Be sure to make your reservation with one of the online platforms and get confirmation. Make sure the price is what it is supposed to be. If you plan to arrive very early in the morning , like anytime after midnight , make sure you make the reservation during the day before . Otherwise you can't do it online and you will get charged without anybody you can tell you more
