REFUNDS AND CUSTOMER CLAIMS These terms and conditions do not affect Your statutory rights. Particular Terms and Conditions for Transport HEALTH AND SAFETY ALL PASSENGERS must wear SEAT BELTS during the journey, regardless of their age. A passenger who is wearing a seat belt is not only a danger to himself but also to the other passengers and the driver. SMOKING is strictly FORBIDDEN in the vehicle. The passengers must follow the driver’s safety instructions, for example regarding placement of baggage so that it does not constitute a hazard. The driver is entitled to refuse or terminate transport immediately if any passenger fails to respect these health and safety conditions after being reminded to do so, in which case no refund will be provided. CHANGE, TRANSFER, CANCELLATION & NO SHOW All bookings are transferable to another client if the characteristics of the itinerary do not change. We may at our discretion allow a larger number of passengers if no increase is due to subcontractors and no further vehicles are required. You must inform Us without delay if you transfer the booking, providing us updated information of client name, e-mail, address and phone numbers. You and the new client must verify that you receive our confirmation, as the new client could be refused transport if We are not aware of the transfer. We decline all responsibility if You do not follow these instructions. If You do not present Yourself at the agreed pick-up point at the time agreed, then We will make all reasonable effort to contact and find You. If it comes to your knowledge that Your arrival or departure will be delayed more than 30 minutes, then You must inform Us as soon as possible, whether you become aware of this before or during the trip. If within 60 minutes of the agreed time You have not presented Yourself, then a no show condition has occurred, and We will return home, unless You have contacted us and a new agreement has been made. If You are more than 30 minutes late, We reserve the right to invoice the waiting time according to the published rates. The full price is due in case of a no-show.
