The days it is hard to move, and why

Every date below is a day when something is on that changes how long a car takes. It is built from the event calendar we keep for our own dispatch — dates checked against the organiser, not scraped — and the same demand model that prices a ride. If your date is not listed, nothing is scheduled against it. That is the useful answer most of the time.

How to read it

Clear
Nothing scheduled. Travel normally.
Busy
One thing is on. Leave a little earlier than the map says.
Heavy
A major event, or two smaller ones overlapping. Book the day before and add half an hour to any airport run.
Severe
Several events at once in one city. Treat the published pickup time as the latest, not the target — the constraint is the kerb, not the car.

Two busy things on one day is not twice as busy — the roads, the kerbs and the available cars are shared, so a day that stacks reads heavier than either event alone. That is the part a list of events will not tell you, and it is the reason this page exists.

A storm warning is not the top of this scale. It is a different question — whether to travel at all — so it is marked on its own. QUO waives the cancellation fee on any ride a hurricane or tropical storm warning covers, and refunds the deposit.

Markets on this page: Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Miami Beach, Orlando, Palm Beach. The underlying calendar is also available as a subscription your own calendar app can read — see the demand calendars. If you are planning a move of more than a few people, the desk would rather talk to you before the date than on it: corporate travel.
