1 Introduction
1.1 Please read these terms and conditions carefully before making your booking. By making a booking with us, you agree to be legally bound by these terms and conditions as they may be modified and posted on our web site from time to time as well as other information contained in the website and shown on your vouchers. Please also note that as you are contracting directly with the Supplier you may also be bound by their terms and conditions of booking.
1.2 By ordering any services from our websites, you are entering into a contract with the Supplier for the supply of Services and not HolidayTaxis Group Ltd. You agree to be legally bound by these terms and conditions of use as they apply to your order.
1.3 If you do not wish to be bound by these terms and conditions then regrettably you may not place an order via our website.
2 Ordering
2.1 To place an order you must follow the ordering procedures set out on the order page of our website. All orders must be placed at least 48 hours in advance of your departure.
2.2 We are entitled, on behalf of the Supplier, to refuse any order placed by you. We do not guarantee to successfully allocate a Supplier to every booking request. In the event that we are unable to allocate your booking request to a Supplier, we will send an email to advise you of that fact. An alternative may be offered which may include additional charges. We will acknowledge your booking request by issuing a booking voucher on behalf of the Supplier to the e-mail address you have given us upon ordering. Supplier details will only be provided if your booking is successfully allocated. Subject to clauses 3.3, 4 and 5, the order will then be fulfilled by the Supplier on the date set out in the booking voucher.
2.3 You confirm that all details you provide to us for the purpose of purchasing the Service from the Supplier will be correct, that the credit or debit card which you use is your own and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the cost of the Service. We reserve the right to obtain validation of your credit or debit card details before providing you with the Service. If validation cannot be obtained and payment is not made, we reserve the right to cancel the booking on behalf of the Supplier concerned who will then not perform the Service.
2.4 For bookings that are successfully allocated to a Supplier, a voucher will be produced detailing your journey details, the Supplier's details and your unique voucher number. It is your responsibility to check the details of your booking on the voucher prior to travel and inform us if there are any errors. HolidayTaxis cannot be held responsible if the details entered at the time of placing your request are incorrect. You must present this to the driver at the start of your journey. The supplier can refuse the transfer if your booking voucher is not shown.
2.5 Disabilities and Medical Problems: If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your transfer, please provide us with full details before we confirm your booking so that we can advise as to the suitability of your chosen arrangements if possible. Please inform us at the time of booking if any of the passengers are wheelchair users. Please also inform us as to whether the wheelchair is collapsible and the dimensions, so that we can ensure that the correct vehicle is booked to meet your needs.
2.6 Child Seats: As per the EU directive 2003/20/EC the following applies:
Children must use the correct child seat until they are 135cm tall or age 12 (whichever they reach first). They then must wear an adult seatbelt. It is the driver's responsibility to see that children are restrained correctly. However, there is an exemption for licensed vehicles, which can still carry children even if the correct child seat is not available.
Licensed vehicles are subject to the following rules:
· Children under three, if in a licensed taxi/vehicle may travel unrestrained in the rear if no child seat is available.
· For children aged three and above, they must use an adult seatbelt, if no child seat is available or taken.
Please note it is the customer's responsibility to advise HolidayTaxis in advance should child seats be required; these are not automatically added to the reservation. There may be an additional charge.2.7 Shuttles: there will be no charge for children under 3 years of age (providing they sit on an adults lap, and do not occupy the front seats of the vehicle). Children aged 3 years and above always count as a passenger, occupy a seat and must be booked and paid for in full. Any Infants aged 2 years or under must be advised at time of booking to ensure they will be provided a seat.
2.8 Vehicle Type and description: please note when booking a private transfer, this can be any type from a (limited) range of vehicles depending on destination, and we do not state the exact vehicle type you may receive.

The applicable price of any Service is the price displayed on our website at the date and time of your order. The price of any Service on our website may change before you place an order. We try to ensure that our prices displayed on our website are accurate but the price on your order will need to be validated by us as part of the acceptance procedure (see clause 3.2 below). In accepting these terms and conditions once the price of the Service is confirmed, you waive your right to have the Service fare calculated on a taximeter.
