- Where exactly should I report in Bissau, and which terminal, gate, hotel entrance, jetty or landmark identifies the pickup?
- Is this one continuous journey to Quinhamel, 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 Quinhamel, and which working telephone number and fallback meeting point should I save?
