Field Technicians Flying in with Tool Cases

Updated 3 min read

A field technician's trip doesn't look like typical business travel — an early flight, tool cases instead of a laptop bag, and a site address instead of a hotel or office. The one thing that matters most in booking this kind of trip is making sure the car that shows up can actually take the tools, not just the person.

This guide covers how tool cases fit into a vehicle category's luggage capacity, booking a site address rather than a standard destination, and getting the receipt to the employer.

Counting tool cases as luggage

Each vehicle category has a combined luggage budget, and a large, heavy tool case counts toward it the same way a large suitcase would. If you're travelling with one or two substantial cases plus a bag of your own, a Standard, Electric or Business car's luggage budget may well cover it — but for multiple large cases, or particularly bulky equipment, the SUV/XL or Minibus category gives you the room to avoid anything being squeezed in awkwardly.

If you're not certain your equipment fits within a category's budget, mention it in the booking notes with a rough sense of size and weight, and we confirm before pickup rather than leaving it to be discovered at the kerb.

Booking a site address, not a standard destination

A job site isn't always a conventional street address — it might be a facility with its own entrance, a specific gate, or a location best described alongside a contact on site. Enter the most specific address you have, and use the notes field for anything that helps the driver find the right entrance once they're in the area.

Early flights and flight tracking

Field technician trips often mean the earliest flight of the day, landing before a site opens or before the rest of a working day has started elsewhere. Flight tracking works the same regardless of the hour — give us your flight number and your pickup follows your actual landing, even on the first arrival of the morning.

Receipts to the employer

Choose the company receipt option at booking and enter the employer's details — every trip generates a receipt with the price and VAT line shown clearly, made out to the company rather than to you personally.

Questions people ask before booking

Do tool cases count the same as regular luggage?

Yes — a large, heavy case counts toward a vehicle category's combined luggage budget the same way a suitcase would. For multiple large cases, consider SUV/XL or Minibus.

What if I'm not sure my equipment will fit?

Mention it in the booking notes with a rough sense of size and weight, and we confirm before pickup rather than leaving it to be discovered at pickup.

Can I book a job site that isn't a normal street address?

Enter the most specific address you have and use the notes field for anything that helps the driver find the right entrance or gate once they're in the area.

Does flight tracking work on the earliest flights of the day?

Yes — flight tracking works the same regardless of the hour, so your pickup follows the actual landing even on the first arrival of the morning.

Can the receipt go to my employer rather than to me?

Yes — choose the company receipt option and enter the employer's details, and the receipt is made out to the company with the price and VAT line shown.
