*Observera att det troligtvis inte finns någon mappning på transportörens sida för dessa tjänster och tilläggstjänster. Detta innebär att även om du skickar en bokning med tilläggstjänsten Chaufförsavisering så är det inte säkert att transportören kommer att se och genomföra detta. Prata med din transportör om hur tjänster och tilläggstjänster ska bokas eller kommuniceras, och hör av dig till support@schipt.com om du har några frågor.
