Booking Questions

What Are Booking Questions?

The Booking Questions feature allows you to request additional required information from the customer during the checkout process.

The following booking questions are currently available for you to configure:

Traveler names (all travelers)
Weight and height
Pick-up/arrival location and drop-off/departure location
