Advantages of a private chartered car day tour:
▶ Full private space — the whole car is filled with familiar faces, ideal for family, friends and corporate team outings;
▶ DIY your own itinerary — as long as the route is reasonable, go wherever you want;

▶ Hotel pick‑up and drop‑off in Busan one‑stop direct — no need to head to a meeting point on your own;
▶ The more people, the better the price — the cost is shared among the group, making it more economical than public transport or packaged tours;
▶ A local driver‑guide who speaks Mandarin can assist with communication and offer sensible sightseeing suggestions;

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A) about private car charter in Korea

Q: How do I pay for the service? Does it require online payment? Can I just pay a deposit?

A: When booking a private car charter on HopeTrip, full payment must be made online. A deposit‑only payment method is currently not supported.

Q: What is the latest time I can book? Is booking 1 day in advance enough?

A: All airport transfer and pick‑up services require at least 2 days’ advance booking. For bookings made 1 day in advance, please contact customer service for urgent handling — in some cases, an urgent order surcharge may apply.

Q: What is the maximum number of passengers per vehicle? How are the number of passengers and luggage counted? What if there are children?

A: Both passengers and luggage take up seats. Please refer to the product description. The number of passengers plus the number of luggage pieces must not exceed the maximum seat capacity. Korean vehicles are relatively compact — for 7‑, 9‑ or 12‑seater cars, it is best that the 3 seats in the last row are not used for passengers, only for luggage.

Q: Can I be guaranteed a car after booking?

A: Under normal circumstances, booking 2 days in advance ensures car availability. For special cases, please consult customer service.

Q: What languages can the driver speak? Do they speak Mandarin? Is tipping required?

A: Most HopeTrip drivers are Mandarin‑speaking drivers. Tipping is not mandatory — guests may decide on their own based on the quality of service.

A: In such cases, the SMS or email may have been intercepted or automatically deleted. You may check your spam/junk folder. If it is still not there, you can ask customer service to resend it, or update your email address and have it resent.

Q: After booking airport transfer service, when will I receive the booking confirmation email?

A: Under normal circumstances, after payment is completed, customer service will confirm the order details with you and send the booking confirmation email within about 3 working days. If you have not received it 3 days before departure, please contact customer service promptly for assistance.

Q: Should the booking confirmation email be printed in colour or black and white? Does a screenshot printout matter?
