Blue Diamond Transfers supports both pre-booked and on-demand (ASAP) bookings.
You can:
- Schedule a booking in advance, or
- Book for ASAP pickup via our web booking system or the Blue Diamond Passenger App, which immediately dispatches to the first available vehicle
This article explains when to book in advance and when on-demand booking may be suitable.
Booking in Advance (Recommended Where Possible)
Booking ahead of time gives you the greatest certainty and is recommended for:
- Airport transfers
- Corporate and executive travel
- Early morning or late-night trips
- Regional or long-distance travel
- Special events or hourly bookings
Advance bookings allow us to:
- Allocate the most suitable vehicle
- Ensure chauffeur availability
- Prepare for flight tracking and special requirements
For best results, we recommend booking 24–48 hours in advance where possible.
On-Demand (ASAP) Bookings
Blue Diamond Transfers also supports on-demand bookings.
When you select ASAP:
- Your booking is immediately dispatched
- The system offers the job to the first available suitable chauffeur
- Allocation happens in real time
On-demand bookings can be made via:
- Our web booking system
- The Blue Diamond Passenger App
This option is ideal for:
- Short-notice travel
- Unexpected schedule changes
- Same-day transport needs
Important Notes About On-Demand Bookings
While ASAP bookings are supported, availability depends on:
- Your location
- Vehicle type required
- Time of day
- Current booking demand
During busy periods or in regional locations, on-demand availability may be limited.
If an immediate vehicle is not available, booking in advance is always recommended.
Peak Periods and Busy Times
Availability can be tighter during:
- Morning and evening airport peaks
- Major events and conferences
- Public holidays and high-demand periods
During these times, advance booking provides the best outcome.
Regional and Interstate Travel
For regional areas and longer journeys:
- Advance booking is strongly recommended
- On-demand availability may be limited
- Early scheduling allows better planning and coverage
Corporate, EA & PA Bookings
For EAs, PAs, and Corporate Account holders:
- Advance bookings provide better oversight and planning
- On-demand bookings are useful for last-minute changes
- VIP profiles allow executives to self-book while remaining visible to assistants
Both booking types can be managed under the same corporate account.
Key Takeaway
- Advance booking = best availability and preparation
- ASAP booking = fast, on-demand dispatch where vehicles are available
Blue Diamond Transfers gives you flexibility while maintaining professional service standards.
