Grace Period
3.1 Whilst we do everything in our power to be on time for your booking, there may be reasons out of our control that will make a driver run late. All bookings will be subject to a ‘Grace Period’ if your driver is running late for their booking, allowing them additional time to arrive at the pickup location and complete your trip.
3.2 On journeys collecting from an airport, we will apply a one-hour (1) grace period. If you don’t wait for your driver and organize alternative transport, your booking will be marked as canceled, and no refund will be issued. If your driver hasn’t arrived at the pickup location after the grace period has elapsed and you organize alternative transport, please call our office to inform us. You will be issued a refund to your card for the full amount paid. This may take 1-3 business days to appear in your account (depending on your bank).

If your driver hasn’t arrived at the pickup location after the grace period has elapsed and you organize alternative transport, please call our office to inform us. You will be issued a refund to your card for the full amount paid. This may take 3-5 business days to appear in your account (depending on your bank).
No Shows
4.1 Your booking will be marked as a ‘No Show’ if you fail to turn up for your booking. Your driver is required to wait fifteen (15) minutes after scheduled collection time. We will make reasonable efforts to contact you. After this time, they will be permitted to leave. If you make contact and ask your driver to wait longer than 15 minutes, waiting time will apply. Please note that if your driver’s schedule doesn’t allow for waiting past the 15-minute limit, they will be authorized to leave, and your booking will be marked as ‘No Show’.
