Built around your peace of mind

Premium travel is about more than comfort. It is knowing who you travel with, what you booked and where to turn if something changes.

BEFORE

Checked before you book

Every operator on Pickup is a registered business. Their cars, boats and aircraft are document-checked, and every chauffeur, captain and crew member is identity-checked before they can take a booking.

How operators are verified

DURING

Stay in touch while you travel

Follow your trip live and share it with someone you trust. Your chauffeur or crew’s number is visible only for the trip window. On car and boat trips, we ask “Are you OK?” after an unplanned stop of 15 minutes. In an emergency, call 112.

How trip sharing works

AFTER

Supported if something changes

Report a problem straight from the trip screen and our team reviews it. You can also rate your trip and block anyone you do not want to travel with again.

How safety works on Pickup

Pickup is the booking platform. Independent, licensed operators provide every car, boat and jet, always chauffeured or crewed. Here is what is in place.

VERIFIED

Verified operators

Every operator is a registered business, checked before listing.

DOCUMENTS

Document-checked assets

Vehicles, vessels and aircraft carry valid documents before they go live.

CREW

Identity-checked crew

Chauffeurs, captains and flight crew are identity-checked.

PRIVACY

Numbers only around your trip

Phone numbers are shared from 1 hour before to 1 hour after a trip. Chat stays in the app.

SHARE MY TRIP

Share your journey

Send a read-only link to someone you trust. It stops working 1 hour after the trip.

REPORT & BLOCK

Report and block

Report a problem from the trip screen and block anyone you never want to travel with again.

SUPPORT

In-app support

Chat in Help in the app. An automated AI assistant answers first, and “Talk to a person” brings in our team. Or email support@pickupcharter.com. Urgent safety issues during an active trip are prioritised.

CHECK-INS

“Are you OK?” check-ins

On car and boat trips, we check in after an unplanned stop of 15 minutes. You can choose to alert your emergency contacts if you do not answer. In an emergency, call 112.

Safety questions

Does Pickup monitor my trip?

On car and boat trips, we ask “Are you OK?” after an unplanned stop of 15 minutes, and you can choose to alert your emergency contacts if you do not answer. In-app safety features are secondary information tools and do not constitute an emergency response service. Pickup does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted live monitoring, and automated prompts do not shift emergency response duties away from public authorities. In an emergency, call 112. When you are safe, report it in the app or email support@pickupcharter.com.

When can my chauffeur or crew see my number?

Only from 1 hour before to 1 hour after your trip. Outside that window, use chat in the app.

What does Pickup check?

Operators are verified as registered businesses, their vehicles, vessels and aircraft are document-checked and their crew are identity-checked.

Who provides the car, boat or jet?

Independent, licensed operators. Pickup is the booking platform, not the carrier. Every booking is chauffeured or crewed.
