For airport and long-distance train station pickups, you get one hour of complimentary wait time. For example, if your pickup is at 10 AM, your chauffeur will wait until 11 AM at no extra charge. Providing your flight or train number helps us track your arrival and adjust for any delays. If there is a long delay and the chauffeur cannot wait, we will contact you to find a solution.
The complimentary wait time only applies to pickups. Any waiting at a stop during your journey is charged per minute, and rates vary by city. You can find more details about stops here.
When you book an hourly ride, the time starts from your selected pickup time and ends after the booked duration. If you need more time during your ride, just ask your chauffeur if they can extend it. Added time is charged in 30-minute increments at the same rate as your booking.
You can change your pickup and drop-off locations in the online up to 60 minutes before your pickup time. Note that changing the drop-off or adding stops may incur extra charges. If you are past the 60-minute mark or already in the vehicle, inform your chauffeur about the route change. After your ride, BLV will send you an updated invoice reflecting any added distance and drive time.
Including your flight number in your booking helps your chauffeur track your flight and adjust the pickup time for delays or early arrivals. If you forget to add it, we will try to contact you.

If you need to add this info last minute and cannot edit your booking, please contact Customer Care. If you have your chauffeur's contact info, it is helpful to send them the details as well.

Most airlines recommend arriving at the airport 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights. However, frequent travelers often find their own timing can vary. Some prefer to arrive early, while others like to cut it close.
Here are a few things to consider:
- Have you already checked in?
- Do you have bags to check?
- Is it a smaller regional airport or a larger international hub?
- Is it peak travel time (holidays, summer, school breaks, etc.).

You will not be charged for early arrival. Your complimentary wait time starts at your scheduled pickup time: one hour for airport and train station pickups, and 15 minutes for others.
