Taxileader reserve the right to decline a Booking Order for any reason, including legal and regulatory reasons.

3D) Pick-up and/or transport location

Taxileader undertakes to pick up and/or transport to the location specified by the customer or agency. However, the customer (or agency) is solely responsible for checking whether the locations are accessible on the requested dates and times.

Although the drivers undertake in any case to pick up/transport to the closest possible location, neither the driver nor Taxileader can be held responsible, neither in terms of inconvenience nor in terms of costs, for any consequences if the locations are inaccessible for example due to a sporting event, a road block, a police raid, epidemics or any other reason.

4. Special requests:

For any special requests, the Customer should provide the information at the time of Booking.

Taxileader will pass on all such requests to the Transport Service Provider, but can't guarantee that they will be met, and the platform will have no liability to the Customer if they are not.

Car seats:

Whenever car seats for children are needed, the Customer can select the number directly on the online Booking form or on the phone.

Note that the Transport Service Provider will provide child / baby seats if requested whenever possible. However, Taxileader reminds to the Customer that being a service subject to availability and not mandatory in terms of law, it is not possible to guarantee the availability until the time of the Transport/Transfer.

Please note that Taxileader and the Transport Service Provider cannot guarantee that the seats provided will be the exact fit for the Customer’s child.

5. Prices:

The cost of Transfers varies according to the place of departure and destination, the date of the Transfer and the number of Passengers. It is therefore necessary to calculate the exact cost by filling out the booking form.

TAxileader reserve the right to amend advertised prices at any time, and also reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices.

Special note: changes and errors sometimes occur, therefore the Customer should check the price of the chosen Transport Service at the time of Booking.

All Charges are due, and the full amount has to be paid immediately upon making a Booking with the payment method designated by the Customer.

In case an error, misleading statement or other problem occurs, the platform may, at its sole discretion, reject the Customer’s Order.

If the new Transfer price is less, the Customer will be partially refunded.

If the new Transfer price is more, due to changes in pickup or drop off time or distance, the Customer will be required to pay the additional amount.

If no changes can be done, the Transfer will have to be cancelled.

For an airport Pickup where the Pickup time is the flight arrival time and the flight arrives earlier than the scheduled time, the scheduled Pickup time remains the initial scheduled Pickup time.

10. Flight delays or cancellation:

Taxileader shall not be liable for cancellation, rescheduling or delay of Passenger’s flights and other circumstances not depending on Taxileader's actions or inactions, and shall not be able to guarantee the waiting for the passenger at the meeting place beyond the limits of the free waiting time of 60 minutes.
