  • Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before handing over your keys.
  • Our terms and conditions apply to all customers, including direct bookings and bookings made through a third party that has sub-contracted its obligations to us or acts as our agent.

1. BOOKINGS AND SERVICES

  • 1.1 Bookings through our website or Consolidators are deemed to be made when final confirmation of the booking has been sent via e-mail. All terms and conditions are deemed to have been accepted at the point confirmation is made.
  • 1.2 Whilst every effort is made to ensure that collections and deliveries of the vehicle are made at the requested times, we do not accept any responsibility for delays of our service caused by circumstances beyond our control, such as traffic congestion, delayed flights, road accidents, security alerts, severe weather conditions, luggage delays, and immigration delays. This list is not exhaustive.

  • 2.4 Where a Meet and Greet service is booked, we kindly ask that you call us once you have cleared Baggage and Customs. This allows us to process your car in a timely manner and make sure it's ready and waiting for you. Please note that if you call prior to this, or there is an unreasonable delay from your call to you arriving at the collection point, you may be charged for any additional parking charges made by the airport authority.

  • 3.4 Any alterations made within 24 hours of departure and during the duration of stay will incur a charge of £20.00 for each amendment made. All amendments must be via e-mail and will only be acknowledged once a confirmation e-mail is received.
  • 3.5 Cancellations or amendments cannot be accepted if you book a supersaver, saver, or non-flexible parking product.

4. LIABILITIES AND OTHER TERMS

Any claims by the customer in respect of the delivery of the product must be made against the service provider and subject to its terms and conditions.
