A practical KASEL DRIVE guide

How to prepare for an international transfer from Ukraine to Europe

Preparation for a private international transfer starts before the vehicle arrives. Agreeing the route, passengers, luggage and important preferences in advance makes departure day calmer.

This practical checklist helps you assemble the required information, check documents, organise your belongings and remain in contact with the driver. It complements individual planning for the specific journey.

01

What to agree when booking the transfer

For a quote and confirmation, provide the date, preferred pickup time and exact address, final destination, passenger count and contact number. Mention multiple addresses, a child seat, unusual luggage or other important conditions at the outset.

02

Check your documents before departure day

Check the availability and validity of the documents required for your particular journey well in advance. Do not leave this until the morning of pickup.

This guide is not legal advice. Requirements can vary by nationality, age, status, destination and the rules in force at the time of travel. Passengers are responsible for checking current requirements through official government sources.

03

Provide the exact passenger count

The KASEL DRIVE Mercedes-Benz V250 Extra Long has up to 7 passenger seats in its standard configuration, excluding the driver. The exact number of people is needed to agree seating and luggage placement.

For a long route, the journey setup may depend on driver rest arrangements or a second driver. The final configuration and conditions are agreed individually.

04

Agree the luggage in advance

Provide the number and approximate dimensions of suitcases, carry-on bags, pushchairs and unusual items. The same number of bags can occupy very different volumes, so size matters.

Do not consider the suitcase count alone: passengers and luggage need to be assessed together. Advance agreement helps prevent surprises during loading.

05

What to keep within reach in the cabin

Avoid placing documents, your phone, a charger, water and anything you may need during the journey deep in the luggage compartment. Pack them together in a small cabin bag.

Keep money, keys and valuable personal belongings with you and under your own control throughout the journey.

06

Prepare your phone, charger and connectivity

Charge your phone before departure and bring a compatible cable or power bank. Save the driver's number and make sure the contact number on the booking will be reachable at pickup time.

For an international route, check your method of mobile connectivity or internet access in advance. Specific tariff conditions depend on your operator.

07

What to bring for comfort on a long journey

Water, a light snack, comfortable clothing, a small pillow, sleep mask or headphones may be useful on a long journey. Your selection will depend on personal habits, the season and route duration.

Avoid filling the cabin with large bags: keep only the things you genuinely expect to use while travelling close to you.

08

Keep medication and personal items accessible

Keep personal medication, hygiene products and other essentials somewhere you can reach quickly. Check that you have brought your usual personal supply for the journey.

KASEL DRIVE does not provide medical advice. Questions about medicines, carriage conditions or health should be discussed with an appropriate professional and checked against official rules in advance.

09

Stops can be discussed before departure

On a private transfer, reasonable stops for rest, toilets or food can be agreed to suit the route. If you need a stop at a particular place, mention it when booking.

Stops affect the total journey time. This is especially important if your journey connects with a later time-sensitive event or onward travel.

10

Recheck the pickup time and address before the journey

On the day before or shortly before departure, recheck the date, agreed time, exact pickup address, contact number and final destination. Report important changes as early as possible.

If the transfer is part of a journey to a European airport, separately check the flight details and the planned time buffer.

11

Stay in contact with the driver

Keep your phone switched on and reachable on pickup day. This makes it easier to clarify the meeting point, access to the address or changes affecting the specific journey.

Personal communication is part of the private service: route details are handled directly with your booking in mind.
