How does Swvl handle group transport to large events?
Swvl coordinates event transport by assigning vetted captains, sizing fleet to your confirmed group, and running live-tracked routes from pickup points to the venue. Operators book through the dashboard or contact our team directly. Most charters confirm within 24 to 48 hours.
Can I request a custom report or briefing from Swvl?

How does the Captain App handle multi-stop routes?
