the start. Before you finalize a booking or accept a passenger, go through these points:

1. Confirm the meeting point: choose a place that is easy to reach and familiar to everyone, or agree on another reference point by message.
2. Agree on how costs are split: talk about how the cost of the trip will be divided and confirm everything before the trip, to avoid misunderstandings at the destination.
3. Ask about luggage: tell the driver the size and number of items you will bring, so they know whether there is room for everyone.
4. Plan the return: if you need to come back to Ubá, check whether a return trip has been posted or whether the same driver can make the return.
5. Have a backup plan: things come up, so keep a second travel option in case the arrangement changes.
6. Let someone you trust know: share your destination and expected arrival time with a family member or friend.

How to choose between offering and booking a seat

If you already travel often between Ubá and cities such as Visconde do Rio Branco or Rio Pomba, offering seats in your car can help share the cost of the trip. If you don't have a vehicle or prefer not to drive, you can book a seat and focus only on getting to the meeting point at the agreed time. In either case, describe the route clearly and reply to messages promptly, which helps build trust between drivers and passengers.
