Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a travel companion for my parents flying to Europe?
Using Sahayak, you can submit your parents' flight details or browse our active listings to find other Indian community members traveling on the same route. Connect via WhatsApp to coordinate travel assistance at the airport or during layovers.
Can I find someone to carry urgent documents to India?
Yes! Many community members offer carrier services. Look for listings tagged with 'Letter / Documents' and contact the traveler directly. Always ensure safety and mutual trust before exchanging documents.
What are the safety and customs guidelines for carrying medicines?
Carrying medicines across international borders is subject to strict customs laws. If you are sending or carrying medicine:
  • Doctor's Prescription: A valid prescription matching the patient's name and details MUST accompany the medicine.
  • Original Packaging: Medicine must remain in its original box with clear labels and expiration dates visible.
  • Banned Substances: Verify that the medicine does not contain ingredients banned or heavily restricted in the destination country (such as specific psychotropic substances).
What precautions should I take when carrying or sending parcels?
Safety is paramount when carrying items for others:
  • Right to Inspect: As a traveler (carrier), you have the absolute right to inspect the contents of any letter, package, or bag before accepting it. Requesters should never hand over pre-sealed boxes.
  • No Valuables: Avoid sending high-value items, jewelry, large sums of cash, or luxury items.
  • Domestic Shipping: You can coordinate handovers by using local post or courier services (like DHL in Germany or BlueDart in India) to send the parcel to or from the traveler's home address, saving travel time for both parties.
Is it safe to use community travel assistance?
Sahayak connects members of Indian diaspora in Europe. While it is built on community trust, we advise all users to verify identities and use common sense before handing over documents, money, or goods.
