Five questions to settle with the transport provider
Ask for these answers in writing and keep them with the booking for the journey from Ketou to Ouidah. A reliable reply should identify the actual transport chain, exact meeting points, total charge and named handover at the destination—not merely repeat the two place names.
- Where exactly should I report in Ketou, and which terminal, gate, hotel entrance, jetty or landmark identifies the pickup?
- Is this one continuous journey to Ouidah, or will I change vehicles, terminals, airports, ferries or drivers along the way?
- What is included in the quoted price, and can fuel, tolls, border charges, parking, waiting time or luggage create an extra payment?
- What luggage is accepted for this service, where will it be stored, and what happens if a bag is oversized, fragile or delayed?
- Who is responsible for the final handover in Ouidah, and which working telephone number and fallback meeting point should I save?
Tickets, identification and booking proof
For the domestic journey from Ketou to Ouidah, keep the booking reference, accepted identification, driver or operator contact, pickup instructions and payment record together. Parks, islands, protected areas and activities can also require a separate reservation, permit or entry payment.
