Notably, passengers are forbidden to:

*Smoke in the vehicles

In any event, Transporter cannot be held responsible for any delays caused by the conduct of some passengers or for damages caused to other passengers.

Baggage

All passengers without exception must clearly label all their luggage with the owners’ name, destination address and home address.

All passengers are limited to TWO items of luggage only on all transfers.

Transporter does not accept to transport luggage whose value is above 800 euros.

“Over-sized” baggage e.g. a pair of skis or a snowoard, a bok (in a suitable carrying bag), bag of golf clubs, parapente wing etc. may be authorised, subject to being clearly stated at the moment of booking and provided that there is space available in the vehicle.

In any event, oversized baggage will be considered as one of the two items of luggage authorised and mentioned above.

Packages of materials which are dangerous, flammable or likely to inconvenience other passengers or harm their safety cannot be accepted.

Loss or damage to luggage

Luggage remains under the sole responsibility of the passenger.

It is up to the passenger to ensure, upon leaving the vehicle, that he/she does not forget any of their belongings or luggage.

Transporter cannot be held responsible for theft or damage to baggage or personal belongings left or forgotten in the vehicle.

Only where fault is duly proven can Transporter be held liable.

Transporter will only compensate for damage for which it is being held responsible if the amount of the damage is reasonably justified.

Transport of children

Any person aged under 18 years is considered to be a child.

It is compulsory to reserve a seat for all children and babies, regardless of age. Each child must travel in their own seat.

European legislation requires every child less than 1.35m tall to travel in an appropriate booster seat.

It is the responsibility of the Client and/or passengers to have appropriate booster seats for their children.

If the Client or passenger does not have an appropriate child seat, Transporter will refuse to transport the child and one of his/her companions.

In this event, no requests for refunds or compensation will be granted.

Under certain conditions, Transporter may provide, free of charge, booster seats conforming to E/CE R44/04 standard.

• If the Clients request them at the time of booking

• If the seats are available

• If Transporter has confirmed the availability of the seats

It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian of the child to secure him/her in his seat or booster and to ensure that s/he is safely placed.

For seats or boosters provided by Transporter, the staff may seat and secure the child.

It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian of the child to ensure that s/he is safely placed.

In the event that the parent or guardian is not satisfied with the safety seat, they can refuse to travel with Transporter.

Transporter will therefore refund the price of the seats, up to the child’s place and that of his/her parent or guardian.

The Client and/or passenger will be responsible for reorganising his/her own means of transport.

No other compensation will be due.

Children less than 12 years old are not allowed to travel in the front of Transporter vehicles.

Children less than 16 years old are not allowed to travel along without a parent or guardian.

Children between 16 and 18 years are responsible for securing their own seatbelts.

Parents or guardians are responsible for the conduct of their children on board Transporter vehicles and will be held responsible for any damages caused in any way by said children, in accordance with article 1384 of the Civil Code (code civile).

Seatbelts

It is compulsory to wear a seatbelt. Any passenger who refuses to conform to this rule will be denied transport by Transporter, with no refund or compensation due.

Animals

Transporter does not transport animals, even pets.

Airport Delays

Clients are asked to keep Transporter informed of any incidence of lost luggage causing delays for the client at the airport.

It is the responsibility of the airline and or handling agent of the airline to deliver any lost luggage to the passenger.

In the event of a significant delay caused by lost luggage, Transporter may cancel the original airport transfer booking and reschedule a new transfer to cater for the 'newly' scheduled arrival time caused by the delay in waiting for lost luggage. In this case, passengers will be charged for the additional new transfer, and no money will be refunded for the cancelled transfer.

Clients are free to refuse the newly scheduled transfer and organise an alternative transfer themselves.

Clients are asked to keep Transporter informed about all possible delays and changes to their scheduled flight(s).

Where the client’s flight has been cancelled, delayed, diverted or missed and the client will not arrive in time for the transfer as originally booked with Transporter, officially the transfer has been missed, and no refund will be provided.

Transporter will however make every effort to accommodate such clients where possible on the next available transfer, although the client may be required to wait for this service.

In the case where Transporter is unable to accommodate the new arrival time following a flight delay, cancellation, or missed flight the client will be required to make alternative arrangements and no refund will be provided for the original transfer booking. Clients are advised to check the terms of their travel insurance.

Where a private transfer has been booked and the flight is delayed up to 60 minutes from the flight’s scheduled arrival, the client will not be charged any waiting charges. If Transporter can accommodate waiting for the flight arrival, the client will be liable for a waiting charge of 50€ for each additional hour or part thereof. This charge must be settled prior to the vehicle’s departure.

Upon request, Transporter will provide the client with a statement of waiting charges for the client’s insurer.

Clients are advised the check the terms of their travel insurance.

Departures from resort

Passengers must be ready and waiting for the Transporter vehicle at the specified time of pickup, at the pickup point specified in the confirmation email or text message.

The passenger must be watchful for the arrival of the Transporter vehicle and may him/herself visible to the driver.

Transporter has a 30 minute time slot after the pickup time, to come and collect the passenger/s.

If at the pickup time and during the 30 following minutes, the passenger is not ready and waiting for the vehicle at the agreed pickup point, or does not make him/herself visible to the driver, the booking will be automatically cancelled.

The passenger will not be entitled to any refund or compensation.

S/he is responsible for organising his/her own transport.

Once the period of 30 minutes has expired, if the passenger is still waiting for the Transporter vehicle, s/he should call the number indicated on the receipt. Any useful information will then be provided by Transporter.

Transporter strives to meet the schedules times.

However, for circumstances beyond its control, including weather conditions or traffic, Transporter may be forced to change the schedule.

Transporter therefore undertakes to inform the passengers within a reasonable time.

Passengers must ensure that they have provided Transporter with a telephone number at which they can be reached for the duration of their stay.

If Transporter cannot reach the passengers, Transporter will not be held responsible for any delays caused.

Bookings

Each booking is nominative and therefore not transferable.

For groups, the booking is made in the name of one person, acting on behalf of all members of the group.

Transporter's obligations

Transporter will make every effort to ensure that the vehicles leave at the scheduled time (subject to the 30-minute period mentioned in the previous paragraph) and that they reach their destination at the scheduled time.

Transporter cannot be held responsible in any way for delays due to events beyond its control and equivalent to force majeure.

The below is a non-exhaustive list of events which may be considered as cases of force majeure:

*Vehicle breakdowns, given that Transporter’s vehicles always have their servicing up-to-date but cannot be guaranteed to be free from mechanical damage.

*Exceptional or severe weather conditions – snow storms, avalanches

*Natural disasters

*Accidents on public roads, causing delays

*Vandalism

*Traffic jams or dense traffic

*Strikes

*The vehicle being delayed or stopped by police or an agent of the state, etc.

In the context of such events, no refund or compensation will be due by Transporter.

In the event that an alternative route could be taken to reach the destination, passengers will then be offered the following options: continue the journey with Transporter and assume any additional costs that may be charged to them or cancel their trip (see the section on cancellations).
