Trip pickup / departure reminder WhatsApp templates

The night before a trip, travellers want three things: when, where and who is picking them up. A pickup or departure reminder with the driver’s name, vehicle and meeting point saves a stream of calls on the morning of departure.

Variables such as {{1}} are filled with each customer’s details when you send. Example values are shown in the preview. Writing your own? Check it before you submit.

When to send it

  • The evening before a tour or transfer pickup
  • When the driver and vehicle have been assigned
  • A day before a flight or train departure booked through you
  • When a pickup time or point changes

Tips for approval and replies

  • Give the driver’s name and number and the vehicle number, so travellers can spot the car and call directly.
  • Say “reminder” or name the booking in the first line. A message that is only a time and a place leaves the reviewer guessing what it is for.
  • Don’t add “book your next trip with us”. Anything that sells the next holiday makes the reminder marketing.
  • For group departures, import the traveller list as a CSV with pickup time and point as custom fields and send one broadcast — each traveller gets their own details.

Category: Utility

Utility templates are about something the customer already did, carry nothing promotional, and cost far less per message than marketing. Add an offer and Meta bills it as marketing. See what it costs · More for travel & tours: WhatsApp for travel & tours

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us.

Is a pickup reminder a utility WhatsApp template?

Yes. It is about a trip the traveller already booked. Keep promotions for other trips out of it.

How early should I send a pickup reminder?

The evening before usually works best — late enough that the driver is assigned, early enough for the traveller to plan. For pickups before 7 AM, send it by early evening rather than late at night.
