Start with the journey you actually need
Write down passenger numbers, collection addresses, destination, travel dates and the return plan. A daily staff route, an airport transfer and a private funeral group have different requirements. Include shift times, luggage, accessibility needs and intermediate stops before requesting quotes. Suppliers can then respond to the same brief rather than pricing different assumptions.
Check the operator and driver documents
Ask who will operate the journey, especially if the company coordinates vehicles through a network. Request the applicable operating licence and current vehicle roadworthiness information. South African government guidance says drivers carrying passengers for an income need a Professional Driving Permit. Confirm the proposed driver's permit and licence cover the passenger service; site-specific contracts may need further checks. This is buyer guidance, not a substitute for legal advice.
Compare the entire quotation
Check the vehicle, passenger capacity, dates, addresses and agreed stops. Ask whether the total includes VAT, tolls, parking, venue waiting time, driver accommodation and return travel where applicable. For recurring contracts, confirm working days, overtime trips and changes to headcount. A supplier should explain how changes affect the price; do not assume every quoted fee includes the same items.
Confirm who handles changes and problems
Agree a named booking contact and an on-the-day contact, then ask how delays, breakdowns or a changed programme will be handled. Read cancellation and payment terms before accepting. Share the final passenger and collection plan with the coordinator, and confirm any requested accessibility arrangements for the specific vehicle rather than relying on a general fleet description.
Send Broadway Affiliated a clear brief
Broadway Affiliated accepts passenger transport enquiries for groups and organisations, including staff, corporate, contract and specialised trips. Send your itinerary and requirements for a quotation. Vehicle choice, route availability and the service terms are confirmed for your request; a page describing a service is not a confirmed booking or timetable.
