Tips from the road
- Enter your exact hotel or apartment address with the unit and a landmark note, since couriers may struggle with unfamiliar buildings.
- Keep your phone reachable so the rider can call you on arrival, especially at hotels with multiple entrances.
- Check whether your area allows cash on delivery if your foreign card is declined at checkout.
