Online check in
All clients are required to complete online check in at least 12 hours prior to their vehicle pick up. Check in can be completed as early as their booking is completed and it helps the pick-up station to allocate their pick-up time in advance of the day. This also reduces time taken at check in on the day, allowing more time to spend on the vehicle demonstration.
