Group Departure from Several Addresses
Updated 3 min read
Friends or colleagues flying out on the same flight but staying at different hotels face a real question before booking: is it one car picking everyone up along the way, or does each address need its own booking? The honest answer depends on what a single booking can actually do, and it's worth knowing before you assume one option and plan around it.
This lays out the two realistic options and how to choose between them.
Option one: meet at one address
The simplest and most reliable option is agreeing on one meeting point — one hotel lobby, one central address — and having everyone travel there in time for a single pickup. This avoids any uncertainty about whether a booking can route between several stops, and it means the whole group arrives together in one car with one fixed price for the trip.
It does mean asking some group members to travel a short distance to meet the others, which is a genuine cost in time and hassle, but it's the option that's guaranteed to work with a standard booking.
Option two: separate bookings from each address
The alternative is booking each address separately, timed so each car arrives at the airport with enough margin for the shared flight's check-in deadline. This costs more overall since you're paying for more than one car, but it removes the need for anyone to travel to a shared meeting point first, and each group can set its own realistic pickup time from its own address.
Choosing between the two
The right choice usually comes down to how far apart the hotels are and how much everyone minds a short trip to a shared meeting point. If the addresses are close together, meeting at one of them barely costs anyone any time and saves paying for extra cars. If the group is spread across the city, separate bookings from each address are often simpler than asking half the group to travel across town before the day has even properly started.
Whichever you choose, make the decision before the morning of the flight, not on it — a group trying to agree on logistics while also packing and checking out is a recipe for someone being late.

Questions people ask before booking
Can one booking pick up passengers from several different addresses?
The reliable way to travel together in one car is to agree on a single meeting point and book from there — that's the option that works cleanly with a standard booking rather than assuming a multi-stop route.
Is it cheaper to meet at one address than to book separately?
Usually, since one car for the whole group costs one fixed price rather than paying for several separate cars — but it does mean part of the group travelling to the meeting point first.
How do we time separate bookings from different hotels for the same flight?
Set each pickup with enough margin for your shared check-in deadline from that specific address, treating each booking as its own independent trip to the same flight rather than assuming they need to be coordinated minute-to-minute.
Does the price change if more people are travelling in one car?
No — the price is for the vehicle category and route, not per person, so a full car costs the same as a car with one passenger for the same journey.
What if our group is too large for one car even meeting at one address?
Check the passenger capacity of the category you're considering — for a larger group, the Minibus category seats eight, or split the group across more than one booking if it's larger than that.
