The contract will only be binding for the parties when you receive your transfer voucher by email. In the event that we are unable to provide the requested service, the client will be informed and the total amount will be refunded using the same system used for payment, and the company will be released from any further obligation to the client.
The client must confirm receipt of our notifications. In the event that we do not receive confirmation of receipt of the e-mail, the records stored on our mail server will be considered sufficient proof of receipt.
Our message confirming receipt of payments and payments made by the customer shall not be considered as proof of the existence of a binding contract.
You must print out and have the booking vouchers ready for presentation to the driver physically or via your mobile device so that the driver can examine them himself. If the booking voucher is not presented by the booking holder, the driver may not provide the service. We recommend that you ensure that you have access to and carry out you all communications maintained with the company in addition to the transfer voucher.
It is expressly forbidden for minors to request services from the company, and their parents, guardians or legal guardians must contact us immediately in the event that a minor has booked a service with us in order to proceed with its cancellation. Minors must always travel in the company of an adult passenger.
3. PAYMENT
The charge will be made in euros.
We accept the most common payment methods, such as credit cards (American Express, MasterCard/Diners International, Visa), debit cards (Visa/Delta, Visa/Electron), payment on arrival and PayPal.
Payment on arrival will be made in full when the service is carried out, with the corresponding amount being paid for the return service if booked and always paid in cash.
The use of PayPal is only possible for bookings with a minimum amount and the customer bears the corresponding administration costs.
4. CHANGES
The information contained in the transfer voucher includes the booked destination, the pick-up point and the address of the accommodation. Any changes affecting this or any other information must be communicated by email to info@raicars.com prior to the date of the service and will only be considered effective once confirmed to the customer by email.
The client assumes any increase in the cost of the service due to a change in the booking. The first change will not incur any additional administration fees. Beyond this first change the company may charge a €10 administration fee for each additional change.
Once the contract has been formalised, the customer must notify our Customer Service Department of any errors detected at least 48 hours in advance regarding the corresponding transfer service. Notifications received less than 48 hours in advance regarding the transfer service will entitle the company to cancel the contract without penalty.
5. LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS
Depending on the route and the time of year, our free sale period ranges from 0 to 48 hours prior to the start of the transfer service. If the website does not allow you to make your booking, please contact us so that we can check if there is availability for the type of transfer you are requesting. Please note that our cancellation policy will apply regardless of the date and time the booking was made.
6. CANCELLATIONS BY THE CUSTOMER
Any cancellation of the contract must be made in writing by email to info@raicars.com addressed to our Customer Service Department. Cancellations can be made for individual transfer services as well as for a complete booking including more than one service. If your cancellation request is received more than 48 hours before the pick-up time of the transfer service you wish to cancel, you will be refunded in full for this transfer.
No refund will be made if the cancellation is made less than 48 hours before the scheduled pick-up time of the transfer service you wish to cancel. In this case we will send you an email with confirmation of the cancellation so that you can use it to claim the amount from your insurance company.
7. CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS ON OUR PART
If we are forced to make any significant changes to the terms of service, or to cancel the service, we will inform you as soon as possible.
We will do our best to respect your preferences regarding your chosen vehicle; however, depending on availability, the vehicle may be replaced by a larger capacity vehicle or multiple vehicles. If the change involves a reduction in vehicle category or size for which we have a cheaper rate, the price difference will be refunded to you.
In extraordinary cases we can see ourselves in the need to cancel your booking. You will be refunded the full amount of the booking and this refund will cover all obligations towards the customer arising from such cancellation. In any case, we will make every effort to find viable alternatives to any confirmed booking we must cancel.
8. RATES FOR CHILDREN
All children and infants, regardless of age, will be taken into account in order to determine the capacity of the vehicle to be used, and must therefore be included into the total number of passengers at the time of booking.
9. CHILD CHAIRS
National legislation makes the use of a baby seat or booster seat compulsory for all passengers who are under 12 years of age or no taller than 135 cm. We and all our collaborators comply with the current legislation. If you book a private transfer we recommend that for safety reasons you use a booster seat or baby seat for passengers under 12 years of age or with a height of less than 135 cm. During the booking process you will have the opportunity to book child seats or boosters at all destinations.
It is the responsibility of the reservation holder to verify that the retention system is compatible with the vehicle and that it is placed correctly. The company will not be liable for any incidents arising from misuse, or incorrect installation of the retention system.
If the person making the booking wishes to travel with their own baby seat or booster seat it is in their right.
We will do our best to ensure that the vehicle in which your transfer takes place has the child seat or booster seat as long as it has been booked. There may be occasions when the reserved chair is unavailable. In such cases, you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid for the chair reservation. If no chairs are available, children over the age of three must use a seat belt. Children under the age of three may travel without a retention system but must travel in the rear seats of the vehicle.
10. ADDITIONAL STOP
The additional stop service will only be provided if it has been requested in advance at the time of booking. During the booking process you will have the possibility to book an additional stop in case you need to collect or drop off keys or if your group is split among more than one accommodation. The address of the additional stop must be located at the same destination as the main stop. The maximum duration of this additional stop is 5 minutes.
11. BAGGAGE ALLOWED / CAPACITY
Vehicles used for private transfer have a capacity for at least 1x bag or suitcase per passenger seat with a combined maximum size of 158 cm (length + width + height) per piece of luggage. At the time of booking you must take into account the baggage to be carried and you must choose one type of vehicle or another depending on your luggage. It is not necessary to declare smaller items that can be placed on the passenger’s footrest such as cameras, briefcase, bags or small backpacks. The passenger shall be liable for all expenses incurred in case of needing additional vehicles for the carriage of undeclared baggage.
Your acceptance of the proposed Contract and the Terms and Conditions is deemed to be a tacit agreement in which under no circumstances will you include in your baggage or personal items objects that violate the laws of the country in which the service is provided (firearms, etc.) or those that may be harmful to third parties, or objects of size, excessive weight, expiration or fragility.
Unless you are traveling with a guide dog, animals are not allowed.
The carriage of baggage and other personal items is at your own risk and in no circumstances shall we be liable for possible damage or loss. This risk of damage or loss should be covered by the client taking out insurance by the customer prior to the start of the trip.
