How to request a return journey or extra stops

Reviewed 2026-10-19 · Airport Transfer Dubai

Short answer

Tick 'Add a return journey' on the quote form and give the return leg its own date, time, pickup and destination. For extra stops, list each address in order, with how long you expect to stay and who joins or leaves. Both are confirmed in your quote, and each leg is planned as its own pickup.

How do I add a return journey?

On the quote form, tick “Add a return journey” in step 1. Step 2 then opens a return section with its own date, time, pickup, destination and an optional flight number. If your first journey is a departure from Dubai, the return becomes an arrival, and the form asks for the flight arrival date and time instead. You can also send both legs in one WhatsApp message.

Either way, each leg carries its own date and time in UAE time, and the team reads them as separate pickups.

What should I send for the return leg?

Treat it as a fresh request. These details matter:

  • The return date and time, in UAE time
  • The pickup address, which may differ from where you were dropped off
  • The destination, or the airport and terminal if you are flying
  • The flight number, if you have one
  • Passengers and bags, in case either has changed

For a flight out of DXB, the terminal depends on your airline. Dubai Airports lists Terminal 3 as dedicated to Emirates, and your ticket or airline shows the terminal for other carriers. When to leave is a separate question, and departure pickup planning explains how to choose a time.

What does a complete request look like?

Here is an example of the level of detail that lets us quote both legs without follow-up questions:

Arrival: DXB Terminal 3, 12 December, landing 14:20 UAE time, 3 passengers, 4 large bags, going to a hotel in JBR. Return: 18 December, pickup 03:30 UAE time from the same hotel, going to DXB Terminal 3, 3 passengers, 5 large bags because of shopping.

Notice that the return states its own date, its own time and its own bag count. The extra case on the way back is the sort of change that moves a request from one vehicle class to the next.

Does the return have to mirror the first journey?

No. A return often starts somewhere else: a different hotel after a move mid-trip, a friend’s villa, an office. The airport can differ too, for instance on a ticket that lands at one airport and departs from another. Say which airport applies to each leg. If you are not sure whether your flight uses DXB or DWC, the DXB or DWC guide shows how to check.

What if my return plans are not fixed yet?

Send the first journey now and message us with the return once the flight is set. Avoid entering a placeholder time for the return. A guess can end up in the quote as if it were real, and then somebody has to catch it.

When the details arrive, we reply with the return quote in the same conversation. The transfer is arranged once you accept the quote and the team confirms the details with you.

How do I request extra stops?

Use the “Extra stops” box on the quote form, or list the stops in your WhatsApp message. The form’s own example is collecting a colleague in Business Bay on the way. For each stop, give:

  • The address and the entrance, using the advice in hotel, tower and villa pickups
  • The order of the stops
  • How long you expect to stay, or whether the driver should wait or come back
  • Who gets in or out there, because the headcount can change the vehicle

Mention any stop that matters more than the others, such as a meeting with a fixed start. The team can then build the route around it.

When is an hourly chauffeur a better fit?

A multi-stop journey suits stops you already know, in an order you have chosen. The multi-stop journeys page covers that style of trip. If the day depends on how long things take, such as a meeting that may run over, ask about the hourly and executive chauffeur instead, where the car stays with you between stops.

What should I ask about waiting and cancellation?

The service includes 30 minutes of free waiting, and free cancellation applies when you cancel at least 48 hours before pickup. With several legs or stops, ask how those apply to each one. Does the free waiting cover every pickup or only some? What happens if you cancel one leg of a return journey but keep the other? The answers belong in the quote, and what your quote covers lists the other questions worth asking.

Questions about this topic

Can I arrange the return journey later?

Yes. Send the first journey now and message us the return details once your flight is set. Keep it in the same WhatsApp conversation so the team can see both legs together.

Can the return start from a different address?

Yes, and many do. Give the new pickup address and entrance for the return leg, plus the destination or the airport and terminal.

Can I add a stop on the day?

Tell us as early as you can. A change on the day depends on the driver and the timing, so the team checks and confirms it with you rather than assuming.

Can I leave from a different airport than the one I arrived at?

Yes, say which airport applies to each leg. Check your ticket first, because DXB and DWC are separate airports.

Will I get one quote for both legs?

Send both legs in the same request so the team sees the whole plan, and ask for the quote to set out each leg so you can see what covers what.
