Put the immovable times on one page
Treat meal time, family pickups and the trip home as fixed. Boarding, travel and optional stops should fit around those commitments.

Plan the transportation
Start with the times you cannot change.
Start with meal time, family pickups and the trip home so you know when everyone needs to arrive. When choosing the vehicle, also consider food trays, gifts, children, older relatives and mobility needs.
Share the confirmed addresses, group size and timing for Thanksgiving. If one stop is still undecided, it can be added later.
Plan the experience
Plan around the times that matter most.
When choosing a vehicle, account for food trays, gifts, children, older relatives and mobility needs. Work backward from meal time, family pickups and the trip home to set the pickup time, then confirm every address before the day arrives.
What to have ready
A few details make the quote easier.
For thanksgiving, start with these details. If something is still undecided, send what you know and we can help from there.
- Confirmed date, address and must-arrive time for Thanksgiving
- Every rider plus food trays, gifts, children, older relatives and mobility needs
- Boarding time based on meal time, family pickups and the trip home
- Named group contact and exact final drop-off
Ideas for the day
Three details to confirm before Thanksgiving.
These are the points that most often affect the thanksgiving route, vehicle fit and day-of pickup instructions.
Make room for what comes along
A comfortable fit depends on food trays, gifts, children, older relatives and mobility needs, not simply the number of people riding.
Name the curb—not only the address
Holiday freeway traffic can make distant household pickups take longer than expected. Send the exact meeting place to every rider before the day begins.
