Confirm your exact arrival point with the transfer operator when you book, whether at the airport or a border stop, then save the pickup message and your accommodation address. If your journey starts outside Eswatini, arrange internet for that leg separately.
Once you're online, send a short arrival message on WhatsApp or retrieve an updated meeting instruction. These plans are data-only, so a driver who expects an ordinary phone call needs another way to reach you.
For an Ezulwini Valley stay, pin the property entrance before you set out. Save the route on Wi-Fi and switch off automatic app updates so a small allowance stays free for changes to your plans.
Save before you goSave the pickup instructions, the driver's agreed contact method, and the entrance details for your accommodation.
