- Airport, terminal and the time you need to be there
- Passengers, luggage and child seats

Airport taxi pickup points in Thirsk
Make the pickup point clear when you book, especially for early flights, luggage or return journeys.
Home or hotel pickups
Give the full address, postcode and any entrance note. For town-centre hotels, confirm whether the driver should meet at the door or nearby on Market Place.
Thirsk Station pickups
Use the station forecourt as the meeting point and include your train arrival time. Pre-booking is sensible because the station sits outside the town centre.
Town centre pickups
For Market Place, restaurants and evening pickups, agree the exact side of the square or venue entrance so the driver is not circling at busy times.
