When booking the Chauffeur cars for business class online, it shows an option for me to book a car each for my wife and I who are traveling together. When I booked one car, I get the message: "1 of 2 cars booked." Since this is our first time on Emirates, I want to make sure I am booking the car correctly. I wanted to make sure there wasn't a translation problem here. Am I supposed to book a car for each person? We only need one car. Sorry, I am confused. Thanks for your help.

OMAAT wrote that he was able to get the chauffeur just by walking up to the chauffeur stand at DXB and presenting his F ticket. But that was a year ago. Does his still work? I fly on an AS award ticket EK F to DXB in 2 weeks and would love to take the Emirates car to my hotel. I don't have any hopes of it working at my next destination, though.

you basically qualify for two cars to pick you up , but if you think 1 car is enough for your needs ( baggage ) then your all set .....

just try a go-show (have done this many times, EK ticket though), if you book it online it'll most certainly be auto cancelled from the system

My wife and I have snagged seats in J to DXB in a sale and we are travelling from LGW on the earlier flight leaving at 10am.
We would prefer to go down the night before and have a night in the Sofitel, then roll into the terminal the next morning in a leisurely fashion (the Sofitel is right next to the terminal).
Will the chauffeur service come the day before if we want or are we tied to going down early the morning of the flight?
Thanks for the advice!
