3. Booking Procedures
- To initiate a reservation, please send a query through our 'Book Your Ride' page, WhatsApp, or official email. We will verify our schedule and provide a quote. If availability is confirmed, we will issue a secure payment link. Your journey is only secured once a transaction is verified. Following payment, a final confirmation note will be sent via your chosen contact method. It is your responsibility to provide correct contact info to ensure seamless coordination and verification of all journey details.
4. Refund and Cancellation Rules
- To receive a full refund, users must provide a written cancellation via email or WhatsApp. A 24-hour notice is mandatory for airport transfers, large group bookings, and all long-distance travel. For smaller local journeys, you must cancel at least 1 hour before the pickup. Failure to notify us within these windows, or failing to meet the driver at the designated time, results in the full booking amount being retained. We do not provide credit or partial refunds for late cancellations or passenger no-show incidents.
5. Waiting Times and Delays
- We track aircraft arrival times to adjust for flight changes. Airport pickups include a 60-minute grace period starting from flight touchdown. Once landed, your driver will message you to confirm they are on-site and will ask you to call them only after you have cleared customs and collected your bags.
Passengers are required to make this contact once ready, before walking to the designated parking zones. This ensures the driver arrives at the meeting point precisely when you are ready.
If waiting exceeds the initial 60 minutes, an extra hour can be arranged for a £20.00 fee. Failure to communicate or meet your driver before the grace period ends may result in extra costs or the trip being marked as a no-show, billed at the full rate. Using our service constitutes legal consent to these specific waiting time fees and communication protocols.
