Terms and Conditions for Outbound and Inbound Taxi Service
Local Taxi Service
For local runs, if the pick-up time will be change, you will be served however, it will be on the next available slot. We normally allow change of pick-up timings, however, once the driver left the base which is about 15 minutes for local area, 30 minutes for a pick-up to the next town, 45 minutes or one hour for long distant runs, we normally check the traffic and based our decision on the current traffic conditions. In case there is another extension after the initial change of pick-up time, we have the right to cancel the taxi booking and refund the 50% of the taxi fare IF the passenger agrees, we do not leave our passengers stranded and potentially, if the pick-up timings are keep on changing, our service will be delayed as any change in pick-up time would create a domino effect in our logistics.
