1.3 EDI Transfers does not accept any responsibility in any way for missed flights for whatever reason i.e. traffic delays, accidents, breakdowns, severe weather conditions, or any unforeseen circumstances.
1.4 We advise passengers to plan to arrive at the airport 2 hours prior to flight departure to allow for possible unpredicted delays on route to or from the airport. EDI Transfers will not take responsibility for any passengers missing their flight if two hours check-in time was not allowed. You are free, of course, to arrange to get to the airport for a time of less than 2 hours prior to flight departure; however, EDI Transfers accepts no responsibility for any missed flight due to this.
1.5 All passengers are advised to have adequate travel insurance prior to booking.
1.6 No responsibilities for costs are to be refunded to any passengers who do not wait for their driver and take alternative transport.

If you are unsure about the capacity of the vehicle booked, please contact EDI Transfers customer services team immediately by calling our office on 0141 459 1593 or via email – support@editransfers.co.uk.
1.8 For passenger safety, insurance, and taxi/private hire licensing regulations, all luggage must be stored in the boot/trunk of the vehicle. Luggage cannot be stored on passenger seats or footwells. Please ensure to take this into account when choosing a vehicle. If your luggage exceeds the boot/trunk capacity of the vehicle booked, your driver cannot continue with the trip. We will try to send an additional vehicle; however, if we don’t have one available, your booking will be canceled, and no refund will be issued.
1.9 EDI Transfers reserves the right to refuse carriage of animals (excluding guide/service dogs) which were not agreed at the point of booking. All animals must be secured in a suitable transport box/crate. EDI Transfers accepts no responsibility for costs incurred from a failure to abide by these terms.

1.11 Please ensure you give us your arrival times and day into the UK and not your departing information. We do not monitor flight information for outgoing flights.
1.12 If your flight has any serious delays, please inform us as soon as possible.
1.13 EDI Transfers uses their own transport wherever possible but does use third-party companies where appropriate, such as UBER or other trusted local private hire operators.

1.16 If we are unable to fulfill your booking request, we will notify you as soon as possible, and you will receive a full refund to your card of the full amount you have paid. This may take 1-3 business days to appear in your account (depending on your bank). EDI Transfers does not accept any responsibility in any way and does not compensate if you incur additional charges as a result of organizing alternative transport.
POLICIES & NOTICES
Waiting Time
2.1 On journeys collecting from an airport, as standard, EDI Transfers allows all passengers one (1) hour maximum from the flight landing to meet with their driver. After this, waiting time is charged regardless of reason, at fifty pence (50p) per minute. This will be payable to your driver directly. Your driver reserves the right to refuse travel to passengers who refuse to pay additional waiting time. Please refer to our refund policy.
2.2 No compensation will be offered if the customer is ready earlier than planned and has to wait until the scheduled collection time for the driver to arrive.
2.3 EDI Transfers will assume you wish for a ‘standard’ collection unless otherwise informed in writing in advance of the journey by email to support@editransfers.co.uk.
2.4 Waiting time for all other journeys will be charged at fifty pence (50p) per minute, five minutes from the scheduled collection time or for any stop on-route. Waiting time charges will be payable to your driver directly. Your driver reserves the right to refuse travel to passengers who refuse to pay additional waiting time. Please refer to our refund policy.
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 pick-up 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 pick-up 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 of the full amount paid. This may take 1-3 business days to appear in your account (depending on your bank).
3.3 On journeys not collecting from an airport, we will apply a fifteen-minute (15) 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 pick-up 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 of the full amount paid. This may take 1-3 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 the 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.’ Please refer to our refund policy.
Tolls/Carpark Charges
5.1 All tolls and car park charges are included in the instant online quotes.
Amendments
6.1 Any amendment must be made via an email or by telephone to us, to which you will receive an email confirming the amendment. Amendments must not be made with your driver. Please contact us with amendments as soon as possible. Amendments made with 2 hours or less from the scheduled collection time may not be accommodated. Please refer to our refund policy.
Re-Booking
7.1 All bookings must be made through the office either via the website, telephone, or e-mail. In this way, confirmations are sent out, and the journey is insured.
Cancellation & Refund Policy
