7.       Additional Charges and Surcharges

7.1.    Unless it has been agreed otherwise, the hire price will not include tickets, admission charges, ferries, road tolls or parking. However, the Company may make these arrangements, on request, on the Customer's behalf and would do so acting as an agent for the Customer. This means that any terms and conditions applicable to that transaction by that supplier (i.e. those relating to payment, cancellation, refunds etc.) would be as binding on the Customer as if they had made these arrangements directly. Details of such are available upon request, the Company will not enter into any arrangement on the Customer's behalf until payment from the Customer to the Company has been made. 

7.2.    All bookings at the point of quotation will be based on the use of a single Driver however, for longer journeys in terms of hours it may be necessary to employ the services of a second Driver in order to comply with the regulations regarding “Driver’s hours” and therefore the Company reserves the right to review the quotation should this be the case and should there be a need for additional charges the Hirer will be advised at least (where possible) 7 days prior to the journey date. 

7.3.    Irrespective of the clauses above, should the Customer instruct the Driver to, or otherwise make changes to the booking and these changes incur additional costs and charges, either before or during the booking, the Customer accepts full liability for said charges. 

7.4.    For some journeys, it may be necessary to accommodate the Driver, these costs will be borne by the Hirer and will be paid in advance of the journey’s commencement. Where Driver's accommodation is arranged by the client, it must be a single occupancy room of a reasonable basic standard, and should include evening meal and breakfast as appropriate. 

7.5.    The quotation is given with regard to the operating costs at the time of the quotation. If more than 14 days elapse between the date of the quotation and its performance, the Company reserve the right to pass on any increase in the cost of fuel or any other increased costs to the Hirer. The Company reserves the right to charge for damage to vehicles made by the Hirer and/or the passengers. Monies will be collected from the Hirer. The Company may charge a £100 refundable sickness and damage deposit for night time hire. 

7.6.    Any taxes or charges imposed by any Government or other authority which the Company is obliged to pay in order to fulfil the booking will normally be included in the quotation or confirmed booking price. However, if any such tax or charge is introduced or increased after the booking has been made and before travel, the Company will pass that cost onto the Customer and the Customer will be obliged to pay it prior to departure. Failure to make such requested payment will be regarded as cancellation by Hirer and subject to the provision of clause 12 below.  

 

8.       Vehicle Photographs

8.1.    On request the Company can provide a photograph of the type of vehicle being supplied. In this case the photograph supplied is illustrative only and may be a different make/model with different livery and appearance to that actually supplied to the booking. 

 

9.       Luggage and Passenger Numbers

9.1.    The vehicle supplied by the Company will take account of the amount of luggage as well as the number of passengers specified at the booking time.

10.   Tickets for Amusement Parks and Other Venues

10.1.    The Company may arrange tickets on the Customer's behalf at an agreed rate for access to Amusement Parks and other venues.

The voucher is designed purely to be exchanged between the group leader and the ticket kiosk and has no cash value. 

10.2.    The voucher can be used for entry to the park for fewer guests than listed on the voucher but not more. Any guests in excess of the number on the voucher may have to pay the current walk up day rate. All tickets issued are subject to the terms and conditions of the venue, and the Company recommends that particular attention is paid to the requirements for use of specific rides or attractions. Copies of the venues terms and conditions can be provided on request. 

10.3.    In the event of an unscheduled closure of the venue, a full refund of the ticket price, less an administration charge will be made, no refund will be made in respect of closure of part of the venue or any particular ride or attraction. 

10.4.    For the avoidance of doubt any refund of tickets in either full or part does not amend or otherwise change the Company cancellation policy in relation to any vehicle arranged by the Company in connection with the journey, specifically clauses 12 and 13 below.

12.2.    In the event of cancellation by the hirer any charges for credit or debit card processing, bank transfers, international currency exchange or other processing fees paid by the hirer are non-refundable, and the company reserves the right to charge for any such fees or expenditure incurred in making a refund to the customer and deduct such costs 

12.3.    Where the Hirer has paid for additional costs such as ferry crossings etc., refunds will only be made in line with the cancellation policy of the service provider. 

12.4.    Cancellation of an event or holiday or "reason for travel" does not affect the Hirer's liability for the above cancellation fees and the monies will be due as if the vehicle was travelling.  

12.5.    Should the Customer not have paid the amount set out above at the time of cancellation the balance shall become due immediately and shall be a debt owed to the Company.

13.1.    In the event that the Company is unable to provide a vehicle or vehicles to meet all or part of the Customer's booked requirements due to reasons of emergency, vehicle unavailability, or other reason, the Company will take all reasonable measures to provide a replacement or alternative solution. If this is not possible, the Company retains the right to return all monies paid and, without liability, cancel the booking providing the Customer with as much notice as possible.  

13.2.    In such circumstance the Company shall have no liability for any inconvenience or loss incurred and will not be liable for any direct or consequential loss howsoever arising. It is strongly recommended that the Customer should consider insuring against this risk. 

 

14.    Purpose of Journey 

14.1.    The Company must be notified of any bookings for football matches, music festivals or political demonstrations and rallies at the time of booking, as there may be specific legal or other requirements that could affect the booking.

15.    Force Majeure   

15.1.    Neither party shall be liable in damages or have the right to terminate this Agreement for any delay or default in performing hereunder if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to Acts of God, Government restrictions (including the denial or cancellation of any export or other necessary license), wars, insurrections, strikes, including, without limitation, failure of suppliers, subcontractors, and carriers, bad weather, and/or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party whose performance is affected to substantially meet its performance obligations under this Agreement. 

 

16.    Use of the Vehicle

16.4.    Where the booking is to collect passengers from an airport and the Customer has provided a scheduled arrival time, the scheduled pickup time for the booking will be adjusted by the Company to allow 45 minutes for the passengers to disembark the flight, reclaim luggage and clear customs. In the event that the Customer requires a fixed pick up time, this allowance will not apply. Where flights are delayed and the cumulative delay shall exceed this allowance; clause 16.4 below shall apply. It is strongly recommended that the Hirer take out travel insurance to cover this eventuality. 

16.5.    For the avoidance of doubt a Driver will wait for a maximum of 30 minutes from the scheduled time of pick up or such shorter period as may be determined by the Driver that will adversely affect his/her Driver's hours. Should the Customer not have arrived for pick up within this period the Company shall be relieved of any obligation to provide the service and shall have no liability to the Customer for any costs incurred by the Customer in completing their journey. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall use reasonable endeavours to complete the journey at full cost to the Customer. 

 

17.    Change of Vehicle  

17.1.    The Company reserves the right to subcontract to another operator to perform the hire or to supply replacement vehicles with the same number of seats.

18.2.    Stops will be made at suitable points to satisfy legal requirements regarding breaks and rest for Drivers. It is the Hirers' responsibility to account for all passengers at those times.

If any breach is likely to occur the hirer agrees to pay any additional costs incurred. 

20.2.    If delays occur for whatever reason, the Company may take whatever action is deemed necessary for the Vehicle in order to comply with the law.

Property is to be collected at a time agreed by the Company and the Hirer or passenger. 

 

22.    Passenger Conduct

The Driver may refuse to continue a journey if, in his sole discretion, he considers any passenger to be behaving in such a way as may compromise the safety of other persons, the contents of the vehicle or the vehicle itself.  

22.2.    In such event, at the Driver's sole discretion, the journey may continue once the passenger or passengers have been removed from the vehicle, but should passenger conduct result in summary termination of the journey, the Company reserves the right to cancel any other parts of a booking, and in such circumstances the forfeiture of any monies paid, and no claims for compensation or refund in either whole or part shall be entertained. 

22.3.    Any damage caused to the vehicle by the Hirer or any of the passengers shall be the responsibility of the Hirer and the Hirer shall be liable for all costs related thereto. 

 

23.    Alcohol, Tobacco or Drug Consumption
