3.1.9 Modification of Reservation – The Passenger may only modify the reservation with prior agreement on such changes with the Company via direct correspondence (telephone, email, WhatsApp, Messenger). The changes must be accepted and confirmed by the Company. In some cases, the transfer price may also change. In such situations, the new transfer price will be communicated, and the changes will take effect upon confirmation of payment of the new fee. If the new transfer price is lower, the Company will refund the Passenger the difference. If the new transfer price is higher, the Passenger is obligated to pay the difference. The Company may deny changes if notified less than 12 hours before the scheduled pickup time. In such cases, the service will be executed according to the original reservation or the Passenger may request cancellation, as outlined in section 3.3.
3.2 Waiting Time
Upon booking the transfer service, the Passenger must provide the exact pick-up location and time. Depending on the nature of the service being executed, the driver will wait for the Passenger as follows:
3.2.1 Pick-up from the Airport – 45 minutes calculated from the scheduled time of arrival or from the time indicated at the reservation (if different from the arrival time). In the event of a flight delay not exceeding 2 hours, the waiting time is calculated from the actual time of landing. Should the delay exceed 2 hours, the Passenger must contact the Company or the driver to determine further steps, however, as a general rule, delays exceeding 2 hours will result in cancellation of the reservation and the Passenger will have no recourse for refunds from the Company. If the aircraft arrives earlier than scheduled, the waiting time is calculated from the actual landing time, provided the Passenger has submitted accurate flight details to enable tracking.
3.2.2 Pick-up from a Terminal/Sea Port – 30 minutes calculated from the scheduled arrival time or from the time indicated at the reservation (if different from the arrival time). In the event of a delay not exceeding 1 hour, the waiting period is counted from the actual arrival hour. Should the delay be greater than 2 hours, the Passenger must contact the Company or the driver to ascertain the subsequent course of action. However, as a general rule, delays exceeding 1 hour will also result in cancellation of the reservation and the Passenger will have no recourse for refunds from the Company. Should a vessel arrive earlier, the waiting period is calculated from the actual time of arrival, provided the Passenger has submitted accurate sailing details to allow tracking.
3.2.3 Pick-up from Train or Bus Station – 15 minutes calculated from the indicated time in the reservation. Due to the inability to track trains and buses, in the event the Passenger does not inform the Company or the driver of a revised time of arrival, the driver will not be able to complete the pick-up and terminate the service 15 minutes past the time indicated in the reservation, leaving no recourse to seek a refund from the Company.
3.2.4 Pick-up from Accommodation – 15 minutes calculated from the time indicated in the reservation.
3.2.5 Additional Waiting Time – should there be a requirement for additional waiting time prior to the scheduled pick-up or during the execution of the transfer, the Passenger may inquire with the executing driver whether such waiting is permissible. Should acceptance occur, an additional fee of €10 for every commenced 10 minutes of waiting time will be charged. The fee for additional waiting time is to be paid directly to the driver. Acceptance is subject to the individual schedule of the respective driver, who may or may not agree to the additional waiting time.
3.3 Passenger No-Show
3.3.1 A no-show occurs when the Passenger fails to appear at the pick-up location despite the expiration of the free waiting time, or additional waiting time if previously agreed upon between the Passenger, the assigned driver, and/or the Company. The pick-up location is defined as the place (address) specified by the Passenger in the reservation and confirmed by the Company in the returned reservation confirmation.
3.3.2 If the Passenger is not present at the designated pick-up location at the scheduled pick-up time, the designated driver will attempt to contact the Passenger via SMS/WhatsApp or by phone. By booking the transfer and providing a contact phone number, the Passenger consents to its use for the proper execution of the service.
3.3.3 The Passenger may raise concerns regarding the proper execution of the pick-up within a maximum period of 14 days following the scheduled date of pick-up. During this time, evidence confirming the correct execution of the order by the driver will be preserved (photographs from the waiting location, records from geolocation, confirmation of attempted contact).
3.3.4 In the event of a verified error in the execution attributable to the driver or the Company, the Passenger may request a full refund for the unexecuted order. If the Company can prove that the driver complied with all requirements, i.e., they waited at the correct location and at the appropriate time and attempted to make contact, the refund will not be granted.
3.4 Driver No-Show
3.4.1 The driver is obliged to be present at the pick-up location at the scheduled pick-up time.
3.4.2 If, for any reason, the driver anticipates being delayed, they shall attempt to contact the Passenger (via telephone call/SMS/WhatsApp) to notify them as soon as possible, but no later than the scheduled pick-up time.
3.4.3 A delay of up to 15 minutes is considered undesirable but permissible.
3.4.4 Should the driver anticipate a delay of more than 15 minutes, they are obligated to notify both the Passenger and the Company to work out the best solution, which may include the dispatch of another driver or alternative transport arrangements. Should such an arrangement be reached in agreement among the Passenger, the Company, and the driver, the Passenger shall incur no additional costs related to the alternative transport. In extreme cases, where the driver is unable to arrive at the pick-up location, the Company will promptly inform the Passenger and provide the best possible solution (alternative transport or a full refund).
