Turn your existing itinerary into a stop-by-stop worksheet with confirmation owners and unresolved timing clearly marked.

Copy your stops into a working brief

Keep your chosen stop order rather than adding destinations. Include the starting location, planned appointments or activities, dinner, overnight destination if applicable, and the final handoff.

Copy this block for each stop:

  • Stop name and full address: ___

  • Purpose or reservation name: ___

  • Scheduled event or appointment time: ___

  • Desired arrival and departure: ___

  • Parking or chauffeur collection location: ___

  • Luggage accompanying you: ___

Label unconfirmed entries pending. Share the completed sequence with DDE so the discussion covers the itinerary rather than an isolated destination.

Assign confirmation owners

Use this as your planning ledger, not as a statement of operator requirements. Replace each owner with a named person.

ItemSuggested ownerConfirmation to record
Venue arrivalAttendeeCurrent arrival instructions and event time
Dinner stopReservation holderBooking time and restaurant address
Parking or chauffeur collectionTrip organizerDestination-specific location and arrangement
Delivery and collection, if requestedRental contactAddress-specific arrangements and fees confirmed with DDE

Add status: pending / confirmed and confirmation source: ___ to each entry.

Separate fixed times from open questions

Review the brief without filling gaps with guessed driving times. Keep scheduled commitments separate from timing that still needs agreement.

For every unresolved transition, complete:

  • Leaving stop: ___

  • Next stop: ___

  • Fixed commitment there: ___

  • Open issue: departure time / arrival instructions / collection timing

  • Person responsible for resolving it: ___

  • Confirmed answer and source: ___

If a commitment changes, update the affected stops and share the revised brief with DDE. Keep unresolved timing visibly pending rather than presenting the itinerary as fully confirmed.

Published vehicle rates for your inquiry

These figures come from DDE's published fleet entries. Confirm the complete quote and applicable terms for your dates; a displayed rate does not confirm availability.
